I talked to a marine from afganistan that was having a hard time. He was involved in the accidental shooting of an 80 year old couple. It bothers him a lot.

If i had avoided the blunder I would have not made any reference to my mistake. But now that your on partisan-bashing, sounds just like a conservative to get called out on fucking up but sweeping blame under the rug.Quote:

No its not like that! Im not trying to say soldiers are baby killers or women killers! Im not some hippy asshole. Im trying to say that soldiers are ordered to fire on enemies but as a RESULT women and other innocents are killed ACCIDENTALLY. Dont let these guys switch around what im trying to say. I need you on my side with these issues, cat.
OK nichol...its ok. :) I understood what you meant.
yeah cat...there is a shit load of stuff that im trying to "get over" its not so much the fact that i did take many peoples lives, its all the "what ifs". never in my life did i ever think id tell some private to light up a woman....never...but if i didnt that POS would of killed us all...also referr to my post on the "soldier cleared" thread...some nasty stuff happens in war and the only point that im trying to get across here is that there is no reason to talk down on our troops. we only did what we were told, and what we had to do to make it home alive.

I wouldnt wish for any soldier to go into a combat situation unless it was absolutely necessary. I'm speaking out against a government that selfishly asks you to lay your life down just so they could make a profit. If I could, I'd change things so you or anyone wouldnt have to think about 50 cal trucks and bullets in your guts. We may be different idealogically, but Im not your enemy.
He did not mean our soldiers were shooting women on purpose..come on now..
