One serving US soldier's perspective.

Had to laugh at his first link. Under the headline 'News from Iraq', the
only link he provides is Fox News. Priceless.

And check out his blog:

Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq? Who cares?
In the months leading up to the election, I found it amazing the malice
towards President Bush regarding the fact that no weapons of mass
destruction were discovered in Iraq. I'm sincerely dumbfounded the
opposition can't find a more significant case than this against him.
First of all, there is unequivocal evidence that WMDs did exist in Iraq
and have either been well hid or moved to Syria or Iran or Saudi
Arabia...if not France, Germany or Russia.

Secondly, regardless if Iraq had WMDs or not...the invasion of Iraq was
just and honorable. The failure to comply with UN sanctions, the human
rights atrocities, the harboring and funding of radical Islamic enemies
of America, and the free flow of oil were all reason enough to overthrow
the leadership of Iraq with or without the presence of the weapons in
question.

Ahhh.... the free flow of oil.... thought that had absolutely nothing to
do with it? ;-)

And the WMD have been transported to France, Germany or Russia?


Poor, deluded fool advocates invading Iran too.

:roll:

I only agree with one point that he made. Try to guess which one. :-)

Forces building up in Russia? Who cares?
In the months leading up to Operation Barbarossa, I found it amazing the malice towards our Führer regarding the fact that no huge Bolshevist armies were discovered on the Russia-Poland border. I'm sincerely dumbfounded the opposition can't find a more significant case than this against him. First of all, there is unequivocal evidence that the Soviets did plan invasion of the glorious Reich, and their armies have either been well hid or moved to Siberia or Kamchatka...if not Britain, Australia or America.

Secondly, regardless if the Soviets were a danger or not...the invasion of Russia was just and honorable. The failure to comply with Polish borderlines, the the harboring and funding of radical Marxist and Jewish enemies of the Reich, and the freedom of the Reich's resources were all reason enough to attempt to overthrow the leadership of Russia with or without the presence of the armies in question.

@Wilse:

There, there. There's mitigating circumstances. If the soldier would publically say his CiC is an idiot, he is committing a crime for which he can be court-martialled. Soldiers aren't paid to think, they're paid to obey. (That's what made the Spetsnaz such feared soldiers: they had the right to disobey orders if they felt they conflicted with their mission objective.)

With any luck, the soldier in question will step on a land mine and become a candidate for the Darwin awards!

Our Führer, Kenny? ;-)

Then why say anything at all?

unfortunately, these poor fellas need to justify - to themselves - their behavior. it's only when they return from the battlefield that they slowly realize they have been used and the nightmares begin.

some of us just have the nightmares now.

I read that and I want to salute a flag.

The guy sounds spot on.

[Wilse]

Yeah, let's go invade Iran...... what's another couple of hundred thousand innocent lives?

[Karlos]

Hell, I'm in! With or without any WMD or links to terrorism. Just as long as it keeps the oil flowing...

How come his "know the enemy" page says a lot about the Taliban and Islam but f**k-all about Iraq??

I always thought the phrase spot-on implied, uh... I dunno, some kind of relevance???

Seems like another attempt to exploit the Great Western Cognitive Bias to me.

I dunno. Morale? PR? To let the world know you're a dumbass who needs to make up stories to believe he's doing nasty things for a Good Cause? There's several billion of those running around on the globe and I guess one more can't hurt :-).

It reminds me of a BBC documentary where the journalist interviewed the soldiers doing the guarding at Guantanamo Bay. That was just fscking scary. Everyone believed They Were Doing This For Their Country, the ... whatshisname... military preacher 'was not concerned for the welfare of the prisoners, only with those guarding them', and so forth. It was a first class charade, and they knew it. But if they didn't put it on, even simple people would begin asking nasty questions, and we can't have that. I guess it's the same with the interviewed soldier.

Probably hasn't updated it yet. Sounds like career military guy, probably was in Afganistan before Iraq. Kind of like looking at many Amiga dealers websites. The homepage has been recently updated, but their product pages still list Boxer & CyberstormNG :-o
