      This man tortured hundreds of prisoners in Guantanamo, hopefully he feels defeated and angry for the rest of his life. Hopefully, every unjust oppressor feels the same. It is a great lesson to everyone, no matter how powerful you think you are, even you can be touched, even you can be humiliated.

    I am ashamed for Congresswoman Wilson. The rebuke from General Kelly, a man who lost his son, came not from his political or military mind but from the heart of a father who happened to be a Marine General. Congresswoman Wilson must know the mistake she made - if not she is not equal to her position. That if true, is more tragic than the loss of our service persons.

      @@koscocosco5309 I spent a great deal of time in countries where people had very little freedom. Their standard of living was squalor. These countries were run by dictators. People were more likely to die at the hands of their own government than an invading army. Iraq was one of those places. Saddam Hussein killed more of his own people than those of any other nation.
      The worst part of war is the affect it has on innocent people living in the war zone. I can assure you I understand the horror of war for those families caught in the battle. I don’t want to see anyone suffer like that. Still, an American serviceman fights to protect our allies and to ensure war does not come to our shores, which it has done only 20 years ago when we were attacked on our home soil and many of our families were lost.
      We could play this all night and I would never presume to have some higher moral ground. War is atrocious. Is should never occur. But humans are brutal and the only way to protect your nation is to stand ready to fight for it.

The reason people, citizens of the USA, do not get it is because only 1% voluntarily sign up to serve, either enlisted or commissioned, in our Armed Forces. This is the reason I have argued for a mandatory draft of every person female or male over 17 years of age for an obligatory 2 years of military service once that is complete they have met the obligation of service, they can stay in if they desire or recieve an Honoable Discharge.
