I am angry and incredulous! When will this madness stop? How ridiculously politically correct have we become? Who is standing up for our troops? I am writing in reference to news today that one of our brave soldiers has been charged (by Canada) with 2nd degree murder in the death of an enemy combatant. It is early and I am responding solely to radio reports and I am fully prepared to recant my feelings if future facts dictate. But at first blush I am outraged, disgusted, and ashamed of my government.

Our soldiers are already completely at a disadvantage in this disgraceful battle with enemy insurgents. We are not permitted to "fight fair"...the Canadian way. The cowardly enemy hides amongst women and children. And now this! Shame on you federal government!

I for one am 100%, unequivocally and unconditionally behind our troops who stand in harm's way. They deserve better. God bless each and every one of them.
