You think these guys take the Iraqis out for dinner and a movie. Be realistic, the US soldiers as well as soldiers around the world commit acts of murder.

I'm saying exactly that. Am I trying to convince you that no U.S. soldier has ever murdered anyone at anytime? Of course not. I do, however, take personal exception and offense that this is a "usual occurrence."
Don't tell me you're one of the simple who consider every death in war to be murder? Would you consider every U.S. soldier killed to also be murdured?

yes, it's quite uncommon for people not to be completely serious and truthful on the internet.

we're there for our own well-being, i'll grant you that. even so, that doesn't mean they won't benefit in the long run from it.
nope, the next thing i'm going to tell you is that you owe a million people a very sincere apology.
