Screw Political Correctness...

Capt Dave,
You mentioned a topic that has really become sore spot for me...
It really grates on my nerves when the media, every damned one of them, come off with their daily statistics on who and how many got killed or injured.
HELLO! That's the very nature of WAR!! As far as our casualties go, for the time that we've been in Iraq, there have only been a fraction of deaths and injuries compared to all of the previous wars.
The other thing that really galls me is all of the whimpering left wing political correctness that not only gets applied to our situation in Iraq, but through the very fabric of our "modern" society.
If jerkoffs like Abu Musab al-Zarqawi want to hide behind women and children, OK, so be it. If he wants to hide within his mosque, OK, so be it. Collateral damage is another fact of war... I hate to see innocent by standers or religious shrines get leveled for no reason or by accident, but they shouldn't be a viable hiding spot for a terrorist.
I see no difference in not waffling to the demands of the terrorists when they threaten to, and do, behead a kidnaped prisoner, and mowing down anyone or thing between the business end of a 50 cal & some schmuck like al-Zarqawi.
The longer these types live the more deaths there will be. How many lives have to lost before we get a clean "politically correct" shot? Certainly more than the next "collateral damage" opportunity will be...
Sorry, Collateral Damage, but freedom AIN'T FREE!
Br,
Patrick
