There are all sorts of stories; about mistreatment of non combatants out there, a few may have some truth, but most are just hot air!!

 I served in the US Navy; have had boots on the ground, in seven different Islamic Mideast countries...  I have heard the bullets wiz over my head, and I have seen men killed...  It is easy to talk and write about things you are not familiar with... 

Let me suggest that you check out my web site @www.simplytruth.com and go to www.mudvillegazzett.com among others and you will see part of the real story which is not on CNN or some other propaganda machine... 

BTW:{Will have more up to date coverage on web site about the Mideast shortly; stay tuned!}

Thank you for your time and efforts to try to understand the whole truth!!
