Show me a single topic in the past 15 years where I
ever attacked the simple soldiers or armed forces (if they were not the photographers of the Abu Graibh scandal pictures) for being "bad" people or "inapt" soldiers. You will not find such a topic by me.
I go after American politics and politicians like I go after German and European politicians and poltics, yes. I have attacked the political leaders of the defence sector, yes, the defence ministry, the bureaucracy and economic corruption behind it, yes.
The only thing I repeatedly questioned regarding the soldiers, was the naivety of many young men willing to serve regarding the political motives of those politicians by which they allow to be be commanded, the belief that one could indeed contribute to nation building in Iraq or Afghanistan, and I once had a long debate about the infiltration of American armed forces by Christian fundamentalism, because at that time there were several news stories and TV documentaries on this issue. The debate was a hot one, I remember.
