[QUOTE="nines_rodriguez, post: 3273415, member: 150958"] Did I ever say once that the man was right in what he did though? I really don't recall that. You want me to say he was wrong? No problem... he was wrong. The difference between me and many people in here and in the world in general is that I don't have an issue admitting that i'm wrong. Being wrong is part of learning no? What I said was that he might have had the mentality of "the hundred that died, so that the thousand may live". Our government has had this thought all through history. Sometimes they were more right and sometimes more wrong. I say more because in many things you do, or comments you speak, you are often going to be a little wrong or a little right. You were a soldier.. you have seen and done things i'm sure that still haunt you, maybe you feel guilty about, maybe you feel proud of. I'm in absolutely NO position to say you did this so you were wrong. Only you could answer that for yourself. However, you were a soldier and as much as you and I may disagree I very much respect what you have done because it is people such as yourself who allow both sides to speak about what they believe. If no such people existed... well... I guess we'd all be speaking either German or Japanese by now perhaps. [/QUOTE]
