He was sitting at a bus stop on Gratiot in Mt Clemens Michigan and was crying his eyes out. I ask him why? He said " We are getting beat in Iraq like my father got beat in Vietnam" and with that said he went back to crying. I just walked away. Is this Marine really that hurt over Iraq?

Do they ( warmongers ) know the real truth? Iraq is going down in defeat and many Americans have their heads in the sand. Do I hear another Vietnam coming?

Report: Marines may have foiled evidence Thu Aug 17, 11:48 PM ET

NEW YORK - U.S. Marines involved in the killings last fall in Haditha of two dozen Iraqis, most if not all of them civilians, appear to have destroyed or withheld evidence, The New York Times reported.

Pages from an official company logbook of the unit involved in the deaths were missing, and an incriminating video taken by an aerial drone was not given to investigators until a top commander asked for it, two Defense Department officials told the newspaper. The Times posted the story on its Web site Thursday night.

The Pentagon officials said a report about the Haditha killings does not directly accuse Marines of attempting a cover-up, the newspaper said. The report, based on an investigation by Army Maj. Gen. Eldon A. Bargewell, has not been made public.

The Pentagon officials told the Times that the Marines were trying to cover up the crime and protect Bush. The Marines are pround of their actions.

In the Detroit Freepress they ran an article about the American military starting to turn against the war in Iraq. Many of the troops are asking "Why are we in Iraq". I say this is a turning point. Anyone remember Vietnam in 1969? That's when the American military said "Enough!".

my brother is leaving day after tomorrow for Iraq. He'll be gone for 9 months and most likely longer. I'm going to send him letters as often as possible, and pictures, and videos (he is able to watch them) He just got married and now has an 18 month old son. I'm looking for answers from people with experience with family members going over seas, or even soldiers and marines and all of them who have been over and know what will brighten my brothers day.

Don't get me wrong as I like the Americans a lot but if they are the Superpower of the world how comes their elite forces cannot match England's SAS?

Several French-haters here seem to infer that the French were somehow responsible for getting us into Vietnam. I don't remember the French asking us to send troops there. It was American fear of communism that had LBJ sending all those boys over to Vietnam (either that LBJ's fear of the Republicans). It was 10 years after the French pulled out of Vietnam before USA got seriously involved in the conflict. Where are these people getting their history from? The Rush Limblah School of Oxycontin?
