" 'The killing of innocent civilians is policy. It's unit policy and it's Army policy. It's not official policy, but it's what's happens on the ground everyday. It's what unit commanders individually encourage.' - Iraq War veteran Mike Blake

Just because the talking heads said "you can't compare this war to the Vietnam War", we all sat on our hands and said, "oh, that must be so."

Fact is, it's exactly like the Vietnam War in too many ways, and nobody wants to talk about it. Where the f*ck are the investigative journalists? Are they all just bobble heads for Pravda? Such a shameful lot.

What I witnessed in Vietnam, nobody wants to hear about, but I can assure you, it wasn't all pretty. There was a lot of heinous crime committed against those people just for being Vietnamese. Get a grip America. We are no different than any other nation when it comes to war. War is hell, and people die. Soldiers lose hope, and anger surfaces against anyone unfortunate enough to be standing around.

And we are going to lose like Vietnam

Because we did not prosecute war criminals then we are doomed to repeat that mistake unless we change. We must prosecute the instigators of war crimes vigorously so they cannot rise again to fight another day. Ford pardoned the same folks that are the instigators of war crimes today and on the Democratic side Pelosi, Reid and the DINO's are surreptitiously doing the same for the repeat offender, war criminals of today=war unending.

since we have forced our way to the gates of hell we may as well go all the way and storm the gates.
