I choose to believe that the massacres and such are the work of soldiers who are the exception and not the rule, but I agree with most of the points you've made there Jim. We've got a situation in which basically anyone who feels like it can enlist and be given a gun, then get put in a situation where their day-to-day decisions can result in horrible tragedies. Most people are not cut out to be in positions with that sort of power or responsibility, and as you said, I think this kind of thing is largely the work of the non-existant standards for enlistment.
