Support The Troops, My Ass
Just heartbreaking.0 comments
George W. Bush went along when his cabinet trumped up their phony little war in Iraq.
Then we put our military population into the craziness of "battle of the bulge" type madness and stress for years on end, and drove them absolutely dog-barking mad. Many became totally homicidal, ruined human beings.
Now we unceremoniously dump them back on the streets and tell 'em, "Tough shit, kid. Good luck, see ya!"
What Maj. Gen. Mark Graham, commander of Fort Carson in Colorado said, according to AP:"When we see a problem, we try to identify it and really learn what we can do about it. That is what we are trying to do here. There is a culture and a stigma that needs to change."
What Maj. Gen. Graham meant:"Wow, we fucked these kids up really bad...and it's gone public. Crap! Now, we gotta come up with a way to dig ourselves outta this mess!"
Good luck, general. It will probably take larger minds than yours.
What a nightmare.
