1,000,000 Dead - Thanks bush

We had that same statement on our bunker in the rear AO. here it is in use again 40 years later. We only saw the rear AO every 15 to 20 days for maybe 3 days.
hummmmmm fact is we as humans haven't learned a thing in that time. Ask Whom gets us in this mess and Why?
But the developments of the land warrior is clearly inproved. Man the equipment they have now over what junk we used in the Nam. Bush has spent some $ well.
And the number of deaths. Like in 5 years in the jungles of Nam, there were around 40,000 or around that number. Look at the fact i 5-7 years in two countries an dthe nmbers are under 2,000. As a grunt I know that sonds real good.
Yes war is not healthy for the creaters God, created or his grand work humans (he might of failer to see how Free Will of Choice, was a bad choice on His part. Which I really doubt. I like the idea He, might enjoy a joke)
But He, told us it would be happening in many places and even His, return would be the final battle. Gosh I love being alive now, in this time period.
Besides we don't count for squat on th etopic. The manchne just slowly grinds away like our HWY bridges. lol

Yeah...and he also caused the first Persian Guld War. :gotsearch:

Thanks I got mine on my birthday in 1966. I would have done 20-30 years like my father and you. But the Nam, opened my eyes. Being Westmorelands rapid development force and having a major from the Quartermaster Corps as our troop commander made me realize war (at that time) was an officers retention program. He got several men killed and half a dozen wounded. before he was blown away! Just so he might not get passed over for promotion and be forced to retire.

So did you ever get a chance to serve in the 173 ABN BDE. (SEP) Or was Bragg your stomping ground?

I gave my wife my blood wings. Later on she had them made into a ring for me on one of our anniversary. I still wear them. She passed away in Feb. 2006.
I notice I forgot to use my spell checker on that last post. When I went to school girls took typing and boys took wood/metal shop. lol
I did a great belt hanger. lol

Evidently, he had bigger cojoneses than Dubya....he kept all the factions in line...they didn't f...around with him, did they? Dubya made a big photo op , last week, in Iraq...didn't stay long, did he? Had a quick lunch, and got the hell out of there? Why? Everything is improving...why, that Anbar province sheik that got blown to bits, a week after meeting with Bush, is evidence that ain't nothing secure or changed...and Americans are dying for nothing...so Bush can prove his manhood...I'm sorry but that ain't reason enuf to die...nothing can be won...we gonna realize that sooner or later....the choice is about whether or not pride is worth dying for...it's the Vietnam War times 10.

I find this rather offensive. Shall I report you?

No, Airborne. I was a 'five-jump cherry'. I was knocked unconscious on my first landing, but faked it to make it through the rest of Airborne School with a serious concussion (sp). Then, on my last jump, I broke all the toes in my left foot. I decided then my days of parachuting were over. I did get the badge and qualification, however, and wore those wings proudly for the rest of my career. I was a Fort Benning fan.

What a racist comment....how do blacks figure into the equation of the Iraqi War?
Black on black crime, in any urban setting, is a concern..and the root causes are myriad. Certainly, it is a problem which the black community as a whole has to address...without snide remarks from disinterested parties, who, no doubt, "gloat" at the idea. Yet, I'm deemed "a racist" for pointing out the obvious "racism' in others...Stop making race an issue, and it will be a non sequitur.
Millions dead.....yeah, Bush and Co.'s fault....no question.

Saddam didn't put up with this kind of ****. He was an asshole, but he kept these people in line. I wish we could un-hang somebody.

Yeah 1million dead is Bush's fault right? Because Iraqis arent offing eachother in greater numbers than black on black in south central los angeles.

It is not racist to point out a statistical fact. If you think it is, and it hurts your feelings, you should probably end your online tenure immediately.


You might want to go back and check your statistics....propaganda is not factual. Oh, and don't think you have the power to hurt anyone's feelings...though you possess the power to repeatedly embarrass yourself...which you have done.
May I remind you of your vicious and vile insinuation :
" Yeah 1million dead is Bush's fault right? Because Iraqis arent offing eachother in greater numbers than black on black in south central los angeles."

'Black on black' crime is problematic for the black community-at- large, and a phenomenon that we, as black people, must address as a community. For you to equate that with the genocide and murder and mayhem being perpetrated on the Iraqi and Afghani people, forcing a "western-styled" democracy on an unwilling populace, with the puppet strings being pulled by Washington...is to carry hyperbole to the extreme.
The ethnic cleansing, factional fighting and jockeying for position and power is no way comparable to black relations in South Central Los Angeles. You, obviously have been watching too many editions of The O'Reilly Factor.
I doubt, seriously, that you even know any "black people", on a "personal" level. If you did, and you said what you have said here, you might have found a fist upside your head...in fact , I dare you to go anywhere there are any "black people" in numbers, and say what you have said....you won't ...because you already know what would be in store. Easy to hide behind a screen and issue verbiage, which wouldn't rank any higher than "truckers talk", outside of Meridian Mississippi.


Bush's Fault again, Aaron you cannot be serious, you MUST be playign devils advocate JUST to get a rise out of people.

I have much better things to do that to seek some kind of morbid satisfaction out of "getting a rise out of people".....Honestly, I can't think of anything worse than George Bush. Really...besides being a poor excuse for a human being...a liar, and a downright moronic criminal...he, single-handedly, has caused the death of thousands of human beings, making 9/11 "pale" in comparison. American life is not more valuable than any other life...we're human first, and nations seconds, if not third or fourth or fifth. I'm sure many will disagree...which is their right.

So all the killing before Either Bush was president, was GW's fault too.

If this sentence made any sense, I might be able to answer it...but I realize you have a problem being clear and concise.

I will stop making race an issue when RACE is NO LONGER an issue.

with not a thought or care for the total genocide of some Muslim Clans that will ensue once the troops leave.

is it really such a bad thing? as far as i'm concerened, let them kill each other off, and all our middle east problems will be over with.


of course, that's not "christian" of me, now is it? :lightbulb:

I feel that way when I hear another Canadian or US lad is killed trying to help the Afghanie/Iraqie people. It's like they have no loyality to those that want to aide them, and they refuse to help themselves. They steal and loot aide to sell on the black market and then lament on camera for CNN and CBC and BBC that their children are starving so they have to sell their little girls for cash (female children are used as currency in Afghanistan).

Is it worth it, I just don't know.

For the record here's the current death toll, contrary to propaganda from the left. A million spare me the tripe and manure I already own two composters.
