If soldiers were really the ravening barbarian murderers that their detractors bawl out at anti-war rallies and protests, this would have ended much differently.
Even those who decry our military as evil baby-killing murder-mad psychos understand, on a deep, gut level, that our soldiers are some of the best, noblest, most self-disciplined individuals* in the world--if they didn't believe it, there's no way they'd be brave enough to act like they did in the seventies, and like some of them still do, even today.
*For the most part. There are bad ones in every bunch.

I certainly don't like war....
ReplyDeleteBut if war is forced on us we have to accept the fact that you win wars by killing the enemy.
If in the process, civilians get killed that is the price our enemy must pay.
I agree. I don't like war, but sometimes peace is an even worse proposition.
