An obvious difference between US soldiers and Iraqi soldiers...if our guys went a week without food to eat...we'd shoot our own officers. If we didn't get paid within a month...we'd walk off the job. Our guys are there because they are volunteers and are treated like real warriors. In return, they will fight anyone on the face of the earth...and not give an inch.

"...if our guys went a week without food to eat...we'd shoot our own officers."

An interesting theory. So you look at the "volunteer Army" as sort of a "job" that you can quit anytime if you get tired of it? Don't ry "quitting" n combat- it is the duty of every Officer and NCO to return you to duty by any means necessary- and to stop desertions.

By the way, I once went 11 days with nothinng to eat- I don't recall shooting any officers over it...

You sound like a wannabe armchair warrior. Go back to your stupid video games- the men will take care of this war.

Do you actually think that American soldiers would shoot their officers if they didn't have food. What an insulting and outrageous statement to make. That is insane. Do you have no respect for our men and women? I think this fight is more about freedom and honour and protecting our country than if they have a little rumble in their tummy.

That is a disgusting statement to make! You should be ashamed.
