    They are using you to benefit themselves. As long as you know this you can make smart decisions, but if you kid yourself into believing the propaganda you could easily get yourself dead just to make some other guy richer.



    Keep your head down son.
    Considering the context of this thread, you're the one that sounds like an idiot.

    I agree with a lot you say. Hence why I said he shouldn't worry about the "why". That would just depress him.



    In stead of thinking about politics and other crap he should focuss on staying alive. You have fun in your safe ivory tower and have fun judging people you don't know.



    Perhaps he shouldn't believe the propaganda, but on the other hand, if it keeps him sane, then why not.

    I hope he's going to a quiet area and has the chance to make a minor difference for some iraqis, but I'd rather see him come back in one piece, without post traumatic stress disorder.



    Then later on he can think about the "why".



    EDIT: Of course he should take care of himself first and foremost. Nothing's worth your life.

    If you're going to Iraq then you better believe every bit of what they say or else you're going to be one drepressed mofo if reality hits. It's a survival mechanism.

    He's not an idiot, he's just young and naive. War, and being in one, always seems cool to the young...it's like an adventure. It's not an adventure, of course, but a hideous nightmare of lies and mangled bodies.



    Our mission in Iraq is to make a bunch of rich white guys richer, period. Agreed...but it's far more sinister than just them getting richer! It's about world domination and the complete subjugation of the human race...period! They will fail, of course, and they will be destroyed...but not before they have slaughtered hundreds of millions and caused great agony to billions more in the process.



    And if you get killed or injured in the process, well that's just fine with them. Agreed.



    Don't kid yourself that we are there to free the Iraqi people, or that we are there to fight terrorists. We aren't. Agreed...Let's not forget that Osama Bin Laden was, and still is, a CIA asset and that al-Qaeda was founded and equipped using US taxpayer $.

    We are there to secure some of the largest oil fields left on earth. Agreed! But don't forget about the huge natural gas fields in Afghanistan and throughout the entire region! I should also mention Afghanistan's other main export...Heroin. Heroin production in Afghanistan has never been greater than since the US/NATO occupation began! Hmmm...you don't suppose that the CIA, or some other nefarious US government agency, is actually manufacturing heroin in Afghanistan and cocaine in Columbia and Peru and then selling it in the US and Europe and using the illicit proceeds (which would be, for all intents and purposes, totally secret) to fund the "New World Order" in it's quest for world domination, without Congress or the American people ever knowing anything about it...do you?

    Nah, can't be...oh, wait!



    Oil fields that George Bush will profit from, as will Dick Cheney = Halliburton...Don't forget about the Carlyle Group!



    ...but you, the guy who puts his butt on the line, will not. Why should he? If he puts his butt on the line because his head is full of propaganda that's on him.




    They are using you to benefit themselves. As long as you know this you can make smart decisions, but if you kid yourself into believing the propaganda you could easily get yourself dead just to make some other guy richer. Agreed! But, again, it's about much more than just money...Snakey, along with every other US troop, will be used as a tool to spread fear and misery

    throughout the world and to achieve the New World Orders ghastly hegemonic dream...under the guise of freedom of course.



    Keep your head down son.

    Good luck to you Snakey! Don't forget to buy your own body armor as the US government will only issue you the most worthless piece of shit body "armor" you'll ever see! I would suggest getting Dragon Skin, it's expensive, but it'll save your ass...err, at least most of it! Too bad you can't take your own weapons with you as the US military has some of the worst on earth.



    Gosh, for a military that is lavished with an annual budget that far exceeds the military expenditures of all other nations on earth, they sure do have a lot of worthless junk! Kinda makes ya wonder where all that money is really going...doesn't it?

    I don't feel bad for people like you though, because you're willfully ignorant...you float from thread to thread in some kinda semi-conscious delusional stupor (whether it be from huffing Dust-off or drinking aftershave) commenting on things you obviously know nothing about. But whenever someone confronts you on an issue you come back with more of your own junk "thinking" and wild accusations.



    The draft is coming and there's no way that someone with your obvious deficit's is ever going to be able to escape it...



    Good bye!

    You're so obviously a puppet. You are one of the minions of the tin foil hatters, as you are unable to disprove me.



    i have nothing? How can I possibly have something? You think any self-respecting evil conspirator, bent on global domination will leave obvious traces? Like actually using detectable explosives that produce a flash, or use a missile to down the pentagon, or whatever crap...



    My evil antichrists are at least smart enough to hide their conspiracy a whole lot better than your pseudo's who don't even think about actually using islamic terrorists to stage an islamic terrorist attack.

    This makes my conspiracy by default more credible than yours.



    BTW, you do not know because you link.

    Wow, I really appreciate the defense.

    Why am I stoked? It's not because I think it's cool, it's not because I'm young, it's because you got two options: You can think of it as a soldier or you can think of it as a civilian.

