Reply #33: Okay. I blame Bush and Congress overall...

..BUT I blame the individual troops that are inflicting these crimes upon civilians, too. My brother was in the Navy at the end of Vietnam. He was trained to be a gunner... now, he would have done what he was told, as far as completing his duties.. BUT he would not have gone off the deep end in brutality, as some of these individuals have. It's part their OWN personality and choices. Most times these crimes occur when there are just a few soldiers around.. and it's just thug mentality. The same mentality that pushes people to kill and attack people of the Muslim faith here in the U.S.

I blame Bush for getting us into this.. but no one gets a free pass for committing brutal acts against the civilians.. I don't care WHO sent them there.
