With evidence of torture & abuse mounting.....
And this evidence is proving that these incidences are not just a few isolated events. Please give me some arguments about why we should still support the troops. How in good conscience can I support someone who does such evil things? Yes I blame Bush....but at this point, I have to find fault with our troops and the British troops on how they chose to conduct themselves.

This is not a post for flamebait. I seriously want someone to give me reasons to still support the troops.

1. How about, "they are following orders?". I hope that this war
does not get to the point where your feelings become widespread, like after Vietnam.

2. Where's the proof of following orders?
I have to say, Mai Lai and Vietnam have been going thru my mind a lot lately.

I hope it doesn't get to the point where such feelings are widespread as well......but I fear it is coming.

Bush is destroying every fucking thing we have worked for.

3. Will someone please answer?
I know this is a touchy area, but it's an ongoing sore spot between my DH and myself. I have used the following orders arguement with him before but it's not working. I am myself doubting after these latest pictures and videos.
