The Iraq Army sucks! Well can we just bring our troops home then?

In an assessment for a military journal, a U.S. Army officer who advised Iraqi troops concludes the goal of having Iraq control its security "will exceed" the new army's capability "for some time to come."

In an article for Military Review, Lt. Col. Carl D. Grunow wrote that "without steadfast American support, these officers and soldiers will likely give up and consider the entire effort a lost cause."

Grunow found and grappled with several problems during his experience.

One was what he called the Iraqi "death blossom," in which any enemy attack on the soldiers "provokes the average Iraqi soldier to empty his 30-round magazine and fire whatever belt of ammunition happens to be in his machine gun."

"Ninety percent of the time, there is no target, and the soldiers always agree that this is extremely dangerous, in addition to being a grievous waste of ammunition. But they continue to do it."

Well you know it only took our military like an hour and a half to defeat the Iraqis during the invasion, so what do we really expect from them? But in the meantime our resource are being wasted, our citizens are dying, and our military is crumbling, so what is the fucking point anymore?

Have you registered to vote yet? And I don't care if you think that your vote will not count or that your Republican Senator always wins, the more people who think like that the more true it becomes.

Just go vote and then hope that everybody else in your state has your sense of patriotism and maybe, just maybe, you will be surprised.
