Interested in a soldier in Iraq? Interested in his point of view?

Question

Do pro-war people even support the troops that are against the war
Memorandum for Record: Military Spending Concerns

FROM: SPC Freeman, Milo; US Army, Iraq

TO: Senate Democrats, Republicans, and "American Idol" viewers across the nation.

1. You. Punk. ***. Pantywaisted. Bitches.

2. You had a chance. You could have put your money where your mouth is--could have put some *** behind all those claims of "favoring an end to war."

3. And you ******* choked.

4. Let me explain something to you. Your children; your spouses; your lovers and friends and parents and CONSTITUENTS are hostages to this war. They're dying for a conflict with no concrete objective. They're losing marriages and childhood moments to a neverending cycle of extended tours. Their equipment, their morale, is stretched thin. And some of them--those of us smart enough not to buy the ******* hype--were counting on you to find your ******* testicles and put an end to this ****. We were counting on you to save us from ourselves; to find a way to put us to use serving our country in ways perhaps more effective in rebuilding our nation.

5. And you. *******. Choked.

6. I haven't gotten a current edition of the paper in months. It's always a day behind. I don't get to check the news--I barely have the time. So what am I to think when I read yesterday's Stars and Stripes, and hear about this ****? Is that supposed to tell me that my leaders, my countrymen give a flying **** about what happens to me or my wife? Is that the message I'm supposed to glean from this STUNNING lack of cojones? Because I gotta tell you, America, I'm not seeing it.

7. I'm so sick of hearing this wretched war talked about in terms of Victory or Defeat. "If we leave, the terrorists will win."

8. **** that.

9. Today it's Terrorists. Yesterday it was Blacks/Gays/Jews/Hippies. Before that it was Communists. Before that, it was Uppity Colonials with Secondhand Muskets and Pitchforks. It's always ******* something with you people, isn't it?

10.You just need your little wars to feel good about yourselves, don't you? Something to make you feel threatened; something to make you feel heroic; ANYTHING to make you feel like your pathetic lives are more than just you against the Big, Black, Scary Infinite. Well, obviously, it's working.

11. You don't magically "win" an occupation. It's an inevitable bleed-out. We're stuck in a situation beyond our powers to fix, in a country that WE voted to destroy, whose history and people we neither understand nor care to try. We bought the hype, hook-line-and-sinker.

12. **** Victory. **** Defeat. Any way you slice it, This. War. Is. Wrong.

13.You don't keep trying to win the game after it turns out you bribed the refs. You fire the coaches and/or players responsible, and you hand over the Title. You take your lumps like a ******* man and try to rebuild. Accept it.

13. Hope you're happy, America. Clutch your pearls about all those dirty liberals who voted against the proposal ("They didn't Support The Troops!"). Whine about all the evil elderly schoolteachers and librarians protesting the war on a Saturday morning outside your courthouse.

14. But when your son or daughter or spouse or first lay comes home airfreight, mangled into a closed-casket service by a daisy-chain of 155s buried under Route Tampa, remember this:

15. It won't be the dirty liberals who put them there.

16. Hoo-ah.

Amazing, I stated no opinion one way or the other. I see support is limited to the soldiers who 'stay in step' so to speak.

Answer 1

Dont sugar coat this. Tell us how you really feel.

Answer 2

Hey Specialist Freeman, What camp are you at? I'll aid you get a discharge for those who desire one. Are you at camp Liberty? Or are you continue to within the States now not making up to the entire others over right here? Go to the DFAC and devour a few ice cream. MMMMMMM Ice Cream. Delicious. Or move stroll arround along with your M-sixteen on your PT T-Shirt and move shoot a few hoops. Maybe you must move to the support station and spot the battle strain unit health practitioner. // Signed Former MM3(SS) USN and KBR contractor Camp Rusta Miya, Iraq

Answer 3

Hey Specialist Freeman,
What camp are you at? I'll help you get a discharge if you want one. Are you at camp Liberty? Or are you still in the States not making as much as all of the others over here?
Go to the DFAC and eat some ice cream. MMMMMMM Ice Cream. Delicious. Or go walk arround with your M-16 in your PT T-Shirt and go shoot some hoops. Maybe you should go to the aid station and see the combat stress unit physician.
