Stripes letter: War based on a lie

War based on a lie

Weapons of mass destruction? I’m still looking for them, and if you find any give me a call so we can justify our presence in Iraq. We started the war based on a lie, and we’ll finish it based on a lie. I say this because I am currently serving with a logistics headquarters in the Anbar province, between the cities of Fallujah and Ramadi. I am not fooled by the constant fabrication of “democracy” and “freedom” touted by our leadership at home and overseas.

This deception is furthered by our armed forces’ belief that we can just enter ancient Mesopotamia and tell the locals about the benefits of a legislative assembly. While our European ancestors were hanging from trees, these ancient people were writing algebra and solving quadratic equations. Now we feel compelled to strong-arm them into accepting the spoils of capitalism and “laissez-faire” society. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching Britney Spears on MTV and driving to McDonald’s, but do you honestly believe that Sunnis, Shias and Kurds want our Western ideas of entertainment and freedom imposed on them? Think again.

I’m not being negative, I’m being realistic. The reality in Iraq is that the United States created a nightmare situation where one didn’t exist. Yes, Saddam Hussein was an evil man who lied, cheated and pillaged his own nation. But how was he different from dictators in Africa who commit massive crimes again humanity with little repercussion and sometimes support from the West? The bottom line up front (BLUF to use a military acronym) is that Saddam was different because we used him as an excuse to go to war to make Americans “feel good” about the “War on Terrorism.” The BLUF is that our ultimate goal in 2003 was the security of Israel and the lucrative oil fields in northern and southern Iraq.

Weapons of mass destruction? Call me when you find them. In the meantime, “bring ’em on” so we can get our “mission accomplished” and get out of this mess.

just kicked, and recommended

:cry:

PB

Thanks, lebkuchen, for you combing the Stars and Stripes and posting for us.

I have been seeing for the last day or so, on the news some soldier in Iraq in battle gear who says that it would be a shame if we pulled our trooops out too soon and didn't do what we are there for, and let all the lives of our .... blah, blah, blah

Thanks for printing this letter.

Or reprimanded.

In one of his little fireside chats. What a fucked up world.

:patriot:

I'm guessing that Jeff Pirozzi could find himself in some pretty hot water over it.

Something 99.9% of murkins ignore.

Pirozzi - KEEP SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER.

Very courageous to write something like that. I admire the courage.

I would recommend this thread, but don't think I have enough posts yet.

:toast:

from Afghanistan and had nabbed Osama. Excellent post.

key to getting out of Vietnam. It wasn't Congress (give me a break... Congress got us into Vietnam...)

While Congress bickers over various "exit plans" that for the most part mirror bushs (I would say Murtha's is the most unique, but i don't want troops to redeploy "over the horizon" unless he means Kansas City) soldiers telling it like it is, and then organizing resistance based on their unique view of this disaster are what's needed. We will never leave Iraq unless there is massive refusal in the ranks. Because we are going to lose in Iraq, and the Republicans... and most Democrats will not accept that until it is just too impossible to press on. soldiers in the trenches... or who refuse to go into the trenches, will make it so.

feel so miserable that he will beg to be released from the Army, if he hasn't made up his mind to do so already.

I am surpised Stars and Lies printed this.

this link needs to be sent to MSM and press media.

this is really amazing.

some insight as to what the soldiers are going through.

Compared to your own GODDAMN Commander-in-Chief Capt. Pirozzi. Bush is worse than Saddam. Remember that.

Bush has killed more Iraqis than Saddam ever did, but the real winner in the dead Iraqis contest is Bill Clinton. Saddam Hussein ran a secular nation that once had one of the highest standards of living in the ME. Bush, Clinton, and Bush have destroyed Iraq, and they haven't rebuilt it. I'll say it clearly and unambiguously-- Iraq was FAR better off with Saddam Hussein in power than it is under the American occupation.

especially coming from an officer - who can go to jail for 5 years - no questions asked - for speaking badly of the CinC or the mission started by the CinC.(Article 88 under the UCMJ)

Not with our low army reenlistment numbers.

No, he's needed on the front, just like every other "boot" the army/reserve/guard has to offer.

To that soldier, things couldn't get worse, not even prison.

out of someone isn't exactly that far fetched for the military.

Officers aren't as accepting of negative comments either - so an officer making such comments is brave. Especially considering the work place "politics" of being an officer.

I know Article 88 is being well publicized within the military community. AFN covers it several times a day. I always snicker during the "infomercials" - you just know comments are on the rise for them to be airing this particular "informative" 60 seconds spot constantly. AFN does a "FYI" kind of thing which covers the UCMJ, the Geneva Convention, and the Law of Land Warfare - as well as a host of other subjects.

As an aside, Article 88 does not apply to enlisted.

are being felt.

It's been two years since publication. Makes one "wonder" why Stripes hasn't followed up on that survey. Afraid of what they're going to find? Imagine the latest stats being published in the NYT and carried far and wide.

The Bushies are barely keeping a lid on out and out military contempt for this administration. Any letters to Stripes at this point are an exercise in "cow tipping" only easier, now that Bush is the "cow."

downgraded with the base closings - recently conducted a survey on "morale"

Let's just say - it wasn't pretty. They want to redo in a few months to "review" and "compare" the results. lolol

Fire Rummy?

Just a suggestion.

Those base closing are being handled with the same inept game plan as the Iraq invasion. It's a complete joke. Too bad so many lives are dependent on the whimsy of an idiot in office.

the other pieces are just aas damning on different policies and procedures, etc... Soldiers ROCK ON!

:patriot:

and a brave one at that, though not one Allison Barber is likely to be courting anytime soon for a staged telecommunication conference with Bush.

an indication of how many are separating from the military.

It's a problem, too, because the quickened pace of officer promotions leads to a lack of leadership training that comes with experience, and that has affected morale. There have been several letters to Stripes written by the enlisted ranks complaining about this.

happens all the time in the civilian world, but usually only makes people miserable, doesn't usually endanger lives

Think of all the taxpayer dollars that went into training officers who had planned to make the military a career but have since decided to get out because they hadn't banked on spending the rest of their military years deployed.

I look forward to Congressmembers, especially those with military experience, to step forward, as Rep. Murtha has, and truly support our military community. Read the following concerns and then lend a hand to do something about them. It took courage to write these letters. Show some courage in return and take action.

deserves a thread all it's own.

It helps dispel that notion that the military marches lock-step behind Bush.

I last posted the list, far and wide, after the staged communications stunt between Bush and a handful of military PR people. Shortly after, Rep. Murtha made his comments.

Who knows how many Congressmembers read Stripes letters on a daily basis, but when seen in bulk, these letters are unprecedented for this paper. The Stripes Morale Survey indicated so much military discontent a full two years ago, no one in Congress should be surprised at the current low reenlistment rates and plethora of Bush-bashing letters to Stripes.

:wow:

Seriously PM and let me know so I can kick it.

Excellent job and thank you very much.

I hope many are reading this.

heavily controlled battle zone. This is unbelievably good news.

going south. Chomsky wrote something on this years ago. How the rank and file became anti-war. It looks like it is happening again. :bounce:

of how they have been used and abused breaks through...

come back and don't deal with it. Hopefully most of them will plug into the anti-war culture

.... is comprised of knuckle-dragging idiots needs to read this. It is as good as any progressive could write because it is true.

Obviously he knows that is the end of his Military career.

Good to see that some soldiers are allowed to speak their minds, and DO IT.

what a set this guy has!
