The nearly 75% of us who know this occupation is bullshit need to stop sucking off the troops. They get enough action raping female soldiers and sodomizing Iraqi/Afghani detainees. The political left is intent on “supporting” the troops by bringing them home, which is a good thing. But after rightly denouncing and condemning this awful war, relatively sensible, seemingly inteligent people turn around and lovingly praise the soldiers’ brave service to the country. Why?

What service are they providing? I don’t remember ordering 1,000,000 dead Iraqis. Our soldiers are not providing a service to the country, they’re providing a service to oil companies. When a mafia greasball orders a hit, is the assassin absolved of personal responsibility when it’s carried out? Of course not. What if the hit man was fooled into service? We’d all say, “Tough shit, you dumb guinea,” then lock him up and throw away the key.


Now thats my opinion
