Like the Patriot issue, this is another thread that has turned into a predominantly UK-US slanging match. So what if different cultures have different methods of motivating their troops? So what if US troops seemed excessive in their response to the "end" of an extremely tense and frightening stand-off?
Let's not forget that these guys are out there, risking their lives as we sit pontificating about the niceties of their PC, or non-PC, responses. Let's show a little compassion for our troops as well as the Iraqis. Like many others, my war's being fought from a long way off.
Most importantly, let's not forget that we're in this together.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but some of these posts are a disgrace.
