| #4 Ever notice the difference in rhetoric when Arabs complain about what the Iraqis did to them, versus, what the Americans (allegedly) did to them? "The Iraqis, ran away with my passport. They abandonded us when all we wanted to to do was to die as martyrs. They are traitors. They deserve 10 Sadaams." Versus: "The Americans treated us like we were animals, not human beings. The food was bad. I had a skin problem from the climate. They swore at us and pushed us." (I'll leave it to the rest of you to figure out which set of complaints makes the liberals and neofacists upset.) My second point: I don't think we made it hard enough on them if they're willing to fight for Arabs again. But they're probably just shooting their mouths off. I think they probably had enough. (Maybe they want to fight again so they can get captured and get free food from the Americans, and some badly needed medical care. They were going there to die anyway. Maybe it's a gamble they're willing to take. You never know . . . ) Thirdly: It's my opinion, as a female keeping track of this whole thing, that the Arabs get completely freaked out because of the ACTUAL, REALIZED MASCULINITY, DISCIPLINE, and SENSE OF DUTY of the average American soldier--let alone the exceptional American soldier. Our guys are cool, and I think that when these Arabs see our guys, they just can't believe it--what a psychological confrontation for Arab wannabe "men." It's a meltdown and they just start running off at the mouth. (Even our female soldiers are better than they are--that's gotta hurt). Kind of sad to be faced with something so entirely out of reach. Oh well. Sucks to be them. |
