@Dickdogfood: I would agree that neoconservatives really believe what they say they do, save the realists who cloak themselves in thinktank anonimity. Still, my point is that, even with "designer wars" bought on credit as Operation Save Them Iraqis was, that very act of combat is dire, ugly, and awful. To try to mitigate that is a very limited step to take. It's like those international war laws that ban dumdum bullets. As re: this poor newb flinging a puppy to its death, it's naughty all right, but it's an internal disciplinary matter for the higher-ups.
