I follow the news in Iraq closely, and have been very upset by two incidents in particular: the events at Haditha and the rape/murder of a young Iraqi girl and her family. I realize this is a war and it's far from pretty out there. As an American I am trying to understand what is pushing our men to commit such atrocious acts? Yes, there's the 'few bad apples' theory, but can a good apple be turned bad? I can only imagine the stress our troops are under in such a war zone. What I want to know is: what are our soldiers thinking about this war right now?
I am sick of hearing our disconnected politicians pontificate about this war, and want to seek the truth. I am very interested in knowing more from our soldiers' point of view - serious thoughts/answers only, please.
