The American Soldier?

(Bah. They chickened out. It should've been Bush. Think of
the controversy. The outcry. The media attention placed on a
media giant.)

;) :P

"They swept across Iraq and conquered it in 21 days... "

Er... wow! That was really difficult wasn't it? A few goat
herders with sling-shots wasn't really what I'd call an
enemy.

"They stand guard on streets pot-holed with skepticism and
rancor... "

Pot-holed from cluster bombs more like! Skeptism eh? Don't
you think they have the fucking right to be skepitcal from
seeing their entire society being sold off from under their
noses. Mass redundencies. No running water or electricity.

"They caught Saddam Hussein... "

Spin! Another Jessica Lynch bullshit story. It was the
Kurdish intelligence service that received the info for
where Saddam was. All they had to do was go there and dig
him out a fucking hole. A hole that I suspect he was being
kept prisoner in and not one in which he was hiding from the
US. But that's another story.

"They are the face of America... "

The military are the face of America? Just like the military
were the face of the country in pre-war Germany, I suppose?
Fascism.

"its might and good will, in a region unused to democracy...
"

Good will?! Don't make me fucking laugh.

"The U.S. G.I. is TIME's Person of the Year"

Fuck 'em. And fuck the journalists who right such shit.
Impartial and objective to the bitter fucking end.

First Sergeant Mikel:

"Whether you know other people other Americans who believe
its right or wrong it's irrelevant to us - it's not our job
to question the commander in chief. The boss, President Bush
said go and we'll cut out own throats for President Bush.
That's the bottom line "

one of the army privates that wrote a letter to Michael
Moore:

“I would like to tell you how difficult it is to serve
under a man who was never elected. Because he is the
president and my boss, I have to be very careful as to who
and what i say about him. This also concerns me a great
deal... to limit the military's voice is to limit exactly
what America stands for... and the greater percentage of us
feel completely underpowered. He continually sets my
friends, my family, and several others in a kind of danger
that frightens me beyond belief. I know several other
soldiers who feel the same way and discuss the situation
with me on a regular basis.”


and

“I have just returned home from "Operation Iraqi
Freedom". I spent 5 months in Baghdad, and a total of 3
years in the U.S. Army. I was recently discharged with
Honorable valor and returned to the States only to be
horrified by what I've seen my country turn into. I'm now 22
years old and have discovered America is such a complicated
place to live, and moreover, Americans are almost oblivious
to what's been happening to their country. America has
become "1984." Homeland security is teaching us to spy on
one another and forcing us to become anti-social. Americans
are willingly sacrificing our freedoms in the name of
security, the same Freedoms I was willing to put my life on
the line for. The constitution is in jeopardy. As Gen. Tommy
Franks said, (broken down of course) One more terrorist
attack and the constitution will hold no meaning.”

If soldiers don't have that attitude it's pandemonium
though...

I know people live in this dreamworld where they think
everything can be democratic, but on a battlefield their is
no time to question the reason behind orders. Sure, this
leads to a few disatarous events like the charge of the
light brigade, but that's a small price to pay for an
efficient army.
