kakki >> I watched nearly every hour of that war (even at work).<<
randy >>Yebut yebut-Coverage of Desert storm was censored.<< watching a war on tv (even writing this sentence sounds crazy...what a strange world we live in) has little to do with the realities of war... i think if anyone really wants to understand war, it is essential to listen to those who fought...here is a place to start http://www.veteransforcommonsense.org/ i post again an excerpt from a letter by Charles Sheehan-Miles (founder of http://www.veteransforcommonsense.org/): "Twelve years ago, in February of 1991, I crossed the border between Saudi Arabia and Iraq with the 24th Infantry Division. Back then I was a 20-year-old Abrams tank crewman, and I fought in several battles in southern Iraq. I can say from personal experience, the media got it wrong. The first Gulf War wasn't clean, it wasn't pretty, and it wasn't precise." kakki >>he is someone who has nothing but contempt for most Americans and their country for most Americans and their country.<<< randy >>His main criticisms revolve around our foreign policy<< i've seen this issue come up here so many times- criticizing a gov'ts foreign policy is completely different than criticizing a citizen of a country...whether it is the usa, iraq, whatever...HUGE difference...
