In one of the last (if not the last) Gulf War panels I participated in, I went up against an Army officer (Captain, I believe) who was a veteran of the infamous Turkey Shoot in the desert. While he disagreed with just about everything I'd said, he confessed that the Shoot was a disgrace to the US and that it sickened him. Apparently, he watched but did not join in. Still, the disgust on his face seemed genuine.
