I asked truly out of curiosity. I share your take, Thomas -- Bush/Cheney are the ones responsible for sending these PFCs and Specs into danger, and these soldiers had the option (or did they?) to refuse deployment. But it's tough to see a single black mother and a confused working class white kid in the hands of fascist Ba'athists. Yes, they were there to kill and conquer, but still . . .
Again, my question was not flamebait or "chum." I wanted to get the mood of the room, and have pretty much gotten it.
