Don't blame the military for the folly of the politicians. They only carry
out the half-baked ideas of the powers-that-be.

True, and the press is more than willing to accept that fact. They get 
killed on a regular basis have have for years. But the U.S. military 
specifically targets them, and that is not only immoral and illegal, 
it's anti-American. But then too many in the military think the flag is 
more important than the people it represents.
