A Dying Veteran's Letter to Bush and Cheney

[Alexander's Horse]

one big difference is the US army is a national army so why the soldiers fight is explained and important to them.

This is not the case in the British army, and those who follow its model like the Australian army. They fight the Queen's enemies and it is not their place to know or care why. It makes things so much simpler.

In Afghanistan I was constantly taking appeals to patriotism or democracy or freedom or God out of speeches to Australian soldiers. They were there to fight for the honour of their regiments, to practice their trade, not for abstract concepts that I knew might trouble them later.

The very thing about the system is that it blames individuals when it is to blame. People like this are too blame, but he is presented as a hero. Bull****.

this is what happens when people bypass the autocensor ... we all become self-biased!

You can choose to be blind and to dream or not to dream.
