Why, I am far from blaming Joe Sixpacks for what he sees his

not really on purpose, others would have killed even more if they had
bigger bombs" does not really qualify for moral high ground... :-)

Yes, for every aggressor a fifth column and a collaborationist party
is always there, ready to serve. But this is by no means an exclusive
privilege of the US armed forces...
