I would suggest that you go back to the original
question and steer clear of the politics.  Deb, your
position about this war and its soldiers has been very
clear.  Not all of us concur with you about the war.
We respect the soldiers; we do not respect the logic
behind behing there.  I kind of think the discussion
has strayed--and if I look back to how it got there,
Deb, you opened the door to that.

If we refocus on the issue at hand, it sounds as
though some of the military experts (soldiers who have
been there, those working in military museums) have
answered the question.

Since this is an emotional issue for many, maybe it's
time to go on to the next subject.

Speaking of offensive - this attitude needs to be
taken of the list,
permanently. Some of those "trigger happy soldiers"
are the husbands,
wives,
fathers, sons, daughters, grandsons, grandaughts, best
friends, or
other
relations to people on this list. I'm sure they would
appreciate it if
you (and
any others who are thinking the same thing) would not
demonize them in
this
way.
