Who feels remorse about Iraq?
I'll not bother to link. You can find many instances of US soldiers' showing remorse for what's happening in Iraq and Afghanistan. Courts martial have resulted. Desertions have happened. Its something Americans should be proud of, knowing some troops can't take the horror and carnage.

The Blackwater story keeps growing in both the outrage it is causing and in the political importance of that outrage. It's also increasing in the amount of trouble it's causing for the State Department and the US.
We're starting to see reaction now from both sides of the argument. You'd think when an entire country was accusing your company of killing its citizens, that you'd try to show some humility or even remorse. But not our Blackwater, nope. [emphasis mine]
These are people who've seen war. Apparently they liked war and decided to engage in it again. For some reason, I can't understand this. To fight to protect home, family, country out of patriotism is one thing, but to fight just for a paycheck is sick. Killing people for a living just doesn't fit into my lifestyle.
When you hire pit bulls to work for you, you have to expect some vicious attacks.
Admittedly, I've already judged Blackwater and could never serve as a juror for any one of them.
