(look at me with my outrageous, tabloid-like headline)
How bad must it be in Iraq? So bad that an entire unit of 17 soldiers may face mutiny charges for refusing to participate in a mission. Yeah, I’d say pretty bad.
On the one hand, I want to say to these people, “good for you.” If your government isn’t going to look out for you, you might as well look out for yourself. On the other hand, it’s a pretty sad day for the American military when our soldiers are refusing to do their “duty”. I admittedly have a pretty weak sense of “duty” but it’s so unsettling to hear that your country is losing control of its military. Not that there’s any way in hell I would even go near Iraq, much less put on fatigues and get sand in my pants trying to put the place back together. Uh… what a mess.
