I have to say, Swamp-Thing, you do sound a little naive. Alright, we all know you disagreed with this war, but aren't you overdoing it a bit? I can understand if you argue over strategic choices, such as the massive bombings of cities and subsequent civilian casualties that took place in Vietnam, but you'll have to admit that the US Army did try to minimize civilian casualties in Iraq. In fact, I think its a first in their military history...On the other hand, might have been a bit optimistic to pose as liberators after flattening Baghdad. (Or maybe not, France was quite thoroughly bombed during the Liberation in 1944, for which we french are grateful, not kidding Ranger my man, hold your horses ).

My point was, Swamp-Thing, what do you think war is, a tea party? An army is not a police force, they don't come shouting at you to drop your weapons. Anyway, the US Army likely don't speak arabic too well...

BTW, the flyboys on the video do sound a little...overexcited, for want of a better term. I read somewhere that the Us Airforce gave Dexedrin to its pilots...Do you think its true, Ranger, and could it not be somewhat problematic?
