The Left: Lovin' The Troops

I lifted this from Right Wing News...

6) mike_c: "no pride-- we should be ashamed of what they've (the troops in Iraq have) done...in our names, not proud of them. They've served as thugs and enforcers for a corrupt foreign policy. They've helped shatter a country already brought to it's knees by ten years of draconian sanctions and an invasion premised upon bald-faced lies. The've participated in a war of aggression that mocks international law. They've
murdered untold numbers of innocent civilians. Their occupation has created an
insurgency that threatens to consume Iraq in civil war, and causes the deaths of
additional innocents. They have destroyed homes and lives for no good purpose
whatsoever.
I am deeply ashamed of them. There is nothing noble about what they've done in Iraq. They have not served or defended us-- they served fascism.To those who inevitably argue that they had no choice but to commit these crimes, consider that this circumstance neither exonerates them under law, nor makes their actions admirable. Only blind alliegence-- the act of being a "good German"-- can raise pride in what they've done in Iraq."

This came from the comments section, and yes, I know it may or may not be representative of overall lefty goodness.

But from folks I talk to in cerulean Chicago, it's not on the fringe and that's a damn shame.

The left, loving the troops!
