do you seriously expect army to be effective by being a mr. nice guy in a region where, as mohamad omar says, "Our educated, well-to-do relatives and neighbours were spewing venom 24-hours a day and we were mute spectators either mute in agreement or mute in abject fear but mute nonetheless". my take: don't blame those who put their lives on line for your freedom; and if you must pick up arms and jack nicholson says in that movie " a few good men" "defend your own self".
