It's official. The US military fined Maj. Harry 'Psycho' Schmidt 2 half
months pay.. (just over $ 5K) for killin' 4 Canadian soldiers. What's that
....just over $ 1250.00 per body. This of course doesn't count the
additional 8 injured...one of which lost an eye.

Killer Kowboy Schmidt thinks that's too much and is appealing the ruling.
There are some intelligent men in the military though. Lt.-General Bruce
Carlson, presiding officer at the trial, called Schmidt "arrogant" & "rash"
citing lack of flight discipline and blatant disobeying direction to hold
fire.
His "willful misconduct directly caused the most egregious consequences
imaginable". The general also cited Schmidt's "lack of integrity in not
taking responsibility for his actions" and blaming others.

That's the new liberal mindset. Never take responsibility. It's always
the fault of someone else, or some societal problem.


I realize that different cultures hold the value of human life differently,
but I will certainly be contacting my elected representative anytime there
are rumors of Canadian military joining Bush's adventures.

How are the flaws in judgement of one irresponsible soildier, a
reflection on Bush? How could Bush have prevented this soldier's
actions?
