Iraq is a giant mess, there's no denying it. And I am ashamed for the behaviour of US soldiers. Not all, but some. But talking to Jeff reminded me of how I act on my job, the things we say and do which the general public would be so shocked about. And it's all coping mechanisms or destressing. (I'm an EMT, by the way.)
Is killing innocent civilians a coping mechanism or destressor? Hell no. But no 20 year old should see his buddies fall down beside him in combat either. None of this kids (let's face it, they are) should be there, especially those are who are dying for a country that has not granted them citizenship yet.

What?
