"Good" Soldiers follow orders....
Edited on Mon Sep-10-07 02:04 PM by LeftHander
In the heat of the moment soldiers follow orders and will shoot women and children.

In following procedures soldiers will stay within the rules and run over children in the road in Iraq.

30 Dead civilians in one action in Iraq is not a problem. Any more than that call it in.

Deadly force is justified at checkpoints, it is okay to shoot first.

In the scope of political justifications for war profiteering, generals will distort the facts at behest of the Commander in Chief.

Did anyone expect the military to comeback with any other answers other than "Stay the course."?

This entire war is insane. Bush is insane. Republicans are liars.

The Military Industrial Complex wins all wars.

Even ones we lose.

4. Funny how some blame the military and keep sending dollars ...
... and keep their jobs with defense contractors and sneer at those engaged in civil disobedience.

I'm constantly nauseated by "citizens" who would rather shift blame than step up to our resposibility for OUR OWN self-governance. A cowardly citizenry cannot legitimately expect military personnel to do both the job of a military and the job of the People.

3. Good Soldiers do not follow illegal orders.
Senior Officers who choose not to resign and/or retire under a TYRANT for a Commander in Chief, are as morally bankrupt as their fascist masters within The Military Industrial Complex.

It's all about profit ---> Follow the money! (Our tax dollars being raped away by these goons.)
