I don’t care who you are, that is impressive." That is looking at it from one point of view. Another point of view would be the oposite. They are not disciplined (Haditha, Abu Ghraib, the Mosque Incident, etc etc.), they dont understand the mission, (I dont think top level officials understand the mission anymore), and their job is definetely not done with professionalism and goodwill. (There have been over 100,000 casualties and wounded between Iraqi civilians since the war had started according to official UN sources.) What is happening in Iraq is a tragedy for both sides. The youth and energy of those kids, dying in Iraq could be put at better used, for peacfull purposes. And since it is Father Day, we should ask a Father whos child died thousands of miles away in a country he couldnt point on a map; how he feels about the discipline, the mission and the goal. “It looks to me like they are disciplined, working hard, understand the mission/ goal and are doing it with professionalism and goodwill.
