He had it coming

No wonder he couldn't cope.
No wonder anyone can cope with this "war".
Everyone's getting buggered; even our own military and the men who have chosen to figh a nebulous enemy for a nebulous war for nebulous principles.

For instance, this:
>"The military operates through indoctrination. Soldiers are programmed to develop a mindset that resists any acknowledgment of injury and sickness, be it physical or psychological. As a consequence, tens of thousands of soldiers continue to serve, even being deployed to combat zones like Iraq and/or Afghanistan, despite persistent injuries. According to military records, over 43,000 troops classified as "nondeployable for medical reasons" have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan nevertheless.

The recent atrocity at Fort Hood is an example of this. Maj. Nidal Hasan had worked as a counselor at Walter Reed, hearing countless stories of bloodshed, horror and death from dismembered veterans from the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. While he had not yet served in Iraq or Afghanistan, the major was overloaded with secondary trauma, coupled with ongoing harassment about his being a Muslim. This, along with other factors, contributed towards Hasan falling into a desperation so deep he was willing to slaughter fellow soldiers, and is indicative of fissures running deep into the crumbling edifice upon which the US military stands."

For the full article, and all you gung ho, George Bush and Sarah Palin fighting fans need to read this...a true report of what it's like to be a fighting soldier in todays' American army (quick, go hide your face in shame!)
