Yes the military may have straightened them up and yes maybe they have become men. Probably insurgents have learned how to fight, have become men and know something I dont. You are only seeing a small bit and not seeing the entire goal of making peace and solving problems.

For you it is just about fighting that insurgency that day but does not solve real problems.I hope you stay safe but I think some real leadership is needed to solve this not the kids I know who are over there probably risking their lives and trying to reform themselves.In fact one is so screwed up now I am not sure what will happen to him.
NO IF THEY WERE LIKE THAT IN HIGH SCHOOL THEY PROBALY WONT AMOUNT TO MUCH IN THE MILITARY AS WELL! HOWEVER MY STATEMENT STANDS! ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS ASK YOUR GRUNTS! I KNOW WE DONT SET POLICY BUT OUR OPINION WILL ALAYS LEAD TO MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENT! IT WILL BE EXTREAM BUT WE WILL ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION! MAY I PUT AN EMPHASES ON EXTREAM!

See what happens when you post a news article with no direction for debate? When you posted it, did you intend for the debate to be about Colin Powell's qualifications and expertise---or about what he said about the war?

It was informational and can be open ended...there is nothing wrong with that.
