I recall that more American soldiers died in the Civil War than the total of all other conflicts since. ie. Mexican, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf and probably a few small ones I don't know about.
It would seem you don't need technology or weapons of mass destruction to wipe people out in droves!
P.S. I doubt anyone is actually "having a go" at the forces in the M.E. It's a matter of frustration. It needs to be vented. After all aren't we talking about venting by way of protest, and most are agreeing that it's a right.
Don't deny ourselves a harmless outlet while we make excuses for those who may not be so harmless. We have as much right to vent as the protesters do.
All we have to do is show them our strength, unity and friendship by not allowing it to become personal, and minding each others feelings.
In closing, there will always be mistakes wherever there are humans. But we are allowed to be upset about it and talk about it, without "pointing the bone".
