And right now you should feel tired because I didn\'t get a lot of sleep last night. At about 1130 this afternoon, I want you to feel hungry and immediately head to Taco Bell because you feel like a new Crunchwrap Supreme. Once you\'re done, I want you to feel full and satisfied. </p> <p>As for \"a lot of people do not have any faith in the military\'s handling of anything\" comment, maybe you should pay attention to some recent polls. Seventy-three percent of Americans polled from June 1-4, 2006, said they have a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the military, according to Gallup poll. That seems like an aweful \"lot of people\" to me. And that\'s AFTER all the Haditha and other allegations. </p> Jay, you\’re right.

Additionally, a lot of people do not have any faith in the military's handling of anything, much less a murder investigation. so when you say "Remember, a criminal inquiry into the events in Haditha is being conducted by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service" what does this mean? that we shold have confidence in the process? Many of your fellow Americans are indeed skeptical. is it not our perrogative--as Americans--to feel that way? or do we need to assume a "Rah rah rah, we're #1 and proud" kind of posturing to gain your respect? All you seem to want to do is for everyone to feel the way you do. and it's not gonna happen. well so long as the Pentagon keeps lowering recruiting standards (which effectively lets any cripple, retard, white supremacist or criminal into the militarty) these types of things will happen.

I pray that what they are saying about them isn't true. They talk about it in the MSM as if it is fact. Time will tell but I wish they would wait until the facts come out.
