Support the Troops- Because It's Damn Sure George Bush Doesn't

The average age of a graduating American Marine is 19. During their boot camp training, they are effectively brainwashed and taught the finer points of killing without remorse, or "for fun" as many of them have described it. While officially classed as "men", when we factor in dire state of the American education system of which they are a product, the recruits are in fact little more than children, albeit trained killer children.

Small wonder then that, when let loose on the streets of Iraq with a gun and a Humvee and told to "go get some bad guys" by their President, these gun-toting children should end up killing and torturing indiscriminately, and in doing so, stoke the flames of hatred and anger among the Iraqi people.

Of course, we realise that any American soldier that commits acts of unspeakable horror on the battlefields of Iraq cannot be held fully accountable for his misdeeds. If it were not for the elitist social policies, dehumanising military policies, Orwellian education policies and the fascist propaganda of US government officials, there would be far fewer impoverished, dumbed-down, aggressive and wholly deceived teenage American boys to sign up to fight the wars for profit of their so-called leaders.
