Jesus, Bob, this and the Schwartz hosannah for Free Fallujah are about as bad a puke as anything you've posted. These vomitoria are upchucked by the hundreds by professional writers usually under contract, or angling for one, or in the case of the eye-witness in the propaganda unit of the Corps. Go over to DoD's and the mil departments' and warmongering foreign policy web sites and you'll see a lot of this juvenalia posted urging dads and sons to get hot about serving the nation. Formulaic dreck to generate fodder for the grinding machine. DoD puts on these shows several times a week, and all spokespersons speak the same lingo -- Stepford wiving. On Friday DoD rolled out two vile initiatives claiming to support the troops. Remember that when a military action like Fallujah is completely unnecessary except to display power by hamburgering youngsters and civilians, the glorious war stories come fast and furious to counter the uptick of funerals and VA hospital lifetime inductees. BTW, Bob, what's your draft status? Ready to die or lose your limbs for a mil spin doctors' salary boost? The NY Times today describes a Marine sniper getting his head exploded by an insurgent sniper, a day or so after the Marine predicted it would happen, whistling dixie, narcotized by the Green Cunt.
