Your post hardly deserves an answer, but I'm going to give you one anyway. You answered your own question about the young men in jail for their immoral crimes against Iraqis. They're in jail because we live in a moral country. As to the other 'points' in your insulting post: Our country demands that its military behave in a moral fashion, and these days constraining rules of engagement are the very reason why more of our young people are getting killed. If that weren't the case we would simply kill everybody in sight and take over the place rather than trying to establish a new democracy. The morality we stand on is in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. I suggest you read them some time and maybe you'll see why you have the right to mouth off at will about the actions of the government without fear. This country was founded by moral giants, the like of which have never assembled elsewhere in history. They built a moral country based on moral principles (not principals, as you spelled it), and it is the greatest country on earth. It is so great it can tolerate the likes of you and your cohorts and still be greater than every other nation on earth. Your post is filled with misrepresentations and false information. If you made a cogent argument based on true facts your post would deserve the response I'm giving it. You might also try consulting a dictionary for spelling and comprehension. Your sorry writing reveals your ignorance more than you realize. Don't bother to respond. I don't debate with trolls.

How can U.S. servicemen who commit premeditated murder in the middle of the night in Iraq, like that sick crew from Texas did who are now in jail for raping a teenage Iraqi girl and killing and burning her family, be considered moral? These sick young American men are in jail for their crimes. Please explain the morality of their actions. Rock, you answered your own question. Those servicemen are in jail. No one is defending their actions as moral. Your question makes no sense. The rest of your comments are not really a question at all. You're simply stating your opinion that the Iraq war is not moral and therefore cannot be justified. If you want to talk about the overall decline in morality in this country, you'll need to consider the anything goes mentality of the left non-conservative crowd. JMO
