“Core Warrior Values” training for US troops after Haditha
U.S. military commanders in Iraq on Thursday ordered ethics training for combat troops, after accusations that Marines murdered unarmed civilians in an Iraqi town last year.The fact that the US is implementing this training after the Haditha massacre implies that (1) inadequate training was provided prior to combat; AND (2) commanding officers are NOT, as they claim, confident that 99.9% of troops know how to conduct themselves according to the rules of war.
The training over the next 30 days in "core warrior values" would highlight "the importance of adhering to legal, moral and ethical standards on the battlefield," a statement said.

The military consumes your life America and growing up and respecting this institution because of the employment it brings in industry has made you loose sight.
It was Hitler who was enamored with your great ability to effectively market products through the use of the new science of Psychology at the time.Thanks to the use of propaganda techniques using the new science of psychology; within 6 months the US public opinion was very much against the Germans. (insert Iranians for Germans today)Good old World War One is long forgotten now and the complexities of war and the improved skills of manipulation that plays on your fears has you even believing Al Zarqawi is the the incarnation of Emmanuel Goldstein.