    I'm fucking terrified as a civilian, but I'm excited as hell as a soldier. I focus on the soldier part because it's better for you. That's not being an idiot, that's what some of you older guys would call "Gung Ho". Everyone's afraid. I know people who were literally minutes from being vaporized by car bombs. One guy was doing a checkpoint for 12hrs and when he was replaced and going home, he was 1mile away when his exact spot got hit by a carbomb and his replacement was vaporized because he was standing right next to the car when it went off. Checkpoints are between two 15-20ft concrete barriers and it only fits two cars. The other car in the barrier was launched half a mile away... what was left of it anyway.

    So, yeah. I'm scared. By to focus on the bad part is just stupid. You have to focus on the part of being a soldier.

    But, of course I'm not really scared of death per say. I'm afraid of coming back missing something or seeing one of my friends get hurt. I don't understand the fear of death tbh, everything dies... the act of dieing though is another thing. I don't like pain. lol.

    You also need to remember that it's not as bad as news makes it out to be. The News is a TV Show like Seinfeld, they give people what they want to see. Good things are not entertaining. Ppl dieing and explosions are.

    I would suggest turning off your TV and walking out from under the shelter you live under called the US.

    The world is nothing like what it is in the US. People are afraid to realize that, but it's true.

    And as far as body armor goes, ours is top of the line of there. At first the armor was sub par, but now it's very good. I know alot of people who have bit shot and hit by IEDs who walked away unscaved.

    But like I said, turn off your TV and go learn what the world is really like.

    PoopyPants, sir, I think I love you.

    It's always cool to meet someone who's in the know of how rediculous the Bush administration is.

     

    I don't think I'd ever want to be a soldier. The fact of death doesn't sway me, it's the other war effects. Loosing eyesight from being too close to a gernade, limbs flying off, paralyzed, loosing hearing from gunshots. I guess it's because I'm a musician. Imagine being drafted and then serving my 3 years, coming back blind and deff. I wouldn't have a job. And then you have the messed up life afterwords from the extreme training and watching all your friends and soldiers in your division die. I can't imagine having war flashbacks...

    I love how liberals can go around talking about supporting the troops, then as soon as one says that he's about to be shipped to Iraq they take it as a chance to talk about how much they hate the war, and how foolish people are who want to serve the country.  You liberals are so damn cute with your hypocrisy sometimes.

    "Oh but we can still support the troops without supporting the war!"

    Quite true...but how does telling a guy that he is stupid for wanting to go qualify as supportive?  Snakey shouldn't have to defend himself in this thread, but he has to anyway...why?  Because you liberals will take any chance that you can get at taking pot shots at Bush and this war, no matter what the expense.  You don't care about Snakey's morale or the attitude with which he will be going into Iraq, no, all you care about is getting your hatred for Bush out.  You're all disgusting.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

But really, I'm not even MOSQ'd for that because I was planning on contracting with ROTC but I turned it down to deploy with my friends, and the fact that I want to deploy.

    So, I may end up being 11B (Infantry) when I go. I'm in the 39th Infantry Brigade. Not really sure. Don't really care. If I do go as 11B I'm going to try and get in my best friend's company and hopefully even into his squad.

    I would actually rather be 11B than 88m. 88m's have the most casualties of any MOS. But, my unit was the same unit I was with when we were signal, all our jobs just changed... so I'm pretty close to them.



    All of the acronyms and numbers made me laugh. I read your post and was still like "huh?" Now I know how my wife feels when I talk to her about my job. :)

    Oh, and stay safe man and thanks for being there for us!

    I love how you tried to insult me. Didn't really work out. Let's call it a pseudo-insult, shall we? What does that make you? (honest question)



    Generalizations are only true if you take into account everyone about whom the generalization is. So you'd have to know all liberals...



    Unless you went to hell (should be full of them over there, right?) you're not able to form that opinion and call it true.

        Forget politics, because when it comes down to the reality of it, whether you support or don't support certain political affairs, deep down, those affairs still involve people, people who are making a sacrifice that neither I nor many others have the same guts to do.



        So, I'd like to say thanks for the sacrifice, and I hope all goes well, and you're still apart of the MMORPG community for years to come.







         Good luck.
    Sounds like a liberal to me. Or at least someone who doesn't agree with the war...

    And he/she made a pretty good point.

    If you would actually listen to some of those "liberals" (anyone here actually say they were liberal?) then you'd might have to change your views, in stead of calling for [texan accent] eternal daaaamnation on their cursed souls[/texan accent].



    Ah hell. Snakey shouldn't think about us and what we think. We're just a bunch of spoiled internet warrions (well, most of us) who probably won't ever be in mortal danger thanks to their fellow man or will never experience their balls retreating and that slow motion feeling of true mortal fear.

    Snakey should think about his family, his friends and most importantly himself. It's not in our heads it has to happen, it's in his.

    Buddy, MadAce already said it, but Generalizations are real bad.

