I  returned from Iraq in February 2006 and I still see the same lie being foisted upon you the American people as when I was in Iraq patrolling the mean streets of Baghdad. I have ridden first hand day by day either as gunner or driver in my Humvee for a year long tour of hell in Iraq where everyday you have to play Russian Roulette with your life. Imagine having someone place a 357 magnum pistol next to your head everyday and praying that it won't go off. Then you start to get a feel for what some of us soldiers feel who go out of the wire everyday in Iraq.

    Of course you always hear that we volunteered to defend our country and place our lives on the line well that it is true but what we did not volunteer for was to be slaughtered like sheep. Here's an example of what I mean :
Anybody who drives down the roads of Iraq through its cities and villages will pass by whole stretches of road where slaughter markets for sheep rebound. The stench from these slaughtered sheep is so strong sometimes that it is all one can do not to vomit when passing them. The passerby will see these poor sheep writhing and twisting in pain as their throats are cut and it is truly a pitiful sight as they slowly die with no way to defend themselves as their blood drains out in the street.
Well, the reason I had to bring up that whole example is to dismiss the criticism that we soldiers should die like sheep. But that's not the way it's going to be told to you the American people. What I have just told you is only the tip of the iceberg if you knew everything you would even redouble your efforts to get my poor fellow soldiers out of this grand lie foisted on us by grand infamous liars.
I am not going to stand by as an American citizen and let this happen I will not be that citizen who says he was just following orders as the Nazi war criminals stated at Nuremburg. I am for fighting the War on Terror and not hijacking it to enrich my personal corporate donor friends and lackeys.
Our country is under attack from terrorist without and tyrants within.
Abraham Lincoln was right in his 1838 speech when he stated that the greatest danger that this country could face wouldn't be from the enemies outside of our country but from domestic tyrants inside it.
Of course now there are those fellow American citizens who wish to do those of us violence for telling the truth. If they carry out these acts of violence against us: the People who wish to bring back our soldiers from this lying hell in Iraq then they are no different from the foreign terrorist who tried to kill me and my fellow soldiers in Iraq. The only difference will be that they will have become domestic terrorist instead of foreign ones in the vein of Timothy McVeigh.
The people that I follow are those who made our country an even better democracy through non-violence and the fact that "Right" was on their side, people such as Dr. Martin Luther King and Caeser Chaverz.
