Average american opinions of our soldiers??
Amazingly this is NOT from Free Republic! (it is from Yahoo here: http://news.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?.mm=NEWS&action=l&board=37138445&tid=apiraqgrumblingsoldiers&sid=37138445&ft=1)

Just saw it at Bartcop and thought it was interesting...

Who do these military chumps think they are anyway? did they think they were so special that they should just spend years of getting free meals and rent and 6 years of college paid for because of their superior IQ levels? They are just pissed like a loser in Las Vegas casino. They gambled that they could sit for years on the military welfare train and never have to do more than whorehouse duty in Kosovo...

Excuse me but ISNT this what they SIGN UP to do? Being in the military is NOT a free ride for handouts and free education! If you dont expect to GO to WAR and do it with HONOR then get a dishonorable and LEAVE but ALSO LEAVE THE COUNTRY. STAY IN IRAQ or HEAD TO FRANCE OR CANADA. Being in the military is ABOUT WAR and DEFENSE. Get a brain wave!

It's full of "I didn't sign up to fight, I signed up for the college fund" kind of troopies....weak-minded indivduals who have no sense of what it means to be a soldier. A combat tour is supposed to be 6 months! At least! What's with this "army of one" BS? it's supposed to be a team thing, not a rag-bag candy ass collection of individualistic camel shit.

LOL!

More soldiers have died of accidents elsewhere in the same time than have died in Iraq.

If this is their 'resistance', then it is apparent why they've only been able to beat their wives and camels in a straight up fight for the last 500 years.
