Good Lt. at My Pet Jawa makes a sharp observation:
[I]t is becoming more and more evident that the left doesn’t give a sh*t about the Troops when they’re alive building schools, restoring electricity, providing medicine or food or water, sacrificing themselves for each other and for the Iraqis, etc. Only when they’re dead to the become important to the left. When they’re alive, they’re taking part in a mass genocide for oil, profit and hegemony. When the Troops are alive, they’re participating in the greatest injustice ever exacted on a people, they’re killing millions of innocent Iraqis in the dead of night for fun, they’re murdering puppies, and they’re disgracing the American name. When they’re alive, they’re lost children who need the Great Parent of the Democrat Party to “speak for them” and cut their funding. When they’re alive.
When they die, that’s when the real fun begins. . .
And in this way, the military is not honored, not respected, not even treated like human beings doing a dirty and dangerous job. They’re objects to be used in a propaganda war which, whether intended so or not, gives strength to our enemies.
