any tears of American pride when Hueys mowed down RG ???

when we heard the generals speak of "softening the Republican Guard" prior to final infantry attack

any tears of pride then?
when perhaps 50-70% of the Iraqi Army members wanted to surrender?
but were prevented by their commanders?
RG numbered at least 500,000 in all
no way Jose did even half of them want to be there
evidence is coming in from deserters up north near Mosul
they surrendered after night after night of no sleep, bombardment day and night, and commanders with rifles pointed at their backs if they desert

Puff Magic Dragon: 70 bullets per second
used with Huey Helicopter gunships
similar weapons used with WartHog A-10's

why dont US Networks report that battlefield Iraqi deaths numbered between 75,000 and 100,000 ???
because we are not proud of our battlefield atrocities
that is why
we shredded them from the air, so as to minimize USArmy casualties
the five Arab Networks are reporting it
but US Networks carefully avoid it
they give lipservice to Arab TV reports of civilian casualties
but then we explain that away as a "necessary evil of war"

soon, the photographs might make their way into the media
war fatalies are 1000:1
this is not a testament to our superiority
IT IS A TESTAMENT TO OUR CRUELTY, DEHUMANIZATION OF THE ENEMY, AND OUR ATROCITIES

get the hanky out
your pride in this war makes me want to puke
you sound like a patriotic blind fool
our willingness to use Conventional Weapons of Mass Death Destruction will make post-war public relations with Arab nations utterly impossible

congratulations on a victory over a helpless enemy fighting with rifles pointed at their backs
utterly pathetic to feel pride in this war
this should have been fought with 2000 Special Forces working undercover or under the cover of darkness

NOT WITH CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS
the butchers of USMilitary killed the kidnap victims of the Butcher of Baghdad
and many human shields held before them

we have not only alienated the Other Arab World
we have alienated the Axis in Europe
outside the military operations, this war is an unmitigated disaster

any tears of pride over their Museum being destroyed?
after our countless promises to protect it?
this is about oil and airbases, you kneejerker
