The Greatest Generation did immoral things in WW2 too. Who are we kidding? When there is all out war, terrible things do occur. Many soldiers after the fact recognize this and have to come to terms with it. WW2 returnees came home to the adulation of the crowd and threw themselves into building a better america and a better life for themselves. Vietnam vets were not so lucky and could not ignore their demons which in their case followed them home. Iraq will fall somewhere in between, i suspect. All those folks who were shocked with pics of iraqi insurgents/terrorists with ladies underwear over their head do not know how lucky most of those folks were compared to what happened in earlier wars. And anyone who thinks the US sucks in its treatment of these folks should look at the record of the germans, japanese, north koreans, north vietnamese and these iraqi terrorists. So dont pick on Ed is what i tried to say but as usual i may have gone far afield. mike
