Anyone else horrified their tax dollars buy death?

In Nam, little kids would walk up to soldiers, drop a live grenade at their feet and run.... I am surprised they are not having that prob in Iraq, or having probs with sappers either. I guess they are having enough problems with IEDs and car bombs. vigilance means you keep on living, indiference and/or letting your guard down can cost you and your fellow brothers in arms their lives. but they don't show those kinds of things in the media. They only show what they can sensationalize.

Yes I am a Viet nam era vet, and I still remember.

Look, I know you probably hate me for the views I hold, but I think we can look through that.
I realize that was a part of the war in Vietnam. And I thought about that as I posted, I really did. But we're referring to a particular situation here, about a video where marines are having fun with a couple of kids. It's one actual piece of possibly positive news in that land of hell..and for someone to talk about shooting them in the situation we're referring to is sickening. Child VietCong is a complete other story, and I sympathize with soldiers who were faced with a decision like that one. I know you don't think so, but I do.
This has turned into a wider discussion on the morality complex(if any) of war. That's a whole other debate, first off. And second, wars are different. I feel differently about particular ones than I do about this current one, or I do about Vietnam.
I regret that I seem to have offended you, and your service for your country. I didn't intend it, please forgive it.
Keep on keepin' on.

Some rifle my taxes bought probably is responsible for some Afghani civilian's brains splattered across the street as we speak. Either that or some new anti-drug propaganda is being paid for.
