I got some flack here a couple of years ago when I said if these 150,000 troops were back home they'd probably still die at the same rate they are in Iraq via homicide, suicide and automobile deaths.
Good post claywilk: And how about these tuff guys. Made comments to this 14 year old girl each day when she HAD to pass their checkpoint. then one day some of them get together, rape her while shooting her family, they shoot her in the head and then burn her body in an attempt to cover it up.......Man, this is so disgusting. And we wonder why they still are not throwing flowers at the soldiers feet!! http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/11/16/18330291.php http://womensspace.wordpress.com/20...oldiers-charged-abir-hamzah-was-14-years-old/
You're right on the money. Most people would be shocked how quickly a guy can go primal, and just how long it takes to get back from that hellish state of mind.
The moonbat threads keep coming... Good grief, some GI's film themselves being assholes and suddenly all our troops over there are murdering, raping barbarians akin to what Kerry would call Genghis Khan's hordes. Grow the fuck up. There are assholes in any organization, and the military is no different. You see the worst kinds of people there, and also the best.
I could not have put it better myself. Army is not what you see on TV. Many people are bamboozled into thinking that being in the armed forces is about defending democracy, fighting for noble causes ect ect. It could not be farther from the truth. Sad but true.
He'll most likely end up hating Americans if we cut and run and leave him and his family with no security whatsoever and abandon them to the tender mercies of various militias and an all-out civil war. Oh yeah, I forgot, the "all-out civil war" is already raging and the US departing wouldn't make things worse....sorry....
ever had a gun/knife pulled on you? been jumped or mugged? near miss in a nasty car accident? if so, remember the massive adrenaline rush and fight/flight panic. you can't think straight, wired for hours afterwards. some of these guys face that daily, for *years* -- tack on that many are 20 yr. old kids, emotionally immature, and have seen their friends blown to bits, close up. everybody is an enemy, constant paranoia, sweating in 120-degree deserts for slave wages, away from their homes and family, in a job they can't quit, and the PC crowd has even tried to take away the escape of booze and women (to varying degrees, as I understand). it's easy to see how sane men would go haywire in that situation. it's a surprise that more don't. the larger share of blame rests on those that put them in that position for their own profit, and on the fools and criminals that enabled it.
The americans are training future Iraqi Olympic marathon winners!! They're "Freedom Runners" in training! The only thing missing are the "Freedom Fries" to go with the "Freedom Water"!! ROTFLMAO!!
You're one sick F**KING sh*t for brains paper trading mofo. Probably a homo like the rest of the Klan.
