Badass checklist:
A soldier in the most powerful military in the world: Check
A man who left behind loved ones to fulfill an oath of duty to the United States, its citizens, and its Commander in Chief: check.
To live and work and fight in a country with an inhospitable climate and an inhospitable culture: check.
I have an incredible respect for the men and women who serve our country, their sacrifice allows all of us to enjoy liberty.
However, when I watch this video I don't find it humorous, uplifting, or inspiring.
When I watch this video, it pisses me off.
Not because I think this soldier is unjustified in his anger and frustration, I can't even begin to imagine what those conditions are like, but because it reminds what a colossal injustice the American political system has done to our troops.
That culture is so, so ancient; the tribes their have been fighting each other for thousands of years. Their loyalty is to their tribe and not their country because, "Iraq" was a country created by the League of Nations in 1920 and thrust upon the people who live there. America, on the other hand is a nation created by the citizens who live here. That creates a type of loyalty that can't be garnered through some artifical title like "Iraqi police officer." I don't want to digress too much here but I guess the point I'm trying to make here is this:
Regardless of any political opinion about the justifiability if the invasion of Iraq, I figured the least we could have done was read a history book first. No solid plan to rebuild a post invasion infrastructure in a historically violent, tribal, tumultuous region puts our warriors in a position of frustration, helplessness, and downright rage. And that pisses me off.
