i also remembering in another "letter from home" where a soldier wrote that the iraqis on the street call the US troops "jews"....he didnt make the connection, but after a few months of feeling the zionist rip tide under the sand , he knows why they are called "jew"...
Great story. Americans are told self-absorbed idiots-the dumbest people on this planet. They are the only group of people I can think of who would actually go to a foreign country and refer to the citizens their as foreigners. Not to mention they are also the only group of people who go to foreign countries and get upset when people don't speak English because they are too lazy to learn the language of that country.

[A]n unidentified farmer in a fairly remote area who, after being asked by Reconnaissance Marines if he had seen any foreign fighters in the area replied "Yes, you."Taken from "[a] Marine's letter home, with its frank description of life in "Dante's inferno," [that] has been circulating through generals' in-boxes."
Profound, indeed.
Meanwhile, in other news . . . The troops [in Iraq] say it's frustrating not to trust their Iraqi counterparts. Do soldiers here ever ask themselves, "Why are we here? Is this our war anymore?"
"Oh yes, all the time. I ask myself that a lot, too," says Spc. Vernon Roberson of 1-14 Cavalry. "We've been here for so long and we've done so much, but it's just so far we can go."
After the mission, the soldiers tell us their morale remains high, but insist Iraqis need to do more.
"It's time for them to take the reins and take responsibility for their country," they say.
Until then, it's U.S. troops mediating, fighting and dying. This is in stark contrast to what we heard from Ret. Colonel Hammes last week.I don't think there's a lack of courage on the part of Iraqis. There are very confusing signals from the United States. And for all of our rhetoric that we will support them, they watch what we do and what we are doing is not supporting them.Regardless of whether American troops are doing too much, as suggested by this MSNBC report and other government officials, or not doing enough as Colonel Hammes insists, one thing is painfully clear - Americans do NOT belong in Iraq, nor do they belong in the more than 100 American colonial military bases around the globe.
