Alleged Iraqi Prisoner Abuse

The alleged abuse of prisoners is all flash and no cash. The purpose of war is to destroy the enemy and have our way. The purpose of the American soldier is to make sure the enemy soldier dies for his/her country. Why do we take prisoners? These people want to die for their country and we should not only permit them to do so but help them. We have no business babysitting. In war the best thing you can do is to wound the enemy because it takes more enemy soldiers to care for them.

Anyone who thinks the Army Reserve and National Guards are soldiers havenÂ’t seen them in action. To say that the American soldier is the best-trained soldier in the world says more about the other armyÂ’s lack of training than it says positive things about the American soldier. Our special and elite units are trained and are the best in the world the average soldier is not. The Reserve and National Guards are civilians in uniform. They neither have the desire to serve or the training to be put in a combat situation. Can you imagine Bill Clinton or George Bush in combat? Anyone who wonders how the Jessica Lynch outfit got lost in the desert obviously has not seen these weekend warriors getting lost on the interstate highways while they are trying to find there camp for the weekend or their two weeks duty in the summer. The members of congress who voted to reduce the standing army and to reduce training budgets are the culprits here not the soldier who has been thrown into a situation beyond his/her control. Do we use women to guard men in our criminal justice systemÂ’s maximum-security prisons? Why use women to guard prisoners in the military? They neither have the skill or strength to control a bad situation. They are window dressing and war is no place for window dressing.

Watching the congressional inquisition of our military is sickening. The high and mighty congress spanking the bad boys of the military for doing their job. Seven soldiers received court martial while six officers received reprimands. Congress should get off their soapbox and tell the American public what these soldiers could have done to stop the alleged abuse. The answer is there was no one to tell and thatÂ’s because of congress, who are running the war and are hiding in safety while the soldiers are trying to figure out what is thmissionsion and are trying to do itÂ…

We proved during our Revolutionary war, saw it in the Viet Nam war, saw it in Afghanistan when the Afghans threw the Russians out, and are seeing it in Iraq, local folks dedicated to their cause will defeat the largest of armies every time unless the army is ruthless like the Russians in Hungry.

LET'S GET OUT OF IRAQ!!!! Before we are embarrassed moreÂ…
