To be stingy in love is unforgiveable

I'd like to stick my nose in at this point. While I underestand both viewpoints, I am most sorry for the youngsters who were fooled or betrayed by the system and will suffer for this war, because every one of them who is normal will suffer, mental or physical destruction.or both. The more sesnsitive and intelligent will be hit hardest, because sooner probably rather than later they will recall and the nightmares and they will live with and the admission inside themselves what they did when they followed orders. when they come out of whatever allowed them to follow they will relive the rapes, the children they have blinded and the screams of their victims, because they have done it. Some I knew have killed themselves. Some acted under the influence of drugs. Some could not have done it without. I have discussed this with physicians and they state,"There will not be enough of us trained to help them." That they should have refused to commit such crimes is true, but we are human and some of us are stronger than others. And this is what my friend Todd's "rant" is about. He is one of those who are sensitive and brilliant. And he is right, no one is required to obey orders given by boots trained in The School of the Americas. And in the wars of my youth this fact was read to every recruit.. These orders and refusals account for the thousands who have gone AWOL. We all need to offer each of those who are hurting whatever support we can even is it is only sympathy and understanding. Love is the only medicine most of us have to give. To be stingy with that is unforgivable. Dr. Emily Horswill

Dear Mr Boyle:
Nobody else has responded to your rant, so I guess it's up to me, as I also log off of this "counter recruitment" network. I happen to be a Vet sir, (Vietnam 1965-1966) and do not regret one minute of my time served, nor do I find myself capable of tolerating your hatred of the troops, past, present,or those that most assuredly will come in the future.

You said hatred. What you need to do is pay attention to what I actually said: I disapprove of their behavior.
I strongly disapprove of it.
