A letter from an angry soldier... from Craig's list. Says it all about this illegal war in Iraq.

Give the Iraq people what they want. Pull out all the American troops. Let Iran take over. Or Turkey.

Remember Nam when the North rolled in? How'd you hippies like that?


I still think it would have been amusing to have reinstated Saddam and had him get that place back under control! He'd have his thugs out working the streets. He'd have that place cleaned up in a day. With a reduction in population no less!

We don't support the illegal war and use of troops, a majority of peace lovin' canadians

minority of elite brainwashed bushie bubbleheads do.

Let's say the US pulls out 1 year from now. If nothing is any different then compared to today, what would the difference and reason be for staying there one more year?

I was about to say the same thing.

Well, now, since you are obviously an expert AND a soldier to have such sure info, perhaps you would be so bold as to comment a bit more on your experienceces there hero, yes? Please, do tell?????

Wow! perhaps you should stay there another year, then report back soldier?, ehhh? Soldier??? hello????.......uhhhhhhmmmm, soldier??.....Where.........Gone! Next drone step up please!

The major war front is the home front. If you dont know that the US govt spends a sizable percentage of your taz dollars to brainwash you, co-opt you or scare you, then you dont know nothing what this war has become...

In that context it is perfectly legitimate to fight the battles everwhere the war is being fought -- especially in the work place and in the schools, And unite with disaffected and fucked up vets, to de-program them (they are a most convincing when they are commited to the cause). And keep them away from the war mongers who will distract them and silence them...

And dont wait for return mails from your reps to be anything more than a waste of time. And dont expect the internet to persuade enough to be effective. Get out there and fight!!!

Those who insist to those who support the war that they should go to Iraq and fight... Why would they do that? They are fighting it on the home front, and SO SHOULD YOU!!!

quote:Anonymous Coward 221937

Because the vast majority of the troops support what they are doing.

----------------------

Why don't you go to youtube and watch video after video of veterns of the Iraq war that are now speaking out as part of vetern organizations that want the war to be STOPPED NOW.

Just because you don't have the images and the soliders words beaten into your head via FOXnews, CNN, MSNBC, ETC...does not mean that the troops are not becoming fed up. The "vast majority" are indoctrinated to embrace the war mentality via their military training. So, they are pro-war by design...but when they get there and experience the reality of what is going on in Iraq, many are finding that their conscience can not supress the fact that this is not a noble or just war. They do not even know who the enemy is that they are fighting. They are unclear on this term insurgents...it is a title for a vague enemy that is fighting with IED's to get the occupiers (US troops)out of their country.

Take the time to listen to their words. Take the time to find out how many Iraqi civilians they have killed in the name of fightings this war against...WMD's?...Saddam?...Terrorism?...what was the reason we are there again?

The evil Saddam is dead. So even if they need to fight it out among themselves to figure out who and how their country will be ruled, what business is it of ours to inject ourselves into their civil war? Did a foreign country have any place in our own Civil War? of course not.

I am a conservative that votes republican most of the time, you might expect me to be a flag waving, yellow ribbon wearing war lover...nope, this war is BS! I have had to be intellectually honest and open my eyes to the reality of this war...the troops that have served in Iraq are trying to tell us the truth...I respect them for serving and believe that the best way to honor them for that service is to listen to what they have to say about their experiences, take them seriously and stop supporting the war just because it is the "patriotic" thing to do.

let me ask a question. If her father went thru Vietnam, why the fuck did she join the marines?

Dead is an occupational hazard of serving, many seem to forget this.

I expect all you war supporters to go and enlist, and get your ass over there to be shot...

In fact, lets put it this way, we'll continue the war on this basis only, those that think we should be there can go there to fight, and those that think we should not be there get to go home right now....

How long do you think the War would last under those curcumstances.....

We're about to suffer a military defeat, which is just about the worst thing that can happen to our country...

All those chickenhawks, like Bush and Cheney, and the rest of them, who got out of combat service, because they were connected, could care less about what happens..

Because after it's all over, even if we loose, it will absolutley have no consequence to them or the millions they have in the bank....they'll just pick up their golf clubs and play another round at the country club...

Most people think it won't happen to them.

what he said

Keep sending ur brainwashed bushjugend to iraq, u seem to have lots of idiots to spare. And when the last fucking muslim has finished off the last fucking american, we, the civilized world can breathe free. Oh glorious day!

fuck the usa
land of the homo and the gay
military made up of fags
all dead now,in bags

That's what's hilarious about US politics, it is so hypocritical and tranparent for outsiders. Any anti American can see thru it. Any saboteur can use it to their advantage.

