You want to guard the Iraqi's that ran from a force they could easily have over powered be my guest. They ran from terrorists that came in riding on jeeps while the Iraqis had tanks, helicopters and superior weapons and you think these people are worth dying for, I don't think so.
Let's pick another wall and please stop confusing movies with real life.
We follow orders, son. We follow orders or people die. It's that simple. Are we clear?
I suggest you stop spreading the LIE that invading Iraq had anything to do with protecting the freedom of any American and I don't give a damn about what you so mistakenly believe we've accomplished there. Perhaps you should learn the difference between offense and defense before invoking either as your alleged purpose, eh?
I can deal with the bullets, and the bombs, and the blood. I don't want money, and I don't want medals. What I do want is for you to stand there in that white uniform and with your Harvard mouth extend me some ******* courtesy
You follow orders AND people (including too damn many Americans) die!
For what?
To keep the MIC humming along?
I heard enough of this tripe in the Vietnam era.
ENOUGH!
I eat breakfast 300 yards from 4000 Cubans who are trained to kill me, so don't think for one second that you can come down here, flash a badge, and make me nervous.

WHERE have I EVER blamed the people who FOLLOW the orders?
It's the damn A**HOLES who so casually GIVE the orders to start unnecessary wars of choice I take issue with.

It's silly but whatever makes him happy, right?
Sounds more like he took the Nicholson line "I think we're gonna have to get drunk" to heart.
Unfortunately he displays about the same level of seriousness our alleged leaders in DC display when they involve us in so many unnecessary wars around the world that they are never held accountable for.
