Uncovering Pentagon Bullshit

If you were not in the Army within the last six years you may have not known about the kind of hatred and resentment the majority of us, or at least those I served with, towards PFC Jessica Lynch. There was a good amount of us who thought she should be charged with treason for not continuing to fight when she was still able. The truth is finally coming out about what happened to her.

I will say she redeemed herself a little bit in my eyes, she was willing to testify before Congress about yet ANOTHER story the Army made up to get public opinion on their side. The so called rescue was not as daring as they would have let you believe and is just another example of the kind of bullshit the Pentagon has fed the U.S. since 9-11. Do I have issue with her taking full advantage of the situation at the time, yeah I do but the level of deep seated hatred I used to have for this woman has been put to rest. I can respect the fact that she finally came forward with the true account of what actually happened that night in Iraq.

Though at least her family hasn't had to endure the amount of bullshit the Tillman family has. In a sense I know why the DoD and Army did what they did, Pat Tillman was their greatest recruiting tool, he was their poster child of patriotism and he was killed by fratricide. So a person you are posing as a hero needs a hero's death, I get that in a sense. At the same time and I do not agree with it in the slightest, especially lying to his family. Hell, his own brother was in the same platoon and they lied to him.

Then the audacity of some people in the military is down right disgusting. A Colonel gave a ESPN interview which Pat Tillman's mother spoke of yesterday. If you don't know about this, check out this shit:

Kauzlarich, now a battalion commanding officer at Fort Riley in Kansas, further suggested the Tillman family's unhappiness with the findings of past investigations might be because of the absence of a Christian faith in their lives.

In an interview with ESPN.com, Kauzlarich said: "When you die, I mean, there is supposedly a better life, right? Well, if you are an atheist and you don't believe in anything, if you die, what is there to go to? Nothing. You are worm dirt. So for their son to die for nothing, and now he is no more — that is pretty hard to get your head around that. So I don't know how an atheist thinks. I can only imagine that that would be pretty tough."

Asked by ESPN.com whether the Tillmans' religious beliefs are a factor in the ongoing investigation, Kauzlarich said, "I think so. There is not a whole lot of trust in the system or faith in the system [by the Tillmans]. So that is my personal opinion, knowing what I know."

I am astounded and disgusted that a military leader would say something like that. People's beliefs have zero to do with how long they recover from a tragedy, especially one that an institution has consistently lied to them about. They have repeatedly said that they merely want to know THE TRUTH but apparently that is far too challenging for our military to give to us in this day and time. We have always been at war with Eastasia and you shall support our troops as we continue our fight against Eastasia, our enemies since time began.
