Here's your gun, go to war now

They're sending troops to Iraq with less training. Yeah, less training! Less training to stay alive, and get home in one piece? Fat
chance! When they get shipped off to the most dangerous MF-ing part of
the planet they are on their own!
It really sickens me to see this reality show on TV. The after effects of
this war, as all the other wars, is just as painful to witness and no matter
how horrible the narrators always have to make sure they mention how
this poor soul wanted to be there with his buddies and how much he loves
fighting for his country.
It seems to make these people feel like they
are better people having said the things they just said. They never ever
point the finger of blame to the sons of bitches who put him there for
no good reason except to make his neocon oil tycoon buddies richer!
These presstitutes always go with the flow, mentioning as many times as
possible how it is for the war on terror, for freedom for the Iraqis, and
all the rest of the Bushit!
That's about all we get broadcast on our
sorry ass version of what's being called the news these days. We're
granted a 5 minute look at a 20 year old soldier who for the last two
years has basically been

Excerpt: Rushed by President Bush's decision to reinforce Baghdad with thousands more U.S. troops, two Army combat brigades are skipping their usual session at the Army's special training range in California. They are now making preparations to leave their home bases.
Some in Congress and others outside the Army are beginning to question whether that decision means the Army is cutting corners in preparing soldiers for combat. The desert training was designed specially to prepare soldiers for the challenges of Iraq.

trying to get the proper rehabilitation after a
serious brain injury due to almost being blown to bits over in that hell
known as Iraq. They had to remove part of his skull so what was left of
his brain could heal, and after that crisis passed they made him a

plastic
skull to replaced the damaged one. But the huge bureaucracy is as fucked
up as it ever was, full of endless red tape and catch 22s, and this poor
grateful patriot veteran is only asking for a chance to get back on his
feet and get on with what's left of his life.
But now it's endless hours of
trying to make due with what was lost over there. Now at home living with
his parents in the trailer park, trying to salvage what is left of his
life. Welcome home, hero, this is

what's waiting for you and your buddies!
Ask that neighbor whose home is draped with the flags and the Support
The Troops stickers on their new car if they would drive you to your
doctor's appointment while your mom goes back to work. Maybe they can
help you get a minimum wage job.
This is all so typical -- who does the dirty work for these who would have us go to war
in their place? Don't tell me things have changed. With every war it's
worse!
And what's that I heard those right wing talk show hosts say over and
over about it's not the working poor and uneducated that are in this
military this time My ass it's not! On one side of their hypocritical
mouths they say ''Hey they volunteered, they knew what they were up
against'' and the other side of their mouths they say ''I'm proud of you
brave men and women and I support your mission''
A word of advice to you mothers and fathers out there, before you pat your
kid on the back and say how proud you are of them for want to sign up to
this canard. Take them into a veteran's hospital PRONTO! ASAP! Show
them what happens in war. It's your solemn duty as a parent to show them
both sides, now, while they are still healthy and unharmed. Don't let them
learn the hard way, coming home all messed up, confused and full of hate
or worse the knock at the door and that letter that reads, "We regret to
inform you..." followed by a coffin-draped in the American flag.
You kept
your kids from harm all these years, you brought them to the scared straight
programs at school when they were youngsters. You made them wear a
helmet when they got their first bike, and reminded them to buckle their
seatbelts when they learned to drive, and now do you want to throw them in
front of a truck and tell them they won't get run over?
Is that what those first nineteen years was about? Looking forward to
future with no grandchildren, or due to the DU (depleted Uranium) they're
all breathing in over there, how about grand children with horrendous
birth defects? Are you looking forward to wiping tears from a widowed
bride's eyes? Teaching your sons and daughters to walk again with one leg
and half their brains blown away?
Don't give these corrupt demons any more of your sons and daughters to
be used for cannon fodder! All so we can put a few more gallons of that crap those dinosaurs left
behind in cars we're still paying for?
All because a pResident and a bunch of greedy warmongering heartless
fools decided to unleash hell on the whole world!
I want you to look me straight in the eye without tearing up, and tell
me this shit of a lie of a war is worth your kid's life! |
