Liberals hate America, no matter what we do they will always hate this fine country. They hate flag wavers, they hate abortion opponents, and they hate all religions except Islam, because Islam is the only religion that is granted a free pass. I had a feeling a lot of the people here wouldn?t support the troops no matter what. There is just too much hate.
Nothing wrong with getting oil out of the country... my SUV loves Iraqi oil.

Nothing wrong with pumping a little iraqi oil onto a US tanker, when we are paying billions for the rebuilding of that sh1t country.

I guess I don't understand while some of you people dont think we should take oil while we are there. We need oil.

No, we don't. We need refining capacity.
Actually, what we *really* need is a concerted effort to use alternatives to fossil fuels and to reduce the automotive industry lobbying efforts.

I have read this so many times and i have this to say about it. SOME of the American soldiers in the Vietnam war SHOULD have been tried, convicted and hung for their actions. As it is, those committing horrendous acts walk free and drag the rest of the soldiers throught the dirt. Until those who are guilty are punished, it continues to be a black mark in the history of the US.Originally posted by: AEB Doesnt matter who you hate supporting the troops is important, we dont want to happen to them what happend to the veitnam vets, americans were sick then and i hope we've grown up.

Innocent until proven guilty, and why not let them off by "reason of insanity" like everyone else. I think its more important we prevent more travasties, even if we dont get ALL the criminals.
"like everyone else"? exactly WHO are you referring to? AFAIK lots of people from many parts of the world have been tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity, but not ONE single American soldier.
It's real hard to prove someone guilty if they are not even tried for their actions.
If there is no punishment, why would they worry about it?
Law at War, Vietnam, 1964-1973Violations committed in Vietnam by personnel subject to the Uniform Code of Military justice were prosecuted under the provisions of the code. From January 1965 through August 1973, 36 cases involving war crimes allegations against Army personnel were tried by court-martial. Sixteen cases involving thirty men resulted in acquittal or dismissal after arraignment. Twenty cases involving thirty-one Army servicemen resulted in conviction. By the time the U.S. troop buildup was in full swing, various MACV directives contained a sufficient body of law clearly to define, prohibit, and provide for the investigation of war crimes. The constant rotation of troops created a continual need to get the information to the troops.
