POPSA poem by a soldier of his thoughts Not just of places you have not been and things you had the privilege of not doing, your undoing, But my very existence as a citizen-soldier sent by you to YOUR war which you can cleanse yourself from daily with a change of a thought or a channel, Streaming into your TV at night are my ghost-brothers, my Wolf Band of the Cheyenne, and they will not let go, Nor will the ones we have lost, those who paid the greatest cost, the very ones nobody can even name any more there have been so many already, and their widows and orphans, Who will be the wife of such a madman, the neighbor of the soul tormented by Legion, the friend of such an ill body? The veteran suffers like Job, and has days he curses the day he was born; yet strangely would do it all again, yes even go back for relief from YOUR world.

POPSSoldiers gone Berserker
comment from thekidde on Alternet: The US must get out of Iraq NOW. Our soldiers are being turned into gestapo/SS assholes. As a platoon leader in Vietnam, I threatened (with my M-16) a member of my platoon (a new platoon as I had just been transferred from the unit I shipped to Vietnam with) because he had his hand down the shirt of Vietnamese woman. We were fairly far out in the boonies and the small group of women, kids and old men we encountered were probably supporting the VC to survive (under duress, or not - who cares). This particular soldier and those standing around laughing at his disgusting behavior got reamed by me (5'6" of me). Since everyone had a weapon, this may have been foolish on my part in hindsight, but I believe that my charge as an infantry officer required that I uphold the honor and integrity of the US Army. So I say fuck the "leaders" and fuck the soldiers who conduct themselves in such a manner. They do not deserve to wear the uniform and the so-called lead
