I overheard this on SiriusLeft, a liberal radio station on satellite radio, this morning and thought I'd post it (paraphrased).
Miliry caller: "I'm not saying what may or may not have happened in Haditha was right, but you have no idea how hard it is to maintain some sense of responsible action when the intestines of your buddy is splattered on your uniform. Especially when those you are fighting treat that responsibility as a weakness and exploit it."
Talk show host: (In extremely sacastic tone) "So you want to kill recklessly, torture, and sink to the level of the insurgents? You want to murder innocent people in cold blood all in the name of victory?"
Military caller: "No, our civility may be our biggest weakness to those we are fighting, but it is our biggest strength to those who we are fighting for. When we win this war, and we will, it will be built on the strength of American values which the vast majority of the United States military is out there fighting and dying for."
Talk show host: (silence)
