I am not a combat infantryman and as such cannot fully understand the pressures and the pain faced by the men on the line in Afghanistan, and earlier in Iraq.
However, I would ask one question to those who would like to judge the Afghanistan effort and the quality of our troops based on this unspeakable atrocity.
How many tens of thousands of combat arms soldiers have gone downrange and done their duty, under similar circumstances as SSG Robert Bales and yet have NOT slaughtered 17 civilians?
