I don't know if this is a statement or a question or both. Unusually for you, your grammar does you a diservice I think.

To set the record straight.
I do not think all who oppose war are cowards.
I don't particularly feel devastated watching the video. As I clearly stated, these men were possibly/probably cheering when the twin towers went down. It's a war on terrorism in Afghanistan video. I don't want to get drawn into political arguments per se regarding innocent civillians and military. The dreadful fact of today is that just because someone looks like an innocent civillian doesn't mean they're not military, hence suicide bombers and the like.....I digress...

The point was that it's chilling stuff, not just in Afghanistan by the US, but in Palestine and other places all over the world and all over the years. It's something I can't comprehend, that pure ferocity. All of our forces have come under bombardment at some time in history, I pray God I never will. To see how it happens in the above mentioned example is, as I said, chilling.

On a footnote....I happen to believe the RAF are the finest airmen in the world bar none, but then I would.
