Wow! So this site is the ’hate America’ site? ...The only good American is a dead one...", etc.? So those of you who say such things can’t hate the policies, or leaders - but the all of the citizens? The US certainly has it’s problems, but damn!... obviously we can’t all get along I guess. Those of you spouting the hate are no different from the guards who abused the prisoners - you find a way to excuse your hate - just like the guards didn’t refuse an illegal order (if that’s what happened).

Man, this is depressing. If within the US we hate each other so much for having different views (none of us are the government), and if you who are not US citizens hate us, as a people, so much... how the hell will any of us ever achieve peace anywhere? The worst part of reading all of this, for me, is how angry some of the comments make me. You’re all entitled to your opinion - that’s what soldiers fight for.

So, go ahead hate (and kill?) each other. I hope to hell I don’t want to kill you because you hold a different view.
