I'm almost 100% positive that those people in the military who joined before 2001 never ever imagined that they'd be in a war in Iraq. I'm almost 100% positive that those in the NATIONAL guard never thought they'd be in Iraq and not walking the streets of Paducah. It's a weekend job to make extra money. Certainly my now ex-husband never thought he'd be gone this long (March 2003-now) floating on a boat off the coast of Oman when he was promised a teaching position in Annapolis. He says the news they have on the ship's feed is so totally different than what we have. The only time they can access websites like CNN or other news sites is when he gets shore leave and can go to an internet cafe in Muscat. And he's an officer. But the superiors feel it would have an affect on the ship's mentality if they knew we were losing the fucking war.

but that does not negate what I refer to as the "video game mentality" because a good portion of the ground troops are 30 and under.. They've been saturated with 'war games' on their video and now they get to live it in real life. Back in 2003 after we 1st invaded. one of the reporters on the scene for CNN was interviewing this young man from the LA area. The reporter asked him how he was doing and was this what he expected when he enlisted. The kid said.. "No it's not like the video games, people get shot but they don't get a replay" So i think in their head they must feel it is OK to go into a town and slaughter innocent people. Afterall they could do that on their playstation.

We aren't talking Harvard graduates here. Who enlists in a volunteer military at horrible wages and even worse living conditions? Some of them who's only hope is to get out 'dodge city'

Wars, for whatever reason, are never good. People, sometimes innocent die. But this war is unconscionable because it was started on lies, it's been accelerated on more lies and maybe not in my lifetime will GWB go down as not only the very worst president we ever had but will be right up there with the other butchers in history like Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin etc.

Nixon is looking pretty good these days.
