Sorry, but I like to think that I'm better than those pieces of excrement in your examples, and the only way I can be that is to be more moral. THAT's what it means to be an American, and if you don't believe that you may as well put a towel on your head because you're no different than they are.
My point was that we are more moral than they are. I understand that it is a slippery slope that we are on, and no, I don't advocate tossing out the conventions just to get the job done. But war is messy, and there are many grey areas that must be navigated in order to achieve victory over an enemy that isn't a signatory or believer in any of the laws of land warfare. The only difference between now and fifty years ago is that those fighting the war on its many fronts do not have the support of the American media, as well as a large portion of the population and even the elected officials that sent them there. There have always been grey areas, war has always been messy, only now people like you want it to be clean. It never will be.

If you feel that way then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Otherwise, step aside and those of us that prefer to act, rather than piss and moan, will continue to do our duties.

Reading Mastery - Level 2 Storybook 1 which includes "The Pet Goat" by Siegfried Engelmann and Elaine C. Bruner ( http://www.amazon.com/Reading-Master...e=UTF8&s=books ) The customer reviews alone are worth a look!
