"War is really messy and the lowly soldiers ultimately end up as a kind of moving meat locker for their superiors when they can't catch enough natives."

Hear Hear robinea!
War is s***,for sure.

BUT a war orchestrated and caused by lies and deception STRAIGHT FROM THE MOUTHS OF OUR LEADERS,and an invasion/occupation for oil and strategic geo-political bases is s*** on TOP OF S***!
It breaks my heart to see miitary recruiters hovering like vultures outside colleges and universities,looking for those who may be the MOST in debt,or whose direction is vulnerable,OR those feeling the most 'patriotic',or familialy obliged, to sign 'em up and ferry them to the front line in GI bill 'limos'(metaphorically).
They treat them like PRIME RIB STEAKS!
Then,when the soldiers have done their duty and time,in an area where questions of morality and RIGHT begin to hound their consciences,THE MILITARY COMES along and spits them out like chicken bones.
Prime Steak to chicken bones. Feeling like a hero to feeling worthless.
Even though the the politicians KNOW this invasion/occupation is A DECEIPTFUL SHAM,
they still allow our boys and girls to be ferried out to the front-line to undergo UN-NECESSARY physical,psychological and emotional and MORAL cruelty.
ALL FOR LIES!
And of course,in this Iraqi mess,our troops can consider themselves let off lightly,if they DO GET OUT on time.
The real hell is called "stop-loss"!
"Devine Punishment" Mr Bush and Mr Cheney! Keep looking over yer' shoulders boys!

This is an ultimate PTSD survivor film - where the victim overcomes his fear and forces open the truth about the war, the decision makers, the crimes and individual responsibility. He has a total right to compel the criminals (even sick old men, surrounded by their middle class families) to come clean...for the future generations in Japan and the world who are being fed the same propaganda glorifying war and conquest by an elite who will use the gullible and powerless to pursue their ambitions. I wish every nightmare-driven GI from the meatgrinder of Iraq could see this documentary and perhaps be moved to camp outside the offices of the mass propaganda machines who pounded the drums for war and then pursue the boot-licking officers and craven politicians who used the invasion for their own profit.
Of course the 'hero', a lone scrawny survivor from a hell-hole unit stationed in New Guinea, who managed not to be 'eaten' by his officers and comrades...would be a messed-up wannabe Yakuza missing his pinky and serving time for lobbing Pachinko balls at the Emperor...What do you want? Rambo? John Wayne? War is really messy and the lowly soldiers ultimately end up as a kind of moving meat locker for their superiors when they can't catch enough natives. Building an empire is clearly not an imperial tea ceremony!

"devine punishment", as he called it, may follow people of the likes of Kissinger as in the other documentary, we just watched.......

Imagine one very old man attacking another old man over events 40 years old. This truth seeker, main subject of this documentary is ruly off his rocker !
One more thing to live in fear of...devine retribution by a special messenger of a God.
more later..
