on a slightly unrelated note I was watching MTV and they had an interview with a soldier from iraq. I want to note that most of the soldiers that I get to talk to are really well rounded and pretty insightful, but this guy was on MTV.

Basically, embedded photographer took a picture of him watching a restrained, unarmed civilian while the recon team searched the house loaded with weapons and munition. and basically this genius says to the reporter that if the camera wasn't there he was thinking about shooting the unarmed civilian in handcuffs because he was so full of rage knowing that this guy had weapons which were used to kill soldiers. Apparently it was enough for the interviewer to consider the thing a life or death situation. I don't think I'm out of line in saying that having a guy in his pajamas handcuffed is about as stable a situation as your going to get in war.

so hickman promise me you will approach whatever you do with more dignity than MTV is going to afford you.
