19. Seems to me what they're upset about
Is the American people knowing that the soldiers are p-i-s-t mad about sitting around in the desert, watching while their comrades are getting picked off and ambushed.

Certainly the people doing the killing in Iraq know they're being successful when another body gets covered over.

The overseas media know what's going on, and they report fully to their readers, listeners and viewers all over the world.

The soldiers know something's up when someone doesn't come back from patrol.

The morgue detail knows someone has died when they get the call.

The transport people know when they're carrying coffins back to Dover AFB.

The handlers at Dover know when they're offloading coffins.

So, who doesn't know what the troops are thinking as their buddies are dying one by one in the desert heat? Are these REMFs upset because the American people are being informed? Why would that concern them?

Unless, of course, they don't want the people to know what their money and military are being spent on over in Iraq . . .
