WTF.
If I get banned for this, I don't really care.
You are a worthless piece of trash. It's little worms like you that really make me question my oath to protect
all the citizens of America. I can pretty much guaruntee that if I ever catch you in the real world, I'll 'escort' you to the nearest military installation; there you will be indoctrinated by a couple of soldiers/marines on what it really means to SERVE.
You had better pray to whatever God it is that you pray to, that we do not go to War with Iran (read Russia and China). Because if we do, I guaruntee there will be a draft enacted; largely do to the fact that little girls like you are to busy wetting your bed at night to join. I don't remember the Marine Corps, or the US Army declaring War on Iraq...no, I'm pretty sure the President and his cronies took care of that detail. You have
NO idea of what really happened there, other than what the news wants you to know.
I remember being in a tent in the desert watching FOX News on satellite; they were standing somewhere in our base camp telling the world that we were under attack. I looked at the guy sitting next to me, and asked him if he thought we should run and hide because FOX says that we're under attack (sarcastically). Someone was clearing their weapon in a barrel (like you're supposed to do when entering any camp) and a round went off. Big deal.
I hear things like this all the time from people who don't know what they're talking about. Sure things like this happen in War, and it's sad and wrong. But until you know what it's like to ride around in a convoy nearly everyday through towns like Nasyria, never knowing if that lump of trash up ahead is a bomb or not, or if there's a sniper in one of those MANY windows in the town you're getting ready to pass through for the 100th time.....then you need to keep your mouth
shut.
I heard the same people get all over the Marine who shot and killed a 'wounded' insurgent in a mosque. Everybody was wondering how an American Marine could shoot and kill an unarmed man. What no one on the news was pushing, was the fact that a friend of his was blown up just days prior by a booby trapped "wounded" insurgent; and the Marine himself had been shot in the face a day earlier. So yeah, I think he was a bit on edge.
You don't hear much about the the American Servicemember who are on their 3rd, 4th, or 5th tour in Iraq/Afghanistan. That'll start to wear on
anybody, not to mention fraying the ends of sanity for the family left back home. I never hear much about the torture of our own people on the news at all...go figure. There are bodies of dead soldiers/marines arriving in the
cargo hold of civilian airlines....that's not showing respect.
The U.S. Military does
not declare War...if you want to blame somebody, blame your elected officials. I sincerley hope that in the unfortunate event of another terrorist attack.....that you are right in the middle of it.
