Crime and Punishment

There is no doubt in my mind, and I suspect that there is a pretty general, though not widely stated opinion in America that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are totally legitimate, world class war criminals.

But what about our servicemen? There has been a general consensus that our overseas fighting men and women are engaged in a futile, but noble exercise in the service of the United States of America. I think it is time to challenge that cliche perception. Let's face it, these Guardsmen and Marines are nothing else than hired thugs in the service of the above cited war criminals.

I have heard some excusing for their criminal behavior against both private Iraqi citizens and/or prisoners as being a natural result of the pressure they are under while serving in an hostile environment. Well who is to blame for thier presence in Iraq? Not the Iraqis. And who can blame the Iraqis for wanting to kill and remove their invaders? Not me.

It is time for any moral member of our armed forces to pull out. Mutiny. Go AWOL. Lay down your weapons.

Either get the fuck out of Iraq or take your own medicine and stop whining while sucking at the teat of the Great American War Machine.
