Sorry, GR, but I'm with Bill on this...

Who are you to assume that our soldiers are rapists? Please inform me as to where you're getting that information. My father served in Vietnam and he never ONCE touched a Vietnamese woman or child.

Cajun,
I really like you as a person.
Have you heard about Haditha?
I also know much about Vietnam. Try Mei Li, Medina, Calley.
Google will do.
"Victory"? Anyone????

Did you serve, Wayne?

Rather than using google.com, I have found that I've learned a lot more about it just by talking to the people in this country that have served. (My Dad being one of them.)

No Cajun,
I didn't. I was in college (student deferment). Alas, I lost too many friends, and those that returned were either very badly crippled, or saw the folly of their actions and organized the local college branch of Vets Against the War.
I was in the Students Mobilization to End the War.
Sidenote, my son's girl friend is a psychology post grad doing counseling with returned vets from Iraq, her thesis is about post traumatic stress disorder.
Too many stories to tell.
There has to be a better way. There has to be.
If we are unable to find that way, we'll only continue to cause others to suffer, as we do ourselves.

Cajun,
I don't think the Iraqi insurgents are fighting "fair", IED's and all.
Bad things happen in any conflict, from both sides.
You asked about Haditha, and here's today's story. Careful if you read it... the children in their pajamas kind of choked me up.

These kinds of things only inflame the resistance.
