Doesn't this also raise the Morality-Right-Wrong issue of soldiers carrying out their orders ie Hitlers Nazi Germany, German slodiers gassing innocent jews, etc, etc, etc..... and where does conscience enter the picture not reason..... personally I think this guy was right... Korea was a UN action,,,,,,,,,, Vietnam was a national disgrace,,,,,,,,,,, it's always a slippery slope......it seems. Iraq is just about out of control, not to mention that we can not defeat the radical Muslim mindset in a million years anyway.... Retribution for 9/11 was justified..... How and to what extent is debateable... The wisdom of our leaders in Washington is also debateable, that has been borne out over and over.... what to do, what to think.... where will it all end... its all bullshit, especially if you might die.....!!!! What is worth dying for....serious question...???? Our ME missions are questionable IMO... Our ME missions should be carried out by highly paid mercenaries, black spec ops, diplomatic leverage, overt diplomacy..... regards
