Do you ever just want to SCREAM because no matter we do in the war and how many good things we have accomplished - the liberals take the side of the terroists?

...for their outrages? The terrorists fire a few missiles or guns, then run away and let the civilians, most of whom are too afraid to run away, get killed. Is this manly? Is this how the brave Muslim fighters show how courageous they are? Why don't these cowards come out and fight like men? We see how brave they are when they force innocent people to act as shields. I say they should wear dresses and hoods if they want to act like women!

It may seem like they aren't because they've done very little to overtly show it off, but paradoxically I think that's main reason why they are.

Martin Sheen played a gruff Special Forces guy in 'Apocalypse Now'; Sean Penn played a soldier in 'Casualties of War.' Tim Robbins played a fighter pilot ("Merlin") in 'Top Gun'. Danny Glover played soldiers in 'Operation Dumbo Drop', 'Flight of the Intruder' and 'Bat 21'.

....... these guys and their Hollyweird friends love to protest against war, yet they've gotten rich from glorified portrayals of war in film and tv.Hollywood in general is the biggest anti-war voice out there, but watch how many Iraq War movies they start pumping out in the years to come. They're no better than Halliburton when it comes to profiting off of war.

They are the underdog but they are kicking butt all over the place. And they do it for a good cause. They are protecting Iraq against the USA. If we were invaded we'd also fight just like the insurgents. I say be nice to the insurgents because when they beat the USA we will have to deal with them just like we now deal with the new Government of Vietnam. At one time we were fighting Vietnam and now we are friends with them. Same with Iraq........We will one day be good friends with the people who beat our butts.

"Sixty percent of Americans oppose the war in Iraq. The latest polling of Iraqis indicate that 80 percent want the U.S. to leave and a majority believes that Iraq will be more stable without the presence of U.S. troops. Many intelligence reports indicate that the war in Iraq has radicalized more European Muslims and strengthened terrorist recruitment efforts throughout the world. And yet given these facts, the Bush Administration refuses to consider a policy aimed at a timely and responsible disengagement of our military from Iraq. Instead they insist on staying a course with no end in site. They insist on staying a course that has been riddled with catastrophic mistakes. They insist on staying a course that is costing the American taxpayer 8 billion dollars a month. They insist on staying a course that is counterproductive in our efforts to eradicate terrorism. They insist on staying a course where the death tolls are increasing by the day, one that has taken the lives of over 2,600 of our own and is now claiming the lives of 100 Iraqis per day.
Compare this against the backdrop of the war in Lebanon. The United States and virtually all other members of the United Nations Security Council continue to push for an end to the war between Israel and Hezbollah. The lead taken by the United States to end the violence and to stop the loss of innocent lives has been applauded. The Bush Administration is moving with speed and deliberation to end the one war, but not the other. Those who speak of ending the war in Lebanon, to stop the loss of more lives, are seen as skillful diplomats. Yet those who dare speak about ending the war in Iraq are labeled by Bush's henchmen as unpatriotic defeatists. The American public opposes the war in Iraq. The Iraqi population opposes an open ended occupation of their country. The International community opposes the war the Iraq. So, why the dichotomy of the two wars?"

here are some. Give some more.
1. Yesterday sucked, today sucked, tomorrow is going to suck, and this seems to be a pretty solid forecast for the rest of my enlistment.

2. Spending 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year training for something that there is a 99.9% chance that we will never do.

3. WWWDWOA? (what would we do without acronyms?)

4. Taking simple daily tasks and breaking them down into nuclear physics before doing them.

5. Having to attend a brief prior to carrying out any task more complicated than picking my nose.

6. Being a personal servant (that's basically all I am) to any one of the 300 thousand people in the military who out-rank me.

7. Being an adult and having somebody inspect me everyday to make sure I put my clothes on properly, and put my shoes on the right feet.

I follow the news in Iraq closely, and have been very upset by two incidents in particular: the events at Haditha and the rape/murder of a young Iraqi girl and her family. I realize this is a war and it's far from pretty out there. As an American I am trying to understand what is pushing our men to commit such atrocious acts? Yes, there's the 'few bad apples' theory, but can a good apple be turned bad? I can only imagine the stress our troops are under in such a war zone. What I want to know is: what are our soldiers thinking about this war right now?

I am sick of hearing our disconnected politicians pontificate about this war, and want to seek the truth. I am very interested in knowing more from our soldiers' point of view - serious thoughts/answers only, please.
