Grief, she's not alone, this was most certainly not the fault of the soldiers. I've met some very nice (and no nasty), intelligent, informed, reasonable serving US soldiers online.

In fact, I believe all of the ranting US extreme right wingers who are so visible online have nothing to do with the soldiers (or probably anyone else who helps others or tries to). If they did, they'd realise how many shades of grey there are in reality and be far less annoying! Those who do or have served or have relatives who have served tend to be far more clued into what's actually happening!

Still against this Iraq war though *wink* (not 'a Iraq war' and not overthrowing Saddam per se at all, just the timing... understandable but... let's just say too many side effects.)
