Rob of Strike The Root has Some Thoughts About the War:
When I look at the faces of the men who were killed in this war, I don’t see people who “had other priorities” when it came time to serve their country (like Dick Cheney) or who deserted their unit (like George W. Bush). I don’t see men with cute little names such as I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby. (I can see it now: “Drill Sergeant, my name is Scooter.”) I don’t see politicians or policy wonks. I don’t see members of such groups as The Project for a New American Century, or people who read Commentary magazine. I don’t see people who have an office in the American Enterprise Institute building, or people who are on TV shows such as “The Beltway Boys.” I don’t see people who have advised or spied for the Israeli government, or who secretly lobby for defense contractors while holding one of the top jobs at the Pentagon. I don’t see people who are obsessed with the U.S. conquering and controlling the Middle East . I see young men who thought they were serving their country and doing the right thing, men who got used by an elite cabal and chewed up and spit out by the State, just the latest cannon fodder left in Leviathan’s long wake of death and destruction in this sorry, fallen world.
Well said brother.
