Hmm, well since you're not talking about Scandium you must mean Subman and myself being as how we're the only two who've taken the time to reply to this thread. Well you may not believe it but I do support the troops Joe. If it were up to me not one US (or Canadian or British) soldier would ever be forced to don a blue helmet ever again.
But seeing as how you seem to be looking for a fight, answer me this. Scenes like the picture below have existed long before this latest ME conflagration. Why did your government allow it to continue? Why did your government allow/force it's soldiers into this situation? It looks to me like the UN and Hezbollah share a bunker. Is this a wrong assumption? Then why do their flags fly side by side?
All i know is what i read and hear on the news:

Canadian killed from UN force complained his position shielding Hizbullah
Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 26 July 2006
"...the tragic loss of a soldier yesterday who I happen to know and I think probably is from my Regiment. We've received e-mails from him a few days ago and he described the fact that he was taking within - in one case - three meters of his position "for tactical necessity - not being targeted". Now that's veiled speech in the military and what he was telling us was Hizbullah fighters were all over his position and the IDF were targeting them and that's a favorite trick by people who don't have representation in the UN. They use the UN as shields knowing that they can't be punished for it."
