I'm sorry to say this, but here it is: I do not support the troops

You've probably heard about this web site by now -- NowThatsFuckedUp.com -- as it's been in the news because U.S. soldiers in Iraq have been posting horrific war photographs to the site, in exchange for access to pornography.

(Onward Christian Soldiers . . .)

Well, have a look.


This is why sane people hate this fucking pro-military hero-worship bullshit -- praising the killers with unconditional love, as though they can do no wrong and are only "Armies Of Compassion," seeking only to do good works like Jesus and to help children.

And to even criticize them is to be unpatriotic -- even a traitor.

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who supports this war is morally obligated to look at these photos (submitted by U.S./U.K. soldiers) and to read the comments.

"Dehumanization" doesn't do it justice. "Inhuman" doesn't cover it. "Evil" -- maybe.

I'm sorry to say this, but here it is: I do not support the troops.

There. I said it.

Call me a traitor if you like -- I really don't care at this point. Really.

Spend an hour or so on this site (the soldiers' photos, please, not the porn). Read the comments. Then have at me.

I do not support this.

Some of the comments:

"

Having said that, I'm going to weaken my words with a disclaimer: I know not every soldier is like this, and I know that they are brainwashed and trained to hate and kill, and this is the inherent nature of their situation and a predictable consequence of military occupation of a foreign country . . .

But that's not enough for me. And "I was just following orders" is not enough for me.

If there is a Hell, Satan's working overtime to build the 10th floor. And every person who takes delight in murder and mutilation, dismemberment and spattered blood, and charred corpses . . .

"If there is a Hell, I'll see you there."
