  NO sympathy for the Family of Charles Graner.

  You either HAVE values or you don't. I had them when I arrived from the UK in 2001, right after 9/11 and I maintained them ever since. I took flak and still take flak for having values. I am relieved to see over the last 18 months that America HAS come to its senses. The people who actually denigrate me for speaking out are fewer and fewer. I am amazed when I send my links to my rants and videos, about strafing civilians in dust bowl streets as being corrupt, that these days I get agreement and collusion. Very many want to turn a leaf and not go that same way ever again. As a parent had I received photos like that I would told my son to think again and if he could not, then never to involve me in such awful behavior again. I might even have been the one to 'blow the whistle'. What IS the matter with you guys? I served in Germany five years 61-66 and saw that behavior of troops can decline but I tried to keep my values when I saw others give in to temptation. I personally would not have been that upset were they caught. Have you seen 'Platoon'. Did it not make you sick? Did it not determine that you would not succumb to such things. We blamed Germans for what happened there? Should we not then blame American voters for their second term choice. What DID you vote for? You knew what was going on right?
