Rant number 250
In the past, I've made clear my thoughts on the Soldiers in the far east. I think that the soldiers are brave people who risk their lives, but I think that the assholes who keep them there are complete scum.
We spend millions on keeping them out there in the far east, where they are unwanted - in the name of 'peace keeping.'
I hate that term, 'peace keeping.' It's a good way of disguising 'war,' except it isn't all out shoot the bad guys - no it's dirtier and nastier. You see, when you are in the 'peace keeping' stage of a war, and your men are on the side of the 'goodies,' you need to play very fair - which makes them really vulnerable.
You see, whatever people say, in the peace keeping stage, you haven't won a war. Your governments have just decided stop bashing each other quite so directly. Whatever governments say however, they can't change the way that people think or feel - so the war continues under the surface tacet but dirty.
The reason I'm back on the subject, is the issue of 'Green on Blue.' This is code for trainee 'police' and 'peace keepers' turning on those who are training them.
Which frankly, is fucking disgusting.
The soldiers are in a dangerous position. They're an unwanted nuisance to the locals - and they have a frankly thankless task. Luckily however, they get to pull out soon - in 2014 on the proviso that they have trained local forces to keep the peace.
That's all very well, but maybe - just maybe, they don't want to be trained to be our bitches? Maybe they just want to get close to our soldiers, like the bloody cowards they are?
Either way, we should just pull our people out of there, and leave the scumbags to their own devices.
Rant over.
