>> Do you hate this country so bad that you're willing to sterotype every member of the military with the taint of these abuses by a select few? Is it select few, or is it policy ? Why don't you ask the US General in charge ? I've provided a quote below. I really expected better of you. Since when is pointing out flagrant lies "hating the country" ?
