85. Don't take the words of a few as what we all think please. I am ready
to sign off Du also. I don't blame the DFL either. I know where the fault lies. We live in a society that not only condones violence, but promotes it. Look at the movies and games they put out. Kids play with GI Joe and tanks. They are told serving in our military is patriotic. Then the powerful few force them to participate in military actions that are amoral. Of course they do what they're told. They were trained to. That doesn't translate to condoning it or liking it. They joined to protect this nation against attack. They were used. As Michael Moore says will they ever trust us again? Yeah we are angry. Self destruction isn't helping.
