    The fact that those insurgents were defeated by women should really frost them. If I were the US Army, I would play up that fact BIG TIME.

      this isn't about your idiotic politics. it's about a man whose courageous actions richly deserve recognition.

        While I don't agree with the war, Beharry certainly deserves the VC. For a fuller account of the two actions for which he received the medal, see

          If you feel like that, then the natural connection is that you should send support to the insurgents. Mail them some chow packages and some info on our troop deployments.

            Saving soldiers is a war crime?

                Are you cheering for the opposition, then?

                        If you Yanks didn't poke your dumb arse in Iraq, there wouldn't be an opposition to begin with.

                          What does that have to do with the valour of a single Tommie who went above and beyond in his duties?

                          Do you think he gets a choice about where he is deployed?

                              It's a yes or no question. Natural extension of your argument that we shouldn't cheer for the Yanks/Brits, since they butted in. Then why not cheer for the resistance if you feel that way?
