How about examining the reasons we go to war AND when military action is required expecting our forces who represent us to conduct themselves appropriately? Perhaps if you arm young men and train them to fight, you should train them to do it right, rather than giving them guns and then letting them do whatever they want?

I fully understand that war fucks people up. I don't get angry at soldiers and marines who go a little nuts. I do think we have to make it clear that we don't condone the behavior, though.

On this the Obama administration and McCain agree, if our forces are there, they represent our country, and they are expected to conduct themselves as representatives of you and I.
