[Vision2020] Iraq's My Lai Massacre

[Matt Decker]

All,

What gets me is that Mr. Gier strategically used the words Iraqs Muy Lai 
Massacre. This has no resemblence of that atrocity. These Marines have not 
yet been convicted but yet Mr. Gier and others feel that it is true. Perhaps 
it is, we don't know yet. Point being lets hope not instead of rooting 
against our boys, all for your political gain.

We all know what a mess it is over there. What we don't know is what 
decisions these fine young troops are doing on a daily basis. Maybe just 
maybe they saw something more than us arm chair generals did. Benefit of the 
doubt should go to the unsure, right Sunil?
