When I was over there in Desert Shield/Storm, I learned from the Kuwaiti Marines that things are done with Religion in MIND. Seeing some one get their head cut off does not have the same result to them as a whole like it does if you showed it on the tube here.
You are fighting a Holy War to Say. Many time we got thanked for being in Kuwait and helping them. But we have gone way past that. When is enough,,, ENOUGH?????????? We "The USA" can not be everyones parents and hold their hands and slap them when they are bad. Heck we have problems right here in our own soil with gangs and such that are doing the same type things, now to the exteme they are over there. When a family can make a mistake and drive down the wrong street and killed for it in LA, then something is wrong..


Now my favorite Military Person of all Time is Gen. George Patton. He once said something like this....

"War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula"
