I honestly believe that no soldier should be punished for killing in a war.(within reason) It is up to our leaders to make sure they send our troops into battle against an enemy army therefore knowing who the enemy is. This police action crap is ridiculous. I'd be so stressed out I'd end up killing a few innocent folks myself.

My point is troops are deadly weapons so make sure you have them pointed in the right direction. Its not the Marines fault they are there. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


I agree, troops shouldn't be held responsible for their actions against civilian populations when in enemy territory. Negligent killing should be expected since they are is stressful situtaions without a well identified enemy, and has always occurred durring wartime. civillians have been killed in all wars either by accident or on purpose, it is just a part of war.

I don't agree with your reasoning behind why you think it isn't their fault though. As far as this being illegal or that Bush has taken/created powers he didn't have a right to, everything he has done has been authorized by the Constitution and Congress, even the wire tapping is authorized. If anyone is to blame it is Congress, but then again Congress has always been willing to give up its powers to reduce political fallout if things go badly.

More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
