I'm just glad we're fighting them over there - God knows I don't want to fight 'em over here. If Iraq hadn't attacked us on 911, we wouldn't have had to drive Al Queda out from under Saddam Hussein's quid-pro-quo protection in Iraq. The thing that really pisses me off is when the press reports on all the deaths of solidiers and the small handful of thankful Iraqi citizen-patriots who die as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, but leave out all the great things happening over there. All the success stories. All the lollipops and laurels and rosebuds thrown upon the freshly razed ground where cherubic children come to play and laugh at our Divinely victorious feet.

charlatan: i would say a small difference is that the DoD is not, obstensibly, a private company. They are a wing of our government, and as such theoretically shouldn't be selling me a military product. I simultaneously think this is a huge issue, and yet I'm not surprised by it at all. Duplicity is expected at this point, which is a sad thing and makes me feel more jaded as time goes by.
