Regarding supporting troops...

I don't support any kind of troops(theirs, yours and "ours") and I don't buy
that crap excuse "I only did my job". The law forced me to enlist at a time
and I questioned and disobeyed all orders that I found offensive such as "if
they don't stop when entering a secure zone - shoot". Beautiful as a cold
rock in february may be I certainly don't find it worth even one life. I got
the highest praise possible from a general. He told me that I never could
take even the simplest order without questioning and thus must be considered
totally unfit for military service. I wish he had given me that in print
cause I am very proud of that "medal" ;)

That lame excuse has been used since the stone-age and it was bad then, it
was bad when Romans raped their victims, it was bad when the Vikings raped
women all over, it was when the Spanish inquistion tortured people in the
name of God, it was bad when the Knights of England were crusading in the
middle east, it was bad when the Nazis tortured the jews, it was bad when
the Us troops dropped napalm on screaming children in Vietnam, it was bad
when Saddam gassed the Kurds in Iraq, it was bad when soldiers in Jugoslavia
raped women on both sides and it will be bad when Us...

The only guys I really admire at this time is the American girl that got run
over by a demolishion truck truck in Gaza last week and the dozen Swedes
that has gone to Iraq to act as human shields. I suppose there are people
from other countries doing the same but the news here has only shown the
Swedes that flew off yesterday. That is brave! Martyrs of today.
