I’ll be gottdamned if yet another of our esteemed elected representatives hasn’t put us soldjurs in our place.

I want to make it abundantly clear: if there’s anyone who believes that these youngsters want to fight, as the Pentagon and some generals have said, you can just forget about it. No young, bright individual wants to fight just because of a bonus and just because of educational benefits. And most all of them come from communities of very, very high unemployment. If a young fella has an option of having a decent career or joining the army to fight in Iraq, you can bet your life that he would not be in Iraq. (Emphasis mine)

I beg to differ with the sumbitch and will in a gottdamned New York minute bet my life that many, many of our young men and women would indeed be in Iraq for nothin’ more than to fight for freedom, for Mr. Rangel’s right to run his gottdamned mouth, and believe me, most of ‘em could damn well get good payin’ jobs just about anywhere outside of the Army. Kiss my ass Charlie.

I am sick and fuckin’ tired of hearin’ about how stupid and stuck our soldjurs are when I know gottdamned well that our future is in the best hands this nation has to offer. I can’t help but wonder when inthehell the idiots on Capitol Hill are goin’ to stop usin’ our soldjurs for political gains!

Well, I’m bettin’ my life Mr. Rangel, ante the fuck up Congressman!

    Against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

  1. Thank you for your service, Sgt Bleu, and for doing such a good job of saying what I couldn’t quite put into words.

I linked from http://www.smalltownveteran.net/bills_bites/2006/11/video_rangel_sa.html.

  2. Adam Henry: Charles Rangel

    A lot of people seemed to take John Kerry’s word for it recently when claimed that his military insult was actually a muffed shot at the president. I didn’t. As I said in this post, Kerry and his fellow Democrats

  3. Charlie Rangel Insults The Troops Again

    And who says that Democrats don’t have contempt for the military? Having been shown stats that indicate that members of the armed forces are less likely to be black, poor, or high school dropouts than the American population at large,…

  4. Maybe this baffoon should check out the facts, reenlistments are up and all of the branches are making their recruiting goals.

    Rangel and his ilk make me sick.

In view of a recent tendency to identify characters in fiction with real people, it seems proper to state that there are no real people in this volume: both the characters and their names are ficticious. The names or designations of any military units are ficticious. There are no living people nor existing military units presented in this book. -Ernest Hemingway

Fiddler's Green


Halfway down the road to hell,
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