By all means war mongers, continue the war -- it will be your downfall...

Looks like some of you still dont get it.... maybe if u put the fucking politics away for once and wake up to whats real, no matter the case we are losing human life yet some of us want to be hypocrits and take pride in the country they live in? Whatever happend to living the day surviving for tommorrow? I'm in the US Army and we are told lies day by day that the government cares about us.... ya ok... but its the one next to you that matters and thats whats alive.... just another page in the book we can be but everyone wants to bicker and fall unto politics... wheres my log cabin out in the middle of the woods to stay away from some of u freaks??? Just live people,dont succumb to the government break the chains..

This war has gone from looking for W.M.D to now building walls to keep Iraqis apart. 1 Objective after another has not been achieved, and sheople still think a war like this is worth fighting for even 4 years after mission accomplished(where are the Iraqi W.M.D?) was declared. Take the hint when Bush said mission accomplished and declare a victory, that way the troops can come home heroes and not look like the failures they are. They did not fail because of their efforts, but because they were told to fight a enemy which did not attack them on 9/11, they attacked a nation which did not pose a military threat to the U.S nation and they were told they were bringing liberation and freedom, while conducting serge after serge, were building walls and fortified (green)zones and were constantly expanding prisons, military bases and torture chambers.

===This war has gone from looking for W.M.D to now building walls to keep Iraqis apart.===

You arent building walls in Iraq more than you are building walls in your own country, and building walls to keep you all in your country...

I am totally sick of Americans of whatever stripe talking about the internal politics of Iraq, something they know nothing about. And I am sick of Americans NOT talking about their own country whereas everyone else is,,,,

the real politik of their own country, not the BS...

Curious that the "war is illegal" crowd can't tell anyone what law was broken in the prosecution of the war.

Congress authorized the President to act, he acted. Now, like a cat who shit on the carpet, they are trying to cover their tracks with bullshit like "the war is illegal."

Congress voted to authorize the President to act, they have voted funds to prosecute the war, and if they want it to end all they have to do is vote to defund the war and it ends.

But the people who are screaming the loudest and longest are also the most cowardly so the war continues to be funded, and lies are passed off as truth.

Disgusting state of affairs.

Why arent reports of major US casulaties being allowed to be posted on GLP?

Care to tell us what was illegal about this vote?

Didn't think so.

"The war is illegal" is used by hippies, leftists and assorted socialists the way a drunk uses a lamp post, more for support than illumination.

My god there is some hate here?. You people need to realise something, the mid east have been fighting wars for 2000 years do you really think that America or Briton or ANYONE for that matter is gonna change ANYTHING over there?. The west needs to stop trying to police it's lifestyle and laws to the rest of the world. None of you have even the remotest idea of what the Mid east's history or culture is about yet a lot of you here openly agree to what the U.S bad boys and Allies are doing over there?...What ARE they doing?...This is mankind at it's absolute worst. We ALL live on a small blue ball that revolves around a small star yet people seem to think that we are masters of the universe or something. Please just STOP...STOP the war machine, take yer bat and ball and just go home...hmmm..."Home", isn't that where everybody wants to be?
I wonder what life on this planet would be like if everybody just stopped what they were doing and took a good look at each other...WOW...Why your HUMAN. This world cannot continue the way it is, we either change ( and i mean everybody) or we cease to exist as a race..It's your choice...me, i vote change.
Peace is the only way.

I really think that most troops in Iraq believe that they are there to help the people and their country. The majority of people are good at heart and well meaning. There are always a few bad apples in every bunch, but most people are kind. But this doesn't mean that the people at the top who are in charge are good and well meaning, because power tends to bring out the worst in us humans. A truly unselfish, kind and benevolent "politician" is a rarity. So let's not take this out on the troops, even if there are some bad apples in the bunch. In large part the troops follow orders and personally try to be the best they can be in the situation that they have been put into.
So the issue here is not really about the troops, but about the people in power, about the few who pull the strings.

You have to be insane.

===Care to tell us what was illegal about this vote?===

No Security Council resolution for a unilateral invasion -- in contravention of UN Charter, as signed by 192 countries. In flagrant violation of international law, and subject to war crimes -- As in all who voted for war, but probably limited to the administration.

Care to tell us what is illegal about that?

nobody obligated you to enroll to the army of terrorim, so...
