ROADKILL SALAD

ALOHA 2U,
feelin miserable today, ran outta my iron pills, plus recent rapid weather changes are playing havoc with my sinusitis  SIGH...here we go.

ROADKILL
ANYONE ELSE THING ITS ODD TO CHARGE SOLDIERS WITH MURDER DURING THIS INCREASED DRONE ATTACKS ERA?

Military Brass invented the term COLLATERAL DAMAGE  to explain away the death of innocents, so now some soldiers go ROGUE  and "kill for sport" (Blackwater Style) then suddenly everybody's panties are in twist. HUGE SIGH.
they took trophies ( fingers & bones mostly)  and Lots of digital pix which the Brass is trying to scoop up before the locals see them..this savagery is being blamed on opium laced hashish and OTC pills distributed like free tix at a church raffle, the BBC showed images of thousand (?) pill baggies sent out to troops to..keep them awake?
since the UNITED STATES OF AMNESIA has NO collective memory i will recall for you how GI JOHNNY did much the same in 'Nam ,another war "we" lost, they took drug..potent pot laced with heroin and then they went My Lai on their lil yellow asses.KORAK THE KILLER and another Nam vet THE LONE GUNMAN both tokk multiple tours of Nam and said that My Lai, which is a common place name like Springfield, was the Norm not the Exxception  and one told a tale of having their Beer Dump mortared one night and the next morning they went out and killed hundreds in revence.
Genr,Sherman said in our Ciivil War "WAR IS HELL." and this was before the invetion of Napalm but after Greek Fire (go Wiki)...the unofficial motto of our Marines is "WE BREAK THINGS AND KILL PEOPLE.". SOLDIERS ARE TRAINED TO OVERCOME THE NATURAL RELUCTANCE TO KILL PEEPS WHO HAVE NOT PERSONALLY PISSED YOU OFF.

DAMN Caps key keeps sticking on my new keyboard...where was i?

NATURAL BORN KILLERS?

oh yeah, Killing...during WWII the ratio of men who actualy fired their rifles lethally was about 4 or 5 out of ten,despite their rushed bloodthirsty training, many soldieers went thru the entire war with thir rifles pristine from last of use-which the Brass observed when these gooies were turned in later.

how did the Brass solve this??? THE MILITARY INVENTED EARLY VIDEO GAMES SHOWN TO THE TROOPS..FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS MOSTLY.in Nam the Kill Ratio was much much higher, often 8 or 9 outta 10.SUCCESS....IT IS TO WEEP.

IN NAM SOLDIERS ALSO TOOK TROPHIES, MOSTLY EARS, WHICH THEY SENT HOME TO GIRLFRIENDS AND FAMILY WITH PRIDE...THEY HAD BECOME THAT BATTLE HARDENED, there it goes again...
Korak The Killer was in the Marines and at the Seige of Khe Sanh (sp?) he lost count of how many peeps he killed NVA-North Vietnam Army, and Chinese too in their own uniforms....KORAK was not a doper.another GI i met, Army, told of sentries around his Firebase being found in the morning with their throats cut and the heroin laced joint still in their teeth,despite seeing this he himself took a few AK rounds while stoned in sentry duty, i saw the scars from where the VA has take muscle to rebuild his shattered shoulder.SIGH when i met him in LA he was still a doper...

take a second to look at the SIDEBAR QUOTES AGAIN, i'll wait......

meanwhile the allegedly bipolar Karzai is having a public meltdown  while his allegedly dope dealing brother Walid is Afghanistan's first Billionaire as NATO (mostly US) troops Surge into the fertile Kanadhar Valley..

what makes us so Arrogantly think we can fix a corrupt deeply flawed and broken Afghanistan when we can't even fix our own damn country?.
ONE SENATOR, ONE BIASED FOOL IS HOLDING UP $1.6 BILLION IN AID TO THE DESPAIRING HAITI BECUZ HE THINKS HE FOUND $500 MILLION IN PORK...WTF?

iam too exhausted to be angry right now, it this how it feels...
is this how it felt to be an isle of relative sanity amidst a sea of incompetence,greed and corruption?
is this how it felt when Rome finally fell?
the heartsick anxiety and dread of a situ that gets worse and worse everyday?

PAUL KRUGMAN is still sounding the trumpet about how D.C. has given up on millions of the working wounded, the former middle class, BBC NEWS shows heartbreaking stories about peeps who went from biz owners to welfare in four months, while the DIMO/PUBLICANS natter about saving Tax Cuts for the Uber Rich, they are the new crazed Nero fiddling while Rome burns merrily merrily merrily  HUGE EXHAUSTED SIGH.

does O BOMBER consider us too all Collateral Damage???

BTW saw the first debate betwixt MegaBucks Meg and Turkey Jerky Brown..SIGH, name your poison?
i think, ion these dark days, that both KALIpornia and the UNITED STATES OF AMNESIA have reached a Tipping Point..that instant you see just before something precious falls from a shelf to shatters into tiny splinters.
IT BREAKS MY HEART...
