So, even though Iraq NEVER attacked america, had NO wmds and NO links to Al Quaida or 9/11, in fact was one of the few countries in the world without an al quaida cell before the invasion, you still reckon that atrocities committed in Iraq is necessary to protect your way of life??

This kind of comment is uninformed, disingenuous and the worst form of Monday Morning Quarterbacking. To equate the

Dexter is the reason we need the draft back.
Zakk:
I agree that this one soldier's actions may be questionable, and it states he has been taken off active duty to look into the situation, and he may be criminally charged. That's proper process. However I feel it is harldy fair to condemn the actions of the majority of fighting men and women in Iraq, who are simply doing what their country asks of them, to the best of their abilities. Question the guys giving orders, point fingers at the administration if you like, but don't question the grunts, since they put their lives on the line day in and day out. Hats off to those who have fallen, and those who are still fighting. I'd be proud to shake the hand of any of these people. Wars are a fact of life.
Until I've been there and lived it, I won't pretend to know enough about the situation to point fingers. Let's all just hope for a swift conclusion to the conflict and to eventual peace in the whole of the middle east.

you know, the draft isnt implemented right now, but say it was and I was drafted. I dont want to be over there, it would suck and Im not cut out for that kind of stuff. But if i had to be there youd better believe id be taking no chances with that kind of situation, if someone made a sudden movement toward me while im just walking down the iraq streets youd better belive id have that gun pointed at their face. worst case scenario you kill a so-called "innocent", (meanwhile half the civillians there probably work with terrorists and do suicide attacks on US soldiers for their gods name), and you get taken off duty and get some kind of minor reprocussions. No marine sargent is gonna be super pissed at you cause you thought u had to defend yourself and shot someone, they know how it is too.
