From an Angry Soldier by shii [Subscribe] Mon Apr 23, 2007 at 10:07:19 AM PDT The following anonymous message was posted to craigslist by a soldier and widow in San Francisco. I'm having the worst damn week of my whole damn life so I'm going to write this while I'm pissed off enough to do it right. I am SICK of all this bullshit people are writing about the Iraq war. I am abso-fucking-lutely sick to death of it. What the fuck do most of you know about it? You watch it on TV and read the commentaries in the newspaper or Newsweek or whatever god damn yuppie news rag you subscribe to and think you're all such fucking experts that you can scream at each other like five year old about whether you're right or not. Let me tell you something: unless you've been there, you don't know a god damn thing about it. It you haven't been shot at in that fucking hell hole, SHUT THE FUCK UP! shii's diary :: :: How do I dare say this to you moronic war supporters who are "Supporting our Troops" and waving the flag and all that happy horse shit? I'll tell you why. I'm a Marine and I served my tour in Iraq. My husband, also a Marine, served several. I left the service six months ago because I got pregnant while he was home on leave and three days ago I get a visit from two men in uniform who hand me a letter and tell me my husband died in that fucking festering sand-pit. He should have been home a month ago but they extended his tour and now he's coming home in a box. You fuckers and that god-damn lying sack of shit they call a president are the reason my husband will never see his baby and my kid will never meet his dad. And you know what the most fucked up thing about this Iraq shit is? They don't want us there. They're not happy we came and they want us out NOW. We fucked up their lives even worse than they already were and they're pissed off. We didn't help them and we're not helping them now. That's what our soldiers are dying for. Oh while I'm good and worked up, the government doesn't even have the decency to help out the soldiers whos lives they ruined. If you really believe the military and the government had no idea the veterans' hospitals were so fucked up, you are a god-damn retard. They don't care about us. We're disposable. We're numbers on a page and they'd rather forget we exist so they don't have to be reminded about the families and lives they ruined while they're sipping their cocktails at another fund raiser dinner. If they were really concerned about supporting the troops, they'd bring them home so their families wouldn't have to cry at a graveside and explain to their children why mommy or daddy isn't coming home. Because you can't explain it. We're not fighting for our country, we're not fighting for the good of Iraq's people, we're fighting for Bush's personal agenda. Patriotism my ass. You know what? My dad served in Vietnam and NOTHING HAS CHANGED. So I'm pissed. I'm beyond pissed. And I'm going to go to my husband funeral and recieve that flag and hang it up on the wall for my baby to see when he's older. But I'm not going to tell him that his father died for the stupidty of the American government. I'm going to tell him that his father was a hero and the best man I ever met and that he loved his country enough to die for it, because that's all true and nothing will be solved by telling my son that his father was sent to die by people who didn't care about him at all. Fuck you, war supporters, George W. Bush, and all the god damn mother fuckers who made the war possible. I hope you burn in hell.

Yeah. Unadulterated truth will make you say that, sometimes.
It is not a Justice System. It is just a system.
I just wanted to echo that sentence.
Galatians 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
There's no telling how many thousands of the troops, or their families, could have written this letter...
She is wrong about that, and one can only hope, to the extent I'll entertain that this might be a true story, this tale doesn't get repeated in 20 years.
I don't think it's a made up thing, although I suppose it could be. And you are right. Well-meaning relations of Vietnam fatalities undoubtedly thought they could erase the filth of that war from the minds of it's children by repeating the canard about "your daddy died a hero..." And then of course, they wanna be heroes, too, right? And fortunately, along comes another Vietnam redo that gives them a chance, or if they're too old, at least they can cheer this one on.

Man... She could be my sister.
Dying for old bastards, and their old money, isn't my idea of freedom.
Well, she's got a mouth like yours. snark.
Paranoia is a survival trait in a Decidership.
Sorry, ma'am...but nothing is going to change.
Probably not. Not unless we tear the whole thing down and start over from about 1925.

No kidding. It must be in the bloodlines.
that's what happens when a woman is in a combat type role for the military. My female friend's brother is a chaplain and in Iraq now in Baghdad. He goes on patrols regularly. A week ago he was in firefight with 6 Americans wounded. it happens regularly with him. and he talks like that now, even when he's not talking about the war. and he never used to. and he's a chaplain.
Galatians 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
I hope he doesn't take the Lord's name in vain.
there's certain individuals who bring that mouth out in me too. ;)
Fuck you, war supporters, George W. Bush, and all the god damn mother fuckers who made the war possible. I hope you burn in hell. Praise be to Boy George! (I'm curious if this is authentic, however.)

No way to tell, it was posted anonymously at Craig's List. It certainly has the ring of reality to it, though.

My WWII 'hero' (and he was) Great Uncle set me straight. It's what elders are suppose to do, or, to quote Kipling: 'If any question why we died, Tell them, because our fathers lied.
And just to put a proper comment here: AMERICA is an INFERNAL WAR MACHINE, we will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS be fighting SOME kind of God-damned war every ten to fifteen years, like clockwork, BECAUSE is this America, land of permanent war, land of corporate overlords and peasant serfs, and NOTHING is EVER going to change until the day comes that the rest of the world puts this rabid dog called America down.
He should have been home a month ago but they extended his tour and now he's coming home in a box.

Even a pissed off Marine wouldn't go this far. She's supposedly still on active duty. There's a distinct lack of military parlance, even among the profanity. I wouldn't expect this to turn up as authentic. Otherwise, a great message. It certainly has the ring of reality to it, though.

Exactly right every damn time.

Oh, you never know. We might just get eclipsed and turn into a bunch of tea drinking fags like the British or a bunch of high fashion pantywaists like the French. Then we can tag along behind the Chinese as they serve the role of world policeman.
and NOTHING is EVER going to change until the day comes that the rest of the world puts this rabid dog called America down.

That day is coming real soon. Put up some food and water...you'll be glad you did.

I wouldn't expect this to turn up as authentic. Otherwise, a great message. I know a few marines that would, and one USAF officer that would not only go this far, he'd go farther.

It was my WWI granddad who set me straight on dying for the lie.

This, of course, pertains to all of us, not just the soldiers. From BigChem/BigPharma poisons, to the OpenBorderLobby, to traitors in TheStateInc who have committed mass murder via Waco-OKC-911 et al..to PredatoryUsery, to the CorporoFascist destruction of our jobs and standard of living...we're all expendable. We can hope they do indeed burn in hell.

I agree with you IndieTX. and I also say BTTT - because this is one of the best articles we've ever had posted here.
