3. Why is it cowardly and unjust to think that soldiers who break laws should be sent to trial?

4. I've been to Afghanistan, have you? Not Irak though, but Iran and some other countries on the US death list.
Uhuh, I have lost a friend in Aghanistan and see whatit has done to others, these guys don't know what they are fighting for. Most of them are not well educated and do not have the chances people like me do. The situation in Iraq is beyond description its such a bloody cockup, those soldiers are as much victims as anyone else.

It is cowardly and unjust, to go after the small guys.

As for your comment on Gitmo I would prefer that it did not exist
