OT and Tiger Thom


Jul 2, 2009, 2:31 PM

I would like to start out by saying I think you two are despicable. Better men than either of you two will ever be have died to make sure you can live your life free from fear. The only reason you are able to peacefully lay your head to rest at night is because better men than you stand ready to do horrible things to anyone who would try and harm you. I think both of you would should have joined the military if you care as much about the constitution as you both claim you do. You guys just love fighting this war behind your computer, so why dont you get out and do it in real life.

I actually fought in this war. I got in many firefights and killed a few people during my time in Baghdad, I didnt hide behind the walls of a FOB like so many others. I have actually dealt with Al Qaeda in Iraq and many other terrorist groups and I find it to be the biggest of jokes that you want to talk about morality when it comes to fighting a war.

Let me tell you a little bit about morality. On a hot summer day in June of 2005 I watched from an observation post as over 20 headless and mutilated bodies were pulled from the Tigris river. I was there when a suicide bomber blew up a soldier surrounded by a group of children and killed or wounded all but a few. I saw the half charred body of a young child lying on the street after a car bomb that was supposed to take out the foot patrol I was in detonated prematurely. I have seen the torture chambers where Saddam's men brutally tortured innocent people. I have seen all of this with my own eyes and it is sickening to see men who call themselves Americans get their panties in a twist when we waterboard someone to try to get intel to stop things like that from happening. You claim waterboarding is as bad as brutalizing and beheading someone, and I am here to tell you it is not.

I love how everyone is all about supporting their troops until it comes to actually doing just that. The fact that you asked is it OK for the captured GI to be tortured is enough for me to realize that you would sacrifice a soldier if it would further your political ideals and that sickens me.

If you call yourselves Americans, then I am ashamed to be one.
