8. The Troops do NOT support this occupation
Most are young kids who singned up to defens their country in times of peace so they would not starve and so that they would have an education and a chance in life.

Bushco and the American people who let Gore's election get stolen are responsible for them being there. THEY are not. I agree that at any time any soldier may choose to go to prison. But these fine young people are doing their best to PROTECT our country under the command of a lunatic.

Blaming thr SOLDIERS for the insanity of people like Kerry and Gephardt and Bush - who sent these kids there - is WRONG.

They are virtually fucked and you should have some comapssion for them.

Jesus's expression (slightly modified) is apt: Forgive them for they had no fucking idea what they were soing when they signed up. They had no idea they would have to kill innocents and follow sick orders and expose themselves to deadly injections and depleted uranium.

Jesus Christ, Fisheye -- you are blaming the victims. They may not ALL be victims. But tha vast majority are there merely to survive in a corrupt world --- just like the military anywhere.

YES we are an occupying force and it is FUBAR. But these kids did not create this mess: WE DID. We LET BUSH DO IT.
