Well, summer is over and it’s time for the rested and tanned anti-war crowd to take to the streets again. IVAW has begun it’s seasonal mental masturbation with their Operation Recovery to Stop the Deployment of Traumatized Troops<\/a> – a worthy endeavor. Especially if the were a bit more specific about what is a “traumatized troop”.<\/p>\n

They say that Operation Recovery is “our effort to stop the deployment of troops suffering from PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Military Sexual Trauma. By signing our pledge, you agree to do what you can to help defend the rights of soldiers to heal and to hold accountable those who are responsible for deploying traumatized troops.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure that the military doesn’t want those guys deployed either. But there’s some yelling fire in a crowded theater going on from some members of IVAW. <\/p>\n

Like Ethan McCord, the soldier from the Wikileaks video who carried one of the wounded children to an aid vehicle. Since he that video was released, he’s made a real pest of himself. Like in this article<\/a> in which he said the military was engaged in something “reminiscent of ethnic cleansing<\/em>“. Perhaps “reminiscent of Jengis Khan” was the phrase you were looking for, McCord? <\/p>\n

In another article, McCord tells an ugly hippie chick that after the incident recorded in the above mentioned video, he told his squad leader that he needed help and his squad leader told him to get the sand out of his pussy. He doesn’t mention the name of the squad leader or the date of the incident. So we’re left with just McCord’s word. The way we’re always left with these goofballs. But the headline of the article is “Mentally injured troops used to murder children and women daily<\/a>“. Nothing left to figure out there.<\/p>\n

For one thing, the war that McCord left isn’t the same war. For another thing, unless he’s willing to name names and places about all of the mistreatment he endured from his commander, platoon leader, squad leader and whoever else he wants to implicate, I don’t place a bit of trust in a thing he says. And all of this non-specific tale-telling is going to get him in a bunch of trouble with those people someday.<\/p>\n

I’m positive there wasn’t an order to kill everyone in sight when an IED detonated on his convoy as he claims. I haven’t been to Iraq during the current war, but I’m pretty sure everyone in the world knows that when an IED explodes, everyone in your sight didn’t know it was going to explode, or they’d have taken cover before it did – so what’s the use in killing them?<\/p>\n

And if this unnamed squad leader did indeed tell him to get the sand out of his pussy, why hasn’t he done it yet?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
