I guess I should have added that little caveat, that as a side benefit the dog population is being thinned. And we would never shoot Iraqi babies out of frustration and boredom. Just as any normal soldier would not shoot any innocent human being out of frustration or boredom. Notice I said any *normal* soldier. There are the few rotten apples in the bunch but they are far and few between. And just so you all know, I would have never put that post on line if I did not expect any type of negative criticism. I am a big boy and I can handle it. I wanted to put this post to contrast the difference in our attitudes from the relatively safe environment in Kirkuk to the very violent environment here.
