"President Bush has lost the respect of every soldier"
07/04/03: From a soldier's father:
"My son is in the U.S.Army and currently stationed in Baghdad. I hear from him every three or four days. He is like most of the young men and women who went to fight over there inasmuch as he was proud to go and achieve what President Bush said was necessary. I have seen his attitude take a U-turn during the last month. At first he was saying: "I wonder why we are not doing this or that to help make life better for our soldiers?" Then he started to wonder why we were not doing more to help the Iraqi people who are suffering under terrible conditions. Not enough water or food, no electricity most of the time, a terrible shortage of medical supplies and medical staff, basically they are living like animals. Then he started to worry about the safety of our troops in the area. He says they are sitting ducks and easy targets for Iraqi people bent upon gaining revenge for slain family members and by those who hold the U.S. responsible for the terrible conditions they find themselves in. Ye sterday he had a different message altogether."
"Get us out of here now! There is nothing we can do to pacify the Iraqi people except get out of their country and allow them to restore order in whatever way THEY wish."
And, allow me to give you his remarks when he was informed of President Bush's brash remarks saying "Bring them on." He said:
"Myself and every last man in my unit are deeply offended that our President would make such a statement inviting us to be attacked. President Bush has lost the respect of every soldier I have spoken to because of his speaking those irresponsible words. Those words spread like wild-fire amoung the troops.
We are here because he ordered us to be here and now for him to make such a ridiculous statement inviting violence towards us causes us to lose respect for him and his judgement. We are learning that we never should have come here in the first place.

Believe me Dad, there is a completely different attitude now. The fact that the President gave rich people a tax cut and didn't do anything for military families is hurtful. Where there was once pride and satisfaction in defeating an enemy there is now regret and shame. God Bless America.
Your loving Son, Donny

Bush is a fucking evil bitch.
I don't care who knows it. He also gave SUV owners/purchasers tax breaks as well. Why? SUVs consume the most gasoline....pure and simple. THey also pollute contribute the most to the greenhouse effect due to increased combustion of fossil fuel (gasoline).
But then again, why would Bush care? He dropped his support for the Kyoto agreement just days into his presidency, to the dismay of the rest of the world.
He's a fucking joke. The man has no soul, no compassion, and no human decency. I don't like to call people evil, but I don't hestitate to use it in his case. He has no right to bear his Christian disguise.

I find it hard to have any sympathy for the troops. I've seen a couple of documentaries recently following US troops both pre-war and during the war. Their attitude stank. Gung-ho, blood-thirsty fuckers they were. Whooping and cheering when unloading their weapons and shit like that.
As Bill Hicks said 's'cuse me, but aren't y'all just hired fucking killers!!?'
My sympathies lay with the scores of Iraqis blasted off the roads en route to Baghdad just because they were driving cars. Or those bombed in their home or while out shopping in the market etc etc.
And their low morale now shows that we'll never beat fundamentalist terrorists. Sure we may have the weapons technology, but we haven't got the will or sheer determination that drives them to strap a explosives around thier waiste or kill themselves in hijacked planes. Our troops are whinging after a "war" that lasted about three fucking minutes!

sorry kids, that line ruined it for me. The name Donny is so nice and charming too. No one forced you to sign up kid, there ain't no draft.
Do your job and tell your dad not to release your personal letters to the world.

I do feel sorry for the soldiers. I feel sorry for anyone innocent who is fed garbage from their government.
I feel sorry for those who take out the government's trash in light of touching and patriotic motivational speeches that act as cover.
