6. The whole problem
is impossibly difficult. In another thread They were discussing a waiter, back from Faluja, saying that if we knew we wouldn't send our boys over there in the first place. He discussed the houses that weren't marked and that they busted in and shot entire families, kids and all. Spc. Baker according to a radio broadcast stated the war make him mad and mean or something like that. I do believe that war can make you a mindless killer where one killing is no better or no worse than any other. I ache for all these 18 to 20 something year old kids. Their minds become numb with propaganda, peer pressure, and killing. And just like the prison scandals it's the kids not the officers that take the long sentences.
