I hardly think that our actions in prosecuting the war on terror could be considered to be cowardly -- especially when compared with some of the atrocious things done by our enemy, radical Islamists. That's sort of a blame America first mentality to some degree. And the followers of radical Islam use our decency and our desire to be humane against us -- it's one of their biggest weapons. For example, terrorists hiding amongst civilians so as to avoid being targeted as well as hiding weapons in mosques and hospitals to avoid discovery -- knowing full well American forces will respect the very places they themselves have no respect for.
I don't disagree that Americans are better than these people and we should not sink to their level; however, if we don't start adjusting to their monstrous actions by doing away with some of our political correctness we're going to be in more trouble than we are now.
