After
caveman tuned me into this,
http://www.livejournal.com/users/insomnia/475252.html
I jumped into the fray. Later though, a fellow claiming to be an actual soldier on the ground in Iraq posted a rather harsh rebuttal (not to me). Basically saying "shut the f up, I'm being shot at every day". I wanted to say something, but what do you say? The man is being shot at, I have no relevant experience in being shot at, so I do in fact "shut the f up".
But it just makes me even more pissed off to hear from a fellow american caught in the crossfire. Knowing I screamed bloody murder to stop this madness from the beginning. Knowing the entire world screamed bloody murder to stop this. The mindset of the American public, that you cannot oppose the war without being traitor to the service people fighting in Iraq. Knowing that the soldier is too busy fighting for his life to take time to understand that the whole thing was a mistake. That I can't tell him without taking the chance of breaking his morale and getting him killed.
I could go on forever, but it just sucks, just plain sucks.
Edit: and delete my posts, as the lunitics are begining to arrive and there is no use in being anywhere near the post once the lunitics arrive.
