Make no mistake, though, soldiers are in no more danger of kidnapping than they were before. This is 'propganda' and you
will hear it over and over this month on TV. Soldiers in the theater are in DAILY risk of death, dismemberment, torture and yes,
kidnapping. Is that last one worse than the FIRST ONE? I will let combat veterans make their own assessment of his whole story.
But don't throw gravy on that biscuit by saying it is worse for soldiers now. Its just not true. The object of war for the fighting man
is now and has ever been to keep ALL contact with the enemy down to your round contacting his head. To get close enough to be
taken in any form, with nothing left to throw at him but your gun, is not the place you want to be. Period.
