This story is a sterling example:
No pun intended. From the Independent:
'God, I hate these people,' says the sergeant. Some utter the V-word: Vietnam
By Scott Wallace in Baghdad
20 July 2003
"Up yours, asshole," mutters Sergeant Ronald Black to an Iraqi youth who waves from the back of a passing motor scooter. The tedium is palpable as the sun beats down on Fallujah, a sweltering city of 200,000 mostly Sunni Muslim inhabitants 35 miles west of Baghdad which has become a flashpoint of local resistance to the coalition's occupation of Iraq. "God, I hate these people," he says.
But the sergeant reserves his most blistering remarks for US commanders, who recently announced that his Third Infantry Division will remain in Iraq until the autumn, several months beyond its originally scheduled departure. "We're being told to stay by commanders who just got here a month ago," he complains. "They haven't been here since fucking September like we have."
This is going to be extraordinarily unhelpful on several different levels. Wallace's joy will know no bounds when the Arabic press picks this up.
