See How They Ran, story; Kept alive, Poll; Input a question - Must read

In his famous short story “The Things They Carried,” writer Tim O’Brien shows that you can learn a great deal about men by what they take into battle. In the case of the platoon he described slogging through the rice fields in ‘Nam, those items included love letters from home, grenades and land mines, lucky charms, insecticide, copies of Stars and Stripes, fingernail clippers, bags of marijuana, bandages, psyop leaflets and tanning lotion. “Often,” O’Brien writes, “they carried each other, the wounded and the weak.”

I’ve seen many accusations of how terrible these guys were but do you have any evidence besides, 'some say he beat the....'

I thought American justice was: Evidence; Warrant; Arrest; Booking; Trial; Judgement.

What is Bush teaching our children and the children of the world? Has Bush gone insane?

Thank you for reading my opinion!

we do not need no steenkin evidence. get with the program sonny.

i swear i heard one of those foxfeinds say that at one time.

If it is true, and we have no way of knowing, that the kid was shooting at them with an ak 47, then the troops did what they had to do.

How soon they will repeat the mistakes of the past.

I remember children planting mines and helping old crones construct booby traps.

Unless, of course, they just surrounded the house from a safe distance and waited until the occupants ran out of ammunition, food, or water. Its possible that the occupants would have committed suicide, however, if the troops did that. I'm sure the Husseins would have done everything possible to avoid capture.

What happened, happened. We weren't there, we can only speculate.

over and over again until they either committed suicide or gave up.
