CITIZEN SOLDIERS: AN ARMY LIKE NO OTHER
"During WWII, when soldiers from any other army, even our allies, entered a town, the people hid in the cellars. When Americans came in, even into German towns, it meant smiles, chocolate bars and C-rations. Ours has always been an army like no other, because our soldiers reflect a society unlike any other. We have been known for having compassion on civilians and even defeated enemies." Band Of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose
Unlike the Army in World War II--Abuse of prisoners in Iraq is a direct result of unsupervised and untrained soldiers who should never have been put in that position. There is no leadership and we are still waiting for the leadership in the Army to take responsibility.

VIETVET WEBZINE HIGHLIGHT: DVD REVIEWS
Strange movie. About a woman who is either a free-spirit or has severe manic depression. Town influence. You decide if worth seeing. Not what you expect. 
A 2nd Lieutenant tells what it is really like for him in Iraq. It's a story that many of us who have seen tours of combat in other wars could have written and seems to prove that war and soldiers don't change a lot over time. This is a series so keep checking a new paragraph will be added each day.
