I am sure you will provide the stats to back up this statement. Stats that show the crimes commmitted by US Soldiers in these areas were above the norm for the countries own population. You wouldn't just make a blanket statement about American Soldiers. |

So if you want to take that stance it's fine...just remember...that stance has further implications than the defense of just one presidency. You can't claim that america lives up to it's creed and back that statement at teh same time...so diamond..which is it??? |

that's all well and fine...but there's a difference between being an armchair quarterback..and wanting the government to be accountable for it's actions....don't confuse teh two..it's apples and oranges...although...the possibility of a orpple has intrigues me for sometime |

![]() Yes I was raised by parents who have voted almost exclusively for the Democratic party. I, however, do not feel that I am simply blindly following them. I have studied the policies of both parties and I have chosen to objectively align myself with the one whose views I feel most represent mine. Is that any different from what you're doing? Sure I find things to praise about the Republican party, and things to criticize about the Democratic party. But I am much more likely to find myself agreeing with the Democrats. And I'm pretty sure I never said I voted for Clinton. Of course that is only because, yes, I was only 15 during the elections of 1996. If I seem all riled up, well just blame the general lack of sleep. ![]() |

The stats, however, have nothing to with the general consensus, which is still greatly negative towards American servicemen. Anytime a soldier commits a violent crime, it tends to be a top news story over there, which lends to the idea that American servicemen are not to be trusted. I'm sorry that I don't have access to polls of the general population in those countries, but I do have the opinions of quite a few people here, including Americans who lived in Japan. The point of my post was to say that while American soldiers were not well-received during the Carter administration, very little has changed between then and now. I have nothing but respect for our soldiers who go abroad to protect other countries. |

Now without attempting to put words into Diamonds mouth, the United States Military during the Reagan years and the Bush years had once again, re-established its "honor" at least here at home. Peace to all. |

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The morning jogs, the rolling hills.....The pleasant wake-up calls. I had a pleasant week in Mobile, providing port security during the tail end of Desert Storm. Although, the hotel was nice, Ft.McLellan was so much more like home. HEHEHEH |
