The author doesn't give a shyte about the troops. To him they are just pawns to be used to tear down the President. Most of our troops over there believe in the mission, and the small minority who don't are either cowards or traitors who have infiltrated the military in order to weaken it from within. To the President I say forward, forward towards your noble goal, the realization of a benevolent Pax Americana. Then, and only then, when enough of our nation's enemies have been slaughtered like the animals that they are, shall we have peace. And yes, in case you are wondering, i am a Fascist and proud of it. Benign Fascism is the best form of government by far.
