But if we don't talk about these things people will still have the bullshit idea that war is okay and only bad people die. If you're dropping people off of bridges you're no fucking different than Saddam, and that's the sad tragedy of it all.<br /><br />We probably create more enemies than we kill this way.Josiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08672800976880354454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-23880631506647896362009-08-14T10:19:05.973-05:002009-08-14T10:19:05.973-05:00This is for those who think we've done wrong f...This is for those who think we've done wrong for killing taxi drivers, you dont know who the enemy is there. One minute they are your friends the next your watching your friend being shot to death bye the same man. Anthony Marquez was my friend and my brother in arms. I was injured the same night he was, and you dont know what fear is til you've had a first hand experience. So shut your mouths and deal with it. At least thats one more drug dealer gone.

You're saying we need to evaluate and take care of these guys when they return. You're not even looking at the part about what happened in Iraq.<br /><br />These guys are admitting to war crimes. They frankly say that (because of stress) they killed innocent civilians. They shot taxi drivers "FOR NO REASON".<br /><br />I don't know why TWYK posted this but that's my take-home message. This is why "they" hate us - we invade their country and indiscriminately kill their civilians. Whoever did these things should get counseling - for sure - and also be tried for war crimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-49108186841843181122009-07-29T11:30:47.268-05:002009-07-29T11:30:47.268-05:00Good comment, Brian--especially the emphasis on &#...Good comment, Brian--especially the emphasis on 'not prevalent.' The actions of a small number cannot make us forget the vast majority who manage to make the transition back to civilian life. And, yes, we do need to provide counseling to all returning troops, and to identify those having trouble returning to normal life so we can provide more care for them.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797317910988407423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-90774948574324318242009-07-28T12:35:27.562-05:002009-07-28T12:35:27.562-05:00This just exemplifies the necessary care we, as a ...This just exemplifies the necessary care we, as a country, need to take when welcoming home our combat military veterans. I've had a lot of experience with combat military veterans who join the police force and have trouble distinguishing a patrol beat and the real threat of a combat zone. While this is certainly not PREVALENT, it happens often enough that we should make more of an effort to provide psychological counseling for all returning combat veterans.Brian Kernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963742379943222036noreply@blogger.com
