Yes indeed it does. It says our military isn't running around the world invading other countries, starting wars, manipulating wars, bombing countries into oblivion, and basically sport-killing men, women, and children as entertainment, target practice, or a means to blow off steam. And that unlike the military of some other nations who for the moment shall remain unnamed, Canada's military finds herself mostly in a peace-keeping capacity. Peace-keepers don't usually tally up body counts, ...that's not what peace-keepers do, ...although you wouldn't know it by watching what some nations have the audacity to try to pass off as "peace-keeping" Even sadder is that many of their citizens believe such attrocities are necessary components of "peace-keeping". Some of these war mongerers have done such a disservice to the brave & selfless members of their own militaries, it makes me wonder who they really believe the enemy to be. I mean, when the war-mongerers take someone who vowed to give their very life if necessary in order to defend their country, ...and instead put them in a position that does nothing but harm to their country, ...you really have to wonder who these war mongerers consider their enemy. 
They've strayed so far off their course, and done so so gradually, they didn't even realize they were no longer on the path. Hopefully, enough of them will figure it out and get back there. 
I cut the story short in order to answer Special Ed's question, but does go on. The thrust of the story was not necessarily about how fabulous these guys were in that they saved American lives. There was quite a bit of controversy surrounding these men. The hoopla that might have taken place in other countries, or under other circumstances did not take place. Word of their accomplishment was barely breathed. We don't glorify killing up here. We know that in times of war, some killing needs to be done, but it's not something you glorify. In addition, one of those individuals was investigated for alledgedly taking a souvenir from one of his kills. It was alledged that a finger from one of the AlQ kills was sliced off, and taken as a souvenir.
War is not healthy for humans on any side. It's dangerous to both bodies AND minds. Some countries would trumpet such an incident, and laugh & cheer at such a unique souvenir, ...but we don't glorify what war does to destroy humanity. Whether it be the humanity of the innocent men women and children who end up in the line of fire, or the military personnel doing the firing.
I suppose it's appropriate for this thread, as I'm assuming Wuterich is a man accused of wrong doing during the course of his job? Yes, No,... that is what this thread is supposed to be about isn't it? Or was the thread title just a rouse to qualify for inclusion on the political board, with the real subject being MattC's possible childhood diet or winter apparel?
Matt C. dug his own hole and from what i can see a pretty deep one at that
with this post you also must include your canadian military as well as they are a part of this war as well.
as said earlier I would like to have a CIVIL conversation with you
So please without sarcasm or taking passive aggressive shots at the U.S. plz respond
I understand where your coming from and respect your views, but do you respect others views?
"peace keeping" like many other terms can be subjective to you it may mean peace keeping in the middle east which obviosly isnt going well, to many americans though it means peace keeping for the american public which it has accomplished.
I agree the soldiers that fight for OUR countries are brave and incredible people regardless of any political spin that is thrust upon them, but there is one thing you should take into account and that is that each and every individual knew what might be asked of them when they signed on the dotted line and recieved their paychecks and the vast majority are more than willing to do so, the U.S. and most other countries have not forced any soldier to fight in this war, they agreed to when they signed up for service
that being said i would rather see everyone of our opposition killed than even have one U.S. soldier hurt in this war.
you have to understand my perspective and that is that the U.S. soldiers all over the world are my brothers and sisters, not in the biological sense but in the sense of community and as a whole. this illustrates why many americans dont care about trigger fingers of terrorist and the sad but unavoidable civilian causalties that occur as a result of this war
can you see where I am coming from?
