While agast with the pics of what happened in the prison in Irag. What do people think WAR is about?.
Please and thank you?.
Sorry folks, war is about killing. It's not pleasant, and it's not fun. It's not about warm fuzzies, and being politically correct.
While the News Media, and more and more DC, likes to ignore the reality of it, it's realy brings out the worst in people. Think about it, we're asking normal folks to go risk their lives, kill other folks, and watch some of their friends DIE. Why does the cruelty of what's going on exscape so many people?.
If we're going to go to war, then S---'s gonna happen. In a civilian court in say NYC, the guards, would get a hand slap becuase of the duress they were under, yet, somehow now there's all sorts of chest pounding about how cruel WE are. Sorry folks, talk to some POWs and get a gripe on what happened in WWII, Korea, and Nam to our guys. If in doubt about apeasing the enemy read about France and Germany. You have to have the total and complete desire to win, at ANY cost to win a war. making a game out of it, just gets people killed for nothing. Look at the Wall in DC, for the list of 50,000 guys that gave their lives for a political game. And now while our body count is lower, we're doing the same thing all over again.
Am I saying I endorse what they did?, Heck no, but you have to understand before passing to much judgement on them, what was going on around them. Alot of the folks in Iraq, are reservists that thought they would only be going to go to war in the event of a real emergency. And they're being asked to be cops, in an area where, their buddies are getting killed. Ask the typical American how many friends they buried in a life time, and then ask some of the troops how many firends they seen die. I'll give ya a clue, watching a mine go off, and seeing some friends turn into a red mist, is not something you want to see, and it does scare one's thought patterns.
DC ought to be flat ashamed of themselves for what they're doing. Ask them about why they cancelled the hazard duty pay for the folks over there?. WTF, is going thur their minds?. If we can't afford to pay the troops to live in Hell, then we shouldn't be over there. Not to mention the VA cuts for the guys that have spent their time in Hell.
Busch, as well as those following his lead ought to be ashamed of their selves. What we started out to do that was a noble cause has turned into a deadly circus. It's just stupid that so many Americans think that foreigners think like us. From WWII Germany, to Korean era China, to Nam, and now in Iraq, we just never really figure things out ahead of time. Not to mention that you can't rescue people that don't want to be. Have you ever tried to get an Alky to stop drinking, or a cigarette smoker to quit just on saying stop doing it "now"?. Nope ain't gonna happen, and you not going to get a nation to take up arms against their neighbors over night. Liberty is something fought for, and until the people of Iraq fully and completely want to make the sacrifices for a democracy, there will be hell to pay over there. Having the locals hide the bad guys within their community, makes it just a blood fest.
Sorry if this seems as a rant, but I get tired of the military getting slammed for the Screw-Ups in Washington. Not to mention the righteousness of the News Media, and their agenda, and slanting the reporting of the "news".
