I truly hope your brother is safe and well throughout his tour(s) and after - I suspect you have a lot of learning if he is not.

Wait, a second.. I never said anything holier then thou crap. You are reading why too much into something. I don't like my brother serving and I rarely talk to him.
Its an issue with you. Thats fine. But my point is Iraq War, WW2, Viet Nam, First Gulf War or whatever conflict.. Military personal have always been treated like sh!t. But you missed that point.
You decided to rant and rave about this.. Thats great. But I am telling you how it is. I am not your buddy and I am certainly not disagreeing with you on the article.
But blame also has to be shared. People need some responsbility. That Soldier decided to huff sh!t. Does he not bare some of the responsbility for his actions? Or we going to be apologists for ever person who makes bad choices?
If thats a case, I guess we should forgive Congress and President Bush. Do you now see my point?
