Here it is.........
If you're bothered by profanity don't read this........
I just got out of the Army, where I'd spent the last five years of my life dedicated to the War everyone has an opinion on but rarely know what the [ deleted; Ed ] they're talking about.
Everyone's got an opinion, but if you haven't been there don't voice it to someone who has. I'm sick of people telling me we shouldn't be there, or asking what's taking so long? or the worst we should just pull out.
Are you high?
I mean seriously you want to just pull out because you're sick of seeing it on T.V?.......
Yeah let's do that.....lets pull out and cut our throats twenty years down the road........I wish people would remember what those [ deleted. Ed] did to us 5 years ago. I wish people would realize what the fuck they'll do to us if we give them half a chance. We [ made Bin Laden mad...Ed.] in the 80's and twenty years later WHAM! on a Tuesday morning in September we got hit.
We pull out, and that place goes to hell, like it will.....Some kid is going to grow up, pissed off about how he watched some Shiite, or if he's a Shiite some Sunni, rape his mother and sisters and behead his father and beat him half to death. This kid, is gonna grow up, and he's gonna remember how the US started that war, and before the US his mother and father were alive.......he's gonna blame us for starting it and pulling out leaving the place to go to [ hell. Ed ] in which his whole family was killed in front of him.......
This kid is going to grow up with hate for America.......and he's going to meet someone with the connections and in twenty years of meeting more people like him, dedicating to destroying the US like they blame us for doing to them, he's gonna meet someone who can get him a backpack bomb........and I'm not talking about a [ deleted. Ed. ] C-4 and ball-bearing bomb....I'm talking about a backpack nuke.....enough to kill oh about 100,000 people instantly.......he's probably going to meet someone who can get oh say about 20 of these........and he's probably going to have atleast twenty friends that hate us as much as he does.......and their going to find their way over here, and they are going to blow themselves up and in the process destroy America...........
Think I'm being paranoid........Think about this.......
Iran is developing nukes........fact
Iran is backing the Shiites.......fact
Iran has an oil shield..........fact
Iraq has alot of oil...........fact
We can't touch Iran because if they stop producing oil, there will become a world defecit in oil....China and Russia buy oil from Iran......
If we pull out, Iran will take control of Iraq politically, thus controlling oil........Iran still continues to produce nukes
Iran is not producing ICBM's (intercontinental ballistic missiles)....Iran is producing small, mobile nuclear technology.......backpack bombs
Don't think so.....look how Hezbollah fights.......look at how Sadr's militia fights......they don't go toe-toe, there is no "military strategy" as deemed by tradional means........they blow themselves up to inflict maximum damage.....
Look how hard it is to keep illegals from crossing our borders.......think about how hard it would be to stop an illegal wearing a backpack........
Think about how devastating Katrina was........a natural disaster......Think about how [ screwed up. Ed.] we were in responding to it.........
Think about what a nuke would do.......the chaos that would of spread if it had been a nuke in New Orleans.........a backpack bomb won't kill an entire city....just most of it......and the rest will be chaos.......just like in N.O when most of the city had evacuated......
Think about that in twenty cities throughout the country.........
Now who's being paranoid????? Me?
or am I being realistic??????
Am I understanding the possibilities based on experience in how those [ deleted. Ed.] do business, and realizing the potential based on our current situation in the middle east?????
Think about that the next time you think we should just pull out.........
