Most soldiers mistake the word insurgent to mean a person that is inserted. As if we are fighting men from other countries than Iraq. When, insurgent means rebel.
The common GI won’t investigate why the insurgent will sacrifice himself, because most soldiers would never do the same. But somewhere in the back of the GI’s mind he has a sense that what he is doing here is wrong. It gives him doubt and discourages his morale.
The lifers hold on to the lies of the system because the truth would destroy the core of their beliefs. The fact that the stars and bars is only an illusion for the real power behind the throne could ruin their psyche and crash their egos. They will never let go of their pride and use it as an excuse to cover their fear.
A war backed by our nation’s cowards. What else would a preemptive strike be good for. Americans get so afraid they will kill in cold blood and thump their chests to claim it for a good cause.
