I have read all your letters on the military person
that was given a sentence and discharged from service. Our son, who is a
colonel in the Air Force, is wondering why the fact that most of the people who
are being charged in the case of the prisoner mistreatment are either Reserve or
National guard people and some of them are even cops in civilian life. He
said they have never been trained on how to handle prisoners. Don't
blame all the military people for the actions of a few. We are in this
war, now let us support our troops. No one likes to be in a war, but
remember these are all people who elected to defend our nation. Some of
the weekend people are now complaining that they didn't stay in reserves or
National Guard to really fight a war, but the pay was good. Every military
person that is killed or injured is sad, but why don't some of these people
running around with signs talk about all the people that get killed every week
in the United States in some sort of accident. These people are also
missed by their families.
Anyone that had people in the second world war
sometimes didn't hear from their people for months and many of the service
people from that time were gone 2 or 3 years without coming home. We have
too many reporters in Iraq. I for one don't have to see every dead
body. Someone once said, "War is Hell" Just be thankful you live in
the U.S and can still express your view without being censored.
