Destroyed Image

Just finished watching 'Tears of The Sun' again. The movie stars Bruce Willis as a US Navy Lt. who leads a team of Navy Seals on a rescue mission in Nigeria. Caught between the chain of command, responsibility for his men's lives, and making a right choice - it is a good flick. The thing that really hit home however was the realization that the portrayal of the American soldier - their sense of duty, honor, integrity, and morality is now shattered by the prisoner abuse scandals at Guantanamo, Afghanistan, and Abu Ghraib.

The Bushies have destroyed what our fathers fought for. It will take decades and $ billions to attain that respect once more. The saddest thing is - they have no shame for doing it.
