There is only one point that we should be careful about and that is US small-arm weapon handling. I am sure that a little bit of paranoia is not going to get out of hand, My Lai was an aberration, but no so great an aberation that we need no be concerned about discipline and freak out amongst forces in general. The circumstances are much different here and it is all the difference in the world. But US hunters in general are not nearly as safe with weapons. They always tend to sound shoot and point weapons carelessly. I don't know about their soldiers, but I hope their training is somewhat better. I will not hunt at all with American hunters. There are all kinds of topic about WWII, civilian casualties and what we said and they said that are whole other areas and would confuse the issue. I have a stand on that that says we are not lily white, but it bears no comparison here. There is the issue too about national guard at Ohio in 1971, that was clearly an armed forces riot, and was way overeacting. We don't need that sort of mentality either. I have no qualms at all that the US soldiers would be completely benign and very well behaved under rational cool headed command and with some sort of adjustment to our culture. They always were well behaved before and I don't see that changing. EC<:-}
