I completely agree with you Robert, and I am not even American. There are people in this world that take up the task to defend my rights and freedoms. When they die on the battle field not only soldier has died, but a person, a son/daughter, aunt/uncle... to ruin the image of that person is just wrong on so many levels I can't even start to explain. I have nothing but respect for a soldier, no matter what the country he is from. As long as it is not a soldier of terrorism. Peter.
