I have been reading the news on this story and find it appalling! It makes the US Military look like street thugs! Why not lock up the kids as well. They may know where their daddy is. This kind of action is not military and gives just cause for people there to hate Americans. What the heck is going on!?!

Do I? It's a slippery slide downhill, not a path that America should take.

I'm not a paranoid liberal....We will never stoop that low.

GSO,

I have to agree with you. It is not befitting of our Military to stoop to so low tactics as the terrorists themselves are employing. All this can do is fan the flames. I could have sworn that the UCMJ forbids the use of non-combatants as hostages to exploit the enemy. I understand the need for intelligence, but not at the cost of rightousness and integrity.

Conservative here.

[garryh123]

I'm a conservative...used to be a liberal but have changed my ways....But I do still love to give the ol middle finger.

Come on, we are talking the Army, they can't find their own arse with both hands, a map, and 2 wing nuts with a flashlight to help.. when you cant fight, cant defend, you have to find someway to get things done, this would seem to be the Army way.. God Bless the Corps.

Nagalfar-------The army is not that bad. Look here in your own state of Utah. When the Mt.Pleasant NG was actavated and went to Iroc The good things that they had done, like bulding schools, repairing roads bulding houses and driling wells. Al of this is a very good thing. Lets keep up the good work.

Sounds like the Army has not changed from what they did in Nam.
