The Military and its tactics being visited on the soldiers in Iraq, to reup...
Brokeback_Dev:
This is really scary... I cant believe that the military is using such tactics, but i know its true because its something our leader would definitely stoop to doing. Plus, when our service men and women come home, they live with the fear of being deployed again at anytime. I dislike Bush and obviously so does his staff. Little by little they are resigning to the left and to the right. What a piss ant he turned out to be.

Aaron is home safe and sound and all in one piece. I am very thankful. But die a little
each time I see or hear of the ones that are killed. The waste, and the pain is just horrible.
If this war was a necessary one, I would at least feel it was a sacrifice to a good cause. However I dont see a cause worthy of death there. Its only for cash and oil.
I hang my head in shame...what we have become.
I want to wring George W Bush's neck every time he says if you say something against the war, you are undermining the troops....LIAR---LIAR LIAR. you scum sucking piece of pond grunge.

the thing that makes me want to cry is to hear anyone talking about how awful another country is...like Iran and they say..."THEY torture and kill people"
we USED to be able to say we don't torture. we used to hold ourselves to a higher standard. We were Americans.
Thank you Bush. What an accomplishment...you have ruined the legacy of the Greatest Generation and everything they stood and fought and died for.

I absolutely and TOTALLY agree with you Jess. I couldn't have said it any better. You just expressed my feelings exactly.
The whole thing... everything, is an awful, horrible shame. It will probably take us generations to dig ourselves out of this terrible mess, and even longer than that before the world trusts us again, if it is even possible. Far too much damage has been done now, I think. :'(

There are bad things that happen in any organization. The ones who are doing the harrassing of soldiers should be dealt with harshly, but it does not happen in every unit.
I have heard soldiers say that they'll be happy to go back and that their cause is a good one. So not all of the soldiers are against the war. I've listened to a lot of the guys and gals from the 875th engineer battalion who are back from a tour, and they have positive outlooks.
Bush's people who are resigning are not resigning because they don't like him. They are resigning because of public pressure and to appease the headhunters.
The far left press has done its best to undermine EVERYTHING in this administration. Everything in this administration has not been good NOR has it all been bad.
Just like "Media Matters" taking Bill O'Reilly's comments about Sylvia's out of context---not reporting that Juan Williams, a high profile black reporter was with Bill O, and agreed with him. The far left media slants and spins things to their advantage---no better or no worse than the far right.
Everything isn't black or white.
No tarring and feathering the slightly right of center me please. I've had a rough week.
