So we have about 130,000 troops there. We doubtless will have bad
leadership, etc. That does not make US forces scum.  Some yes, absolutely.

Using your broad brush I'd say the English are total scum. Look at your
history, even recent history . How about the subway rider murdered last
year.

I have NO problems with punishment of anyone involved in criminal activity
and if the current allegations are true then those forces AND their
leadership should be punished.

I'm beginning to understand Gary W's viewpoint of you. You do seem to enjoy
overstating anything anti American.
