To the person who wrote last week's "fuck the soldiers" bit [I, Anonymous, Dec 9]. Boy, you are one seriously judgmental, self-righteous dickhead, aren't you? How the fuck are you any better than the soldiers in Iraq when you're condemning them to death out of your own foul mouth? At least they believe in something; you're just a weasely little shithead who makes me sick to my stomach with your wishes for people to die horrible deaths. I don't agree with the war either, but don't hate the player, man, hate the game. Do you think they enjoy that shit? I'm not talking about those Abu Ghraib motherfuckers, I'm talking your average soldier. They want to go home to their families and friends. And what about the people who joined up for the GI Bill, trying to make a better life for themselves? Should they suffer unnecessarily for that? They accepted the responsibility, but you probably don't know jack about that. And the worst part is, I'm a human being (again, something I'm not sure you know anything about) and I don't like seeing people suffer, so I can't even wish on you what you wished on them. You deserve no less. If our soldiers are shit-for-brains, then welcome to the crap pile, because you are twice as bad as they are.
