<U.S. military is ruthlessly slaughtering hundreds of innocent women, children and elderly>

It seems that the imagery one gets when reading the above statement is much different than that of soldiers attempting to make tough decisions about who the enemy is in a guerrilla battlefield situation which I believe is Mr. Kellogs intent.

In the statement above I see soldiers walking into a family home and purposely (ruthlessly slaughtering hundreds) killing a family of children, parents and elderly for no reason. I choose to believe this is not the case and that people who carelessly toss this accusation about intend it to be taken as a wanten disregard for human life by the coalition soldier.

In the second I see a soldier(s) under attack.....or just recently attacked........ from a home by Guerrillas who have purposely put innocent lives at risk by hiding amongst families to purposely camouflage themselves from the soldier(s). In this case I can see "innocent women, children and elderly" being injured or killed.

That's war.

Get used to it.

Go ahead and deny it, if you like. A lot of these guys are getting out of the service soon and they'll be telling their stories, probably before the election in November.

Be well,

Mike
