re: Fallujah: The untold story

How did him killing a "frickton" of "insurgence" serve you?

And I'm not debating that they didn't kill some generally nasty individuals, but how did that help you?

I'm a veteran myself, and this kind of blanket praise needs to stop. It's become religious worship. Did we lose all of our cognitive faculties? You don't just take stated purposes at their word ("protect our freedoms"), but you look at what is actually done. If the military was truly involved in the protecting our freedom, it would be surrounding Washington DC. They're the biggest threat to our freedom, not jihadist or foreign dictators.

The whole attitude that people have towards the troops is hypocritical. We value our freedoms outlined in the Constitution, so we support occupying other people's homelands, disarming them and searching their homes without warrants? How does that work? And what does one have to do with the other?

If you really support the troops, you would support stopping all of this imperialist, interventionist BS that's just a pit for money and lives. We've got veterans killing themselves every day because they're experiencing more combat days than any war since WWI, and seeing crap that no person is meant to see, like dead, blown up children.
