It's not a matter of opinion, I am telling you <b>fact</b> about what my brother was taught in training.
Whether or not soldiers follow these guidelines is a different story.
But none of what I posted is my opinion. It is, as I said, what my brother told me of his training. So whether or not you "agree" is not the point, that's what he was taught, plain and simple. What actually happens in the homes of iraqi's is irrelevant. I am only talking about what my brother was <b>taught in training</b>.
As far as what you see on the news, why would any news media report on a soldier happily enjoying a cup of tea with some friendly iraqis? All media is only interested in the provocative story.
My brother has made a couple friends with iraqis so far, one who is teaching him the language and how to pronounce words. You'll never see that on the media.
Of course this does not mean I agree with the violence that goes on. It is a shame and a disgrace to the american people. Just my thoughts.
