re: American soldiers are fighting in the worst possible conditions. Military court hears of combat stress in Iraq rape case Tue Aug 8, 6:52 AM ET A U.S. military court deciding whether four soldiers should be court-martialled for rape and murder heard on Tuesday how troops were "driven nuts" by combat stress and got high on Iraqi cough syrup. Private First Class Justic Cross described how conditions "pretty much crushed the platoon," which lived in constant fear of being killed in the Mahmudiya area south of Baghdad where the rape and murders took place in March. "It drives you nuts. You feel like every step you might get blown up. You just hit a point where you're like, 'If I die today, I die'. You're just walking a death walk," he said. more - news.yahoo.com

Do you support our troops who are over in murderous lands, both people-wise, and weather-wise? Do you do anything at all for them? Or just complain about them. Have you even sent them a "care type package" with different flavorings for the water, candy (nonmeltable), wipes for their skin, cards, socks, little reading lamps, calling cards, etc etc etc...? We have. Many packages. Of course, most Americans are feel badly they are in such a terrible place. BUT most Americans are grateful that there are those who really do care about freedom, and are putting their lives on the line for the rest of us. For the people who want to take from the country, with scholarships, free anything they can get their hands on the easy .... I say, don't join the military. The Military is for Heros, not crumbs. And what in the heck is >> Do you have any idea the death and deprivation that millions of people are suffering because you all have unleashed the American and Israeli militaries?<<<<< I believe it was Hezbollah who have been going into Israeli territory for a long time, not the other way around. Have you been reading anything, or just spouting? And are you telling me that American soldiers are over in Lebanon fighting the Hezbollah? Care to show proof of that....???? From any two responsible MSM outlets, if there is such a thing any more.
