I read a news article today. It really pisses me off when people that don't understand what the hell is going on shoot off their mouths for the sole purpose of stirring up shit.

"A secretly taken picture of an American soldier frisking an Afghan child has shocked human rights campaigners across the world.

The picture was given to Aljazeera.net by the Islamic Observation Centre to highlight the plight of children in Afghanistan.

It will now be shown to delegates and discussed at the Washington Conference on Civil Liberties in America on Saturday, 25 October.

Taken by a strategically placed camera, and using a telephoto lens, the undercover photographer snapped a four-year-old child having his clothing searched by a heavily armed US soldier."

I have a story that will never make the news. My uncle used to tell me about things he had to go through in Viet Nam. He had to do some pretty terrible things that messed him up for life. Over there during that conflict, he didn't have the luxury of frisking kids. He had to SHOOT them right away, because if you got close enough for that you were history. He always had a bewildered look on his face when he told me about it, he could not understand how these people could strap explosives to their children and tell them to go play with the soldiers. It would bring tears to his eyes talking about it, because he would have no alternative but to shoot them while they were far enough away to keep from getting hurt himself.

No, they won't tell you about that in the news. I think the soldiers are crazy for searching them. If they are close enough to be frisked, they are close enough to kill. And my uncle? I have two that served in Viet Nam. Had two that is. The things they endured over there finally got the best of them, and they literally drank themselves to death.
