"It Sure Beats Having to Shoot Them" That was the comment from one Marine on the warm reception his group received as they made their way through Aziziyah about 50 miles southeast of Baghdad. He and his comrades were offered soft drinks, cigarettes, and the occasional flower by the town's people. I've seen similar comments in the past two weeks from American soldiers. We wish we didn't have to shoot them. We realize it's not a fair fight, and if our troops had their way we wouldn't fight. In some areas though the Iraqis just haven't figured out how badly outclassed they are, or they have figured it out, but there is some maniac asshole still loyal to a dying regime that has a gun pointed at his own men's backs commanding them to their deaths. The US forces have done an absolutely outstanding job of demonstrating through their day-to-day actions that we are indeed the good guys in this conflict. Perhaps that is the lasting legacy of VietNam: we must and we will conduct our military operations in such a manner that no one can say that we did not follow the strictest and most just guidelines for war. |
