I'm getting a bit tired of reading over and over about how soldiers in Iraq lack "the proper armor". Simply put, all the outrage by progressive types about the "lack of armor" only keeps fueling a RECURRENT FANTASY in the American imagination: that, one day, "with the proper armor" we'll be able to fight wars WITHOUT CASUALTIES.
WAKE UP, PEOPLE!! No matter how much fucking armor the soldiers get, they're going to get killed ANYWAY, cause, um, that's the fucking, horrible, unavoidable nature of war. To think otherwise is to nurture sanitized views of war which only help perpetuate war.
So, instead of insisting that soldiers "get the proper armor", we should make it simple: GET THE FUCK OUT OF IRAQ! That's really THE ONLY way people will stop getting blown to pieces.