    There are one, maybe two people on here who are attacking him, and you're pulling out the AoE attacks against Liberals, despite the fact that quite a few of them have said supportive things towards him. You're ignoring the good, and taking the small amount of bad, expanding it to make it seem like its the sole  view of a whole bunch of people who respectfully disagree with some of your opinions. You're doing exactly what you said in your post, only you're not pushing a hatred of Bush, or the war, but a hatred of Liberals.

     

    Snakey, supportive or not of what this War is about, I'm rooting for you, and everyone else out there doing something I don't have the balls to.  I hope you and your buds (And everyone, for that matter) come back in one piece, safe and sound.

    Generalizations can be bad when they aren't true...I stated that there are liberals in this thread who are using Snakey's deployment as an opportunity to be shipped off to Iraq...do you disagree?  If you disagree then perhaps I should draw your attention to some posts made by Poopypants...I believe they can be found on the page before this one.

    Mad-ace...yes...I did indeed call you a pseudo intellectual.  I define a pseudo intellectual as someone who says things in a futile attempt to sound intelligent.  By your attempt to call me out on a generalization that I made, you are trying to point out a mistake on my part,  you miss the greater point at hand, simply because your wittle feewings were hurt because I said a liberal did something bad...oh how very evil of me.

    What I said was true, and despite your cries that generalizations aren't fair, I'm not going to change my post or apologize...Liberals in this thread used someone's else's service and good deeds to express their hatred for Bush, I called them out on it...does that make you angry?   Pardon me while I attempt to bring myself to care.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    I don't. However, this time you didn't phrase it as a glaring oversimplification/generalization. Good job.

    Mad-ace...yes...I did indeed call you a pseudo intellectual.  I define a pseudo intellectual as someone who says things in a futile attempt to sound intelligent.  By your attempt to call me out on a generalization that I made, you are trying to point out a mistake on my part,  you miss the greater point at hand, simply because your wittle feewings were hurt because I said a liberal did something bad...oh how very evil of me.
    What I said was true, and despite your cries that generalizations aren't fair, I'm not going to change my post or apologize...Liberals in this thread used someone's else's service and good deeds to express their hatred for Bush, I called them out on it...does that make you angry?   Pardon me while I attempt to bring myself to care.
    I never said generalizations are bad. You're not one of those people who believe in good and bad, are you? Well, if it makes life easier...

    I completely agree with saying that there are some people who abuse Snakeys deployment to get a point known to the world. And yes, it's sad. But I don't see how they're liberals. Fascists and communists have both used total governmental control. Does that make fascists communists and vice versa? I don't think so.

    And you might have noticed I tried to ridicule Poopypants, which is a little redundant since he does a fine job of doing that himself.



    I don't care what you think of me or what you say about me. Tho if you want to insult me I must say you're doing a pretty bad job. I give you permition (in case any mods/admins think otherwise) to give your best shot at insulting me. If you want, I can even fake you're hurting my feelings. Also, don't insult me by insulting liberals. I'm not a liberal. Nor am I anything else. And I also don't dislike liberals/republicans/whatever any more than I dislike other humans. It's a bit pathetic to judge millions of people whil you don't know them, isn't it? Tho I kinda feel sorry for people who are tied to one political ideology.

    So now you know some of my political ideas you can try to insult those. Have fun. Everyone should have a point in life, shouldn't they?



    I tried to point out:

    a) Generalizations are rarely right.

    b) Your generalization was wrong.

    c) You accused others of abusing this thread to get a political point out in the open, while you do the same.



    I wouldn't dream of you changing your post or admitting you were wrong. Perhaps I should look for a bible passage to get you to do that...



    And you don't make me angry. You're cute to you think you could actually make someone angry over the internet. Or cause any emotion whatsoever. Hey! Whatever makes you happy!

    Good luck to you Snakey! Don't forget to buy your own body armor as the US government will only issue you the most worthless piece of shit body "armor" you'll ever see! I would suggest getting Dragon Skin, it's expensive, but it'll save your ass...err, at least most of it! Too bad you can't take your own weapons with you as the US military has some of the worst on earth.
    Gosh, for a military that is lavished with an annual budget that far exceeds the military expenditures of all other nations on earth, they sure do have a lot of worthless junk! Kinda makes ya wonder where all that money is really going...doesn't it?



    I would suggest turning off your TV and walking out from under the shelter you live under called the US.

    The world is nothing like what it is in the US. People are afraid to realize that, but it's true.

    And as far as body armor goes, ours is top of the line of there. At first the armor was sub par, but now it's very good. I know alot of people who have bit shot and hit by IEDs who walked away unscaved.

    But like I said, turn off your TV and go learn what the world is really like.

    I don't own a TV...never have.



    I spent 10 years in the US Air Force and have lived, either TDY or semi-permanent, in 7 foreign countries. I don't need any "advice" from you youngster. Now blow!

    I wonder what you had in mind as a goal when you started insulting Snakey.
