Gung-ho Army desert Rats . . .

[TeeYiYi]

. . . Mike Taibbi's piece today made me think (again) about the damage being done to our soldiers.:(

"Hitchens in his piece accuses Moore of errors by omission: How come he isn't writing about the CNN producers who every day show us gung-ho Army desert rats instead of legless malcontents in the early stages of a lifelong morphine addiction?"

Photo snagged from one of Newsweek's many images of war galleries.

1. I thought the "roof is on fire" soldier and the Drowning Pool listening

Abrams tank crew were pretty gung ho, myself.

3. Society will be reaping that damage for many, many years to come........

Would that the media cheerleaders were the ones taking on that burden, not the rest of us........

4. I found this image . . .

. . . in the photo gallery on 'Saddam's Prison Letter' page. It's called 'Death In Baghdad - Blood and Tears in Sadr City'. It's a pretty powerful gallery of photos. You'll find it toward the bottom on the right. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5270914/site/newsweek/site/newsweek/site/newsweek/

6. "legless malcontents"

And they say those of us on the left don't support the troops. I hate this right wing sack of shit more than words can describe. Hopefully he'll continue into his advanced stage of alcolhism and choke on his own vomit.
