Brass to Grunts: You're FODDER

The group of soldiers who refused a suicide mission to deliver tainted fuel will likely face disciplinary action, including possible courts martial.

This makes a lot of sense when you consider the assault on Fallujah likewise accomplished nothing--well, besides enraging Iraq and perhaps the entire Middle East (not to mention Muslims worldwide).

If the assault makes "good sense," why not punish men and women who had the temerity to think their lives are worth something?

You know, the wingnuts who support this war from their own front line position--the sofa in their living room (living on the civilian equivalent of C-Rations: Cheetos)--seem to LIKE this stuff. So, perhaps this is part of the overall "strategery" of the Bush administration: keep the casualties flowing. Why else would they throw people into battle without the proper equipment, which, as I've noted before, doesn't so much beg the question as it hollers it: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SPENDING $400 BILLION A YEAR ON, EXACTLY?

Because it sure as hell isn't going to the folks who actually need it.
