I wrote a comment on another story and mentioned the sad fact that we are a waring nation/culture. Not unlike the Germany of the Last century or Great Britian during their empire years. Seeing mental images of combat U.S.Marines cuting the throats of toddlers,young kids,pre teens and older.Murdering with knives ladies and handiecappe old men in wheel chairs! This is something that our military has been doing since I can remember which is Viet Nam era. We think of the nazies and german soilders of committing this actions especially on the western front in Poland and Soviet Union! Not our neighbors kids. Our soilders have images of a hallmark card scene,a young girl in school than all of a sudden her mom or dad appears in combat boots and a big U.S.of A smile! Child running towards said parents open arms,whats more touching! Than the obscene reality of combat knives sliding across the throat of innocent children in the Middle East! This is not the image we want during Chritmas,war crimes never to be punished.Aren't we civilized? wern't the german soilders civilized! If this comment is disturbing than we might have a chance,but to blame only our leaders will not make these acts less horrific! I know one thing for sure you won't see images of naked murder by our troops on any Hall Mark Christmas cards. If you did prehaps we would murder less as a nation! Oh ya one more thing when the Democartic bombing "rolling thunder"the republicans called it carpet bombing..
