No draft, who's spreading that rumor around??

Just a liitle off topic on this one but...

Remember last week how we were [U]all[U] complaining about how freakin hot is is? A former military man asked me to consider the following statement: Full fatigues, full armor {if they have it}, 100 pound pack, plus weapon and ammo in 100 plus degree heat every day. Not to mention the forced extention of service. This is no excuse for any kind of behavior, but it would be enough to make me more than a little resentful. Like I said, THIS IS NO EXCUSE FOR BEHAVING LIKE AN IDIOT!!!!! It did make me fly off the handle just a bit quicker.

No excuse for this to happen. Having said that you just have to remember that these things have happened in every war. You want to make sure it doesn't happen again? If they are found guilty, hang them. Set the tone. But there will always be that small percentage in any group that just doesn't get the picture.
