"The American military, from top to bottom is a hideous blight on our 
planet. There are no innocents in this massive killing machine. There's no 
'honour' in volunteering for the worlds largest terrorist organization." --  
Ingmar Lee

"We hold brutal killers like John Wesley Hardin or Charles Manson in the 
lowest regard, but the difference between these killers and military troops 
is semantic and symbolic. It's time to address the issue of the troops with 
the brutality it richly deserves. It's time to deconstruct the myth of the 
glorious military adventure. It's long past time we shame people who think 
about military service." -- Brandon J. Snider

"Patriotism is a pernicious, psychopathic form of idiocy." -- George Bernard 
Shaw

Myth of the brave soldier
By Mickey Z.

There are many who identify themselves as "anti-war" who will vigorously 
defend the troops. Even when faced with documented evidence of criminality, 
Americans still cannot summon the bravery to condemn the military. The 
excuse-making typically touches on these two areas: 1. They were just 
following orders; 2. Those who enlist do so for economic reasons. The first 
line of defense--whether Americans truly buy that line or not--is a flawed 
argument.

Donald Rumsfeld: The War Crimes Case
Marjorie Cohn, Jurist Legal News & Research

Prosecuting a war of aggression isn't Rumsfeld's only crime. He also 
participated in the highest levels of decision-making that allowed the 
extrajudicial execution of several people. ... He sanctioned the use of 
torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, which are grave breaches 
of the Geneva Conventions, and thus constitute war crimes.

U.S. Liberals: "Useful Idiots"
Edward Herman, Mostly Water

Israel has been ethnically cleansing Palestinians, assaulting them with 
their vastly superior military power, building a racist society, and 
violating international law and International Court decisions for decades, 
yet instead of focusing on the primary victims A-G express concern only for 
the oppressors. There is not a word about any Palestinian rights to be free 
of military assault, land and water theft, and racist discrimination.
