Actually, my subject should have read "Collateral Damage", an expression Timothy McVeigh used to describe what he saw was justification for his heinous acts.
There are men...soldiers..... out there who are trained to kill.
And occasionally, upon seeing unjustified slaughter of innocents, flip psychologically and are unable to see the moral and ethical boundaries of the "war" they are fighting.

I was wondering how many of the soldiers who viewed the horror of the dead and maimed innocents in this Afghan village, could turn out like another Timothy McVeigh....if not for revenge, if not for a "statement", but for the sheer hopelessness/helplessness of it all.
