Andy, you are right, it's really not fair to compare the two. I was just playing framing games.
But. let me ask you another question. You are ex-mil, right? What do you think of the way the current admin is treating the military? And how are they using the military to acheive their political objectives?
It worries me to see that we are forting up over there. It worries me to see our militasry used as an occupation force.
Any military _wants_ to fight, if they didn't, they would be useless for their intended function. So naturally our guys must feel pride to be given the chance to fight.
But, do you feel this is a righteous war now?
( The original campaign went well enough, altho, like the Col [I think he was a Col.] in yesterdays NYT articlesaid, killing Iraqi soldiers is a lot like clubbing baby seals).
