service men sentnace

I suppose everybody heared about the three aservice men that were sentanccedd to life in prison for shooting prisoners that they were supposed to be delivering to the athorities.I thought the sentances were perty severe considering the circomstances.If you just came out of A fire fight and these guys probably killed some of your buddies and you got to thinking these might be some of the guys that killed the prisoners they were holdingg. choped their headsoff and threw them in the river.If we deliver them they will be housed taken care of and probably turned loose you might be tempted to apply some of your own justice. what they did was A crime and they should be punished for it. But I would consider A ten year sentance more appropiat.This is A war and these guys are under A lot of pressure. I was exposed to the same kind of situation on Boganville during world war two.A sargent and myself were assighned to deliver A jap prisoner back to headquarters.When we got part way the sargent decided we ought to shoot the prisoner.I convinced him it was A bad idea.We delivered the prisoner.I dont know what happened to him after that but at least my concionce was clear. There is still A lot of contoversy over the war in Afghanistan but I don't believe we can afford to give up the fight now. I see where the Samali pirates are still active.Spain just paid three million to get their ship and crew back.Those guys should be hunted down and blown out of the water.All ships should have armed guards with orders to shoot to kill any pirates that try to board A ship.

Last week the democrats were congratulating them selves and patting each other on the back because they had passed the health care bill in the house .But that is only the first step .It still has to be passed in the senate and there are A lot of contivercial issues still to be settled. the cost is one big issue.The last estimate I heard was one and A quarter trillion dollars . that is A lot of money that is going to have to come from some where.Obama said he wouldnt sighn any bill that was going to add to the national debt.Majoity leader Harry Ried had suggested taxing the high income peope that are making over $500000.00 to pay for the health care bill .But I am afrid there is to much big money influance in Washington to let that happen. The fort Hood shooting that killed 13 people and wounded an additianal 29 of them was A very tragic event that never should have happened.But maybe it woke some people up. I see where the government has siezed four Muslim Mosques and A thirty six story office building owned by A Muslim organization and cotrolled by the Iranian government.There are also some Muslim schools and other organzations that that should be carefuly checked. We may be raising more terrorists in our back yard. My opinion by John Zilverberg

To listento the ads on tte T.V,from the psople that want to settle your account with the I.R.S,. They make it sound like the I.R.S. is your mortal enemy.They are not they are your friend. It is up to them to collect the money to run the govwernment.Build your roads , educate your children ,Supply the military and whatever other benefits you get from the government. How many people do you think would pay their share of the taxes if there was nobody to check up on them.The I.R.S. has A big job.If you pay your taxes on time and the right amount they wont give you any trouble.Sure they can and do make mistakes ocasionaly.But if you paid your taxes and have good reords you shouldnt have any touble correcting any mistakes. If your money is being wasted by the government that isn't the fault of the I.R.S. That is the responsibility of your legislators.If you cheat on your taxes you are cheating on your neighbors because the taxes you dont pay your neighbor will have to pay.
