MILITARY MORALE HITS BOTTOM IN IRAQ

While War Party proclaims 'colonialist consensus' at home
by Justin Raimondo



American troops in Iraq, who creamed Saddam Hussein and his cronies in record time, are turning their sights on another target: the Bush administration ? and if I were the Bushies, I'd be scared. A sergeant stationed in Fallujah recently told ABC News:

"I've got my own 'Most Wanted' list. The aces in my deck are Paul Bremer, Donald Rumsfeld, George Bush and Paul Wolfowitz,"


Sure, the soldiers of the Army's 3rd Infantry Division are tired ? exhausted is more like it. They've been there since September, and were promised that they'd be home by now. But it isn't just homesickness. Pfc. Eric Rattler avers:

"I used to want to help these people, but now I don't really care about them anymore. I've seen so much, you know, little kids throwing rocks at you. Once you pacify an area, it seems like the area you just came from turns bad again. I'd like this country to be all right, but I don't care anymore."


A conquered country needs to stay conquered, and that requires an occupation; we'll be in Iraq anywhere from 5 to 10 years, according to the experts and influential members of Congress. It is also going to require a lot more troops. But American soldiers are trained to win wars, not to baby-sit restive natives. Imperialism goes against the grain of the American character, as vociferously expressed by one of the military wives, Rhonda Vega of Hinesville, Georgia, who told a national TV audience:

"Just send my husband home – send all the soldiers home. They have done the job they were supposed to do."

U.S. Soldiers Complain of Low Morale in Iraq

Excerpt:
Fed up with being in Iraq and demoralized by their role as peacekeepers in a risky place,
U.S. soldiers aired their plight on TV Wednesday and said they had lost faith in the Army.

"If Donald Rumsfeld were here, I'd ask him for his resignation..."

"I would ask him why we are still here. I don't have any clue why we are still in Iraq."

"We were told the fastest way back home is through Baghdad and that's what we did. Now we are still here,"

"When I told her she started crying and I almost started crying. I just felt like my heart was broken.
I could not figure out ... how they could keep us here after they told us we were coming home."

Boys, you've just been punk'd by the deserted-his-post-during-wartime liar who lied to get you in harm's way.
A real Commander in Chief always considers the safety of his troops, but not this crooked bungler.

You see, he wants that oil really, really, really, really badly

Quotes

"None of us that wear this uniform are free to say anything disparaging about the Secretary
of Defense or the President of the U.S. We're not free to do that. It's our professional code."
-- Gen. John Abizaid, new commander in Iraq, warning the troops to "watch what they say,"

Funny, when they called Clinton "the faggot-loving rapist," it was OK for them to speak.
Remember, Jesse Helms said Clinton better not visit the troops without the Secret Service.

But when Bush's idiocy is killing a man per day, it's important that they remain silent?
