I thought I’d seen and read it all. I thought I knew the levels to which the patriotic cowards in this country would sink. I was wrong.

Disenchanted soldiers stationed in Iraq have been speaking their minds more freely lately. Or it could be they always have been and people are just now starting to take notice. I am inclined to believe the latter. Soldiers always complain. That’s just what they do. If soldiers aren’t complaining about something, there is something terribly wrong.

“If Donald Rumsfeld was here, I’d ask him for his resignation.”

So says one soldier. Another has this to say:

“I used to want to help these people, but now I don’t really care about them anymore. I’ve seen so much, you know, little kids throwing rocks at you. Once you pacify an area, it seems like the area you just came from turns bad again. I’d like this country to be all right, but I don’t care anymore.”

And what is the response of the “WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS” gang? Some recent letters to Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report had this to say:

I think those so-called soldiers should be thrown into prison. Don’t they realize that they are GI’s, Government Issue(property)? when I joined the reserves in 83′ my recruiter made that very clear to me, that I belonged to the Army, not to myself. When you join the service you do it for one thing, to serve your country, not to go overseas and ridicule your commanders.

What those soldiers said on TV counts as insubordination and is punishable under military law. These soldiers need to realize that they live under military law which is not as understanding as civilian law.

Those so called soldiers disgrace the United States military and should be punished and summarily dishonorably discharged.

What a shame. Shame on you cry babies. You call yourselves men. Just start calling youselves French.
Sid

I have no freaking idea what this guy is talking about. I served in the Regular Army for more than 11 years and not once considered myself or my soldiers as pieces of property. The fact that Sid identified himself as nothing more than chattel speaks volumes.

Here’s another one

It seems to me that we should send those soldiers home…To France. I’ve been over there numerous times. It’s dangerous, hot dirty but they are supposed to be the best fighting force in the world and should act like it. Just my opinion.
Peg

Ok, come on. You would think that after 6 months, people would be able to think of something a little more original than the old “go home to France” stand by. It’s like when my friends are ribbing me about his or that and it inevitably comes to the “Oh yeah, at least I have hair, baldy”. Oh, good one! How long did it take to think of that gem?

Peg is obviously the victim of some malady that effects the imagination. Then, of course, most cowards are.

But wait, here is my absolute favorite:

I agree with your other e-mailer Jean, 100%. You know that the media has sought out a few whiney[sic] soliders[sic] in their ongoing effort to undermine our President as he leads this nation in its fight for survival against the terrorists who want to KILL us. The left is so busy being what they think is cute and au courrant that they have forgotten 9/11 and the 8 years of repeated attacks against Americans during the ineffectual tenure of Bill Clinton.

You follow the logic here? It’s all the liberals fault! Obviously, only the conservatives, REAL AMERICANS ALL, feel pain and anguish over the attacks on 9/11. The liberals? Ha! Any claim of emotion from them is only further proof of their treasonous ways. Since we, the conservatives, are the only party who supported this war, we are the only ones allowed to remember that fateful day in September.

While I’m certainly no great fan of the Democrats, being a Libertarian myself, I have to rally to their defense on this one. Jessica, it’s sad really. My advice; Stop masturbating to Ann Coulter’s prose long enough to educate yourself. No credible link between Saddam Hussein and Al-Queda has ever been found. Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. Your so called ‘war of survival’ is a systematic process of enslaving the American people. Make no mistake Jessica. Your patriotic drivel will not save you in the end. You, along with your fellow citizens, will all be subjugated.

Anyway, now we finally see the true face of the hard core War Party members.

They let us know at every posible moment just how much they ‘support our troops’. In fact, they practically fall over each other relaying that information to you. Now it’s evident that support only goes so far. If the ‘troops’ start get uppity, well, they’ll support those French loving faggots right into a prison cell.
