It isn't the good, inate nature of our military that makes them that way. The military, thank God, abides by certain mores and regulations because it is demanded by the people of America.
But see, this is why we'll gladly allow an "enemy combatant" to be held for questioning in Pakistan, or caged up in Cuba. THESE actions reflect the true wishes of our military leaders, not their forced civility.

Yeah, the Afghanis are lining up to thank us. :/

What other country would HOLD the oil for when the new regime is in place. Screw that, EVERYONE else would take it.

What is this in reference to? Do you think the U.S. won't turn Iraqi oil into its own little project, ESPECIALLY if we attack with no UN support...?
