shoe throwing part two

Wow I've never seen a grenade the size of a shoe before or maybe the guy had a tiny foot. The American military services allow anyone in and that shouldn't be the case. Did you know there are tons of gang members in military? And, also white hate groups? And the attorny general here wanted to have it so gang members and hate groups couldn't get into the military and the conservatives were cry babies about it. It's an invasion of rights and privacy. Yet, all the military is doing is teaching these groups how to be better killers.

This reminds me of the disgusting people during the Viet Nam war who harassed and spit on our soldiers when they came hoe calling them "baby killers" and such. People SO QUICK to judge the military in the WORST possible light without ever considering any other alternative other than the soldiers must be "wrong". Disgusting. They are in a WAR ZONE in a part of the world where people ROUTINELY hide bombs in all kinds of stuff, including children, and soldiers who deal with these homicidal nutjobs DAILY see a guy throw something at them. I'd have shot him too! And here's what you neglect to inform people in your OP, they DID NOT KILL the guy, only wounded him, and then the SOLDIERS administered first aid to him! Not exactly the blood thirsty killers people want to beleive our soldiers are now are they? The shoe thrower was an idiot for thinking he could just send things flying at armed people in a WAR ZONE who are routinely the target of bomb attack and have nothing happen.

who ever threw that shoe should have not done that in the first place. knowing that people react violently now specially at the times we are in. though i don't approve of what the soldiers did but people should not risk themselves to situation like this.

The Iraqi man isn't the first person that has been shot at by troops nor the last. Since when has there been any real investigation? When the whole war first started the entire country was raided and people were killed by the 100's and all that happened was.. Wow.. that's awful.. they ought to stop.. Yea made a difference. It isn't usual, it should never be considered a norm for people to be shot on a whim. (shot, beat, murdered, etc...) War has desensitized most people and that is sad. A while back i posted a discussion about the massacre that went on in Gaza (Palestine)... one of the responses i got was basically big deal get over it. It is odd how these sort of things are mentioned and people simply think it isnt a big deal since it was one guy... will the one guy was someone's son, father, uncle, or husband Think about it.

I don't know how to answer the question. However, I've read dubious things about our troops. Some of the stories I've read about them have been beyond sick and makes me feel ashamed of being an American. I will post a link from a story I read earlier this month. warning graphic material: http://gawker.com/5350465/our-embassy-in-afghanistan-is-guarded-by-sexually-confused-frat-boys/gallery/
