    I think here we see the difference between those who know and understand something about the military and those who don't. Basically it's simple. This general has a job, and it's a crappy one. He has to get a bunch of young men and women to so something profoundly unnatural, Kill their fellow human beings. And he knows that psychology is one of the most important aspects of war. The men his Marines will fight are already fanatical. So he has to give them a reason to get gung-ho and fight hard themselves, partially because if they do not believe what they are doing, many more of his people will die than necessary. As far as international opinion goes it's not really that big a deal. The people on our side will accept it, and the people against us will just use it as every other bludgen they are willing to create. ------------------------------------------------------- "These are the old days, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days.

    I did my AFF1 at Perris last month and I'm going back on the 13th and 14th for some tunnel time and my AFF2. I feel like Sergeant Schultz "I know nothing!" But fortunately I appear to be in better hands than I deserve. ------------------------------------------------------- "These are the old days, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days. They're back!
