No offense taken.

It's the "do as your told" method that I have a problem with when it comes to the service. I realize there is no other way to do it but that method has been employed by too many leaders without regard for human life and the outcome of their decisions. I would say we can look back to Vietnam & LBJ and see such an example in our own history. Having said that, the troops that went did the best with what they had and "DID WHAT THEY WERE TOLD." I guess my deal with the current situation is if we are going to do the job then give our Men and Women the tools to do the job right. War is bloody. It always has been and it always will be. Civilian casualties are an unfortunate result of war but a result none the less. I know that sounds harsh coming from a fat S.O.B. sitting comfortably in his house, playing on his computer but it's the truth. To do the job right I fear that bombing of Belgrade is the only option aside from pulling out altogether.

Here is a question: Multiple choice

How many of us could honestly say we trust everything we hear from the Clinton Admin. and would look forward to carrying out his mission without question?

A)I could
B)I Couldn't

The credibility of our Commander In Chief plays a real factor in my mind.
