In Training: Our Military : Casual Murderers, Monsters

Smart-Bombing Iraqi Families While They Sleep

A few quotes from the above:

"But the children you killed in Bayji have no worries anymore, and nor do their parents, because you killed them, too. Of course you were immediately defended by the mouthpieces of the US military machine, whose first reaction is to lie, just like their president, when faced with evidence that atrocities have been committed. And you, the strutting, Mission-Accomplished fly-boys, the cream of the aerial cream and the most marvelous of marvelous -- you are casual murderers."

"The pilot enjoys a wonderful video game when he swoops down and lets rip with his hi-tech toy. There's no opposition to his aerial games. He is in no danger whatever. He's been told to go kill anti-American ragheads and it's jet-jock heaven up there, going VrrrrreeeeuuuwhaWHEEEENG at a hundred rounds a second with his revolving Colty cowboy machine."

"How did you sleep last night, you conquerors of the sky? Have you ever seen a woman's head that was crushed by your bombs? And how about you, Lieutenant Colonel Johnson? Do you enjoy happy dreams? I don't see how you can, given the lies you have told and the destruction and death you try so ineptly to conceal. But perhaps the new type of US military officer is schooled to ignore the crushing of women's heads and the extinction of kids. They are only ragheads, so who cares?"

I don't think we'd get along. The author, Brian Cloughley, says he has background in the British and Australian Armies. He now lives in France. Just sayin'.
