sustain(our guys)in war such as they did inViet Nam ,every news night they showed the horrible pittfalls of enemy bullitts and the like.i think it is important for us to see what is real and what are troopers go through and not to see them standing guard, then,like the Viet Nam we may see the uglyness of war. i think its shrouded to protect people from not joining up. i did join in 74 and saw the Cold War,no action thank God

If you are all gung ho to end this war politisize it more and get our troops out of there your biased. what are our enemies capable of. i have seen footage or muslim executions..more heartless than anything you could imagines..there is absolutely no mercy in there souls. I saw footage of a captured isreali soldiers that they actually cooked and ate! no BS there. i saw them kill russian soldiers like pigs. The chechen rebel put his boot on the russian soldiers head and pig poked him in the cartoid artery while the guy freaked out struggling. i almost couldnt watch it but I have to so I know..i dont want my eyes hidden from what is happening. maybe some do but i dont. i saw the footage of daniel pearl getting his head cut off.. I saw everything not what you guys saw. from the beginning to the end!wake up man the american poeple are soft and if we show them this they will cower..the president knows this and it is wise not to show this stuff.
