				| This is an awesome tribute to the men who fought and died there. And a telling statement about the conditions in which the current war is being fought.
 
 Iwo Jima

				| That is so accurate - it's exactly what we're being fed when we watch the news! 
 Blathery banter and pointless questions. The quippy little "sound-bite" answers trickle down to us and the important issues are lost to us because the answers don't fit into a 3½-second clip.
 
 Our insistence on shallow, insipid, personality-driven analysis just makes our losses yesterday even harder to take.

				| very good! 
 btw, this reminds me of something...
 
 surely our troops get  'breaks'  don't they?   I mean,  a few at a time
 
 can leave the shooting etc and  go for a snack or cig....
 
 isn't  the required by law for each so many hrs of work?
     
 if they don't, it must surely be a violation of some kind...
     
 any of those humanitarian  grps  checking into that???
