At least three different terror networks are actively trying to kill us here in the US, and our soldiers in Afghanistan and you want to hold us to a pledge of transparency? Do I have that right? In a brutal war where we either wipe them out or they wipe us out?

Much of the burr in Miss Julien’s saddle has nothing to do with misconduct, war crimes or any of the other topics of his hysterical rants. He is being paid to undermine us. A rarity it is when a US soldier commits a crime with intent to do so. It happens, rarely. Mistakes do occur and because of the extremes in this war, they are not trumpeted to the world. Maybe they are covered up to save lives. It’s war, it’s dirty, it’s ugly.

Very little in the prosecution of the war should be public domain. We are not playing tiddley winks. It galls me that we are engaged with barbarians who have no ROE and we must play by the Marquis de Queensbury rules.

To whom is your comment directed. The United States Military?
