Think Progress

Active-duty soldiers reject myth that escalation is working.

A group of infantrymen and officers of the 82nd Airborne Division write in the New York Times today that they are “skeptical of recent press coverage portraying the conflict as increasingly manageable.” Reports of progress, they say, have “neglected the mounting civil, political and social unrest we see every day.” They write:

The claim that we are increasingly in control of the battlefields in Iraq is an assessment arrived at through a flawed, American-centered framework. [...]

In the end, we need to recognize that our presence may have released Iraqis from the grip of a tyrant, but that it has also robbed them of their self-respect. They will soon realize that the best way to regain dignity is to call us what we are — an army of occupation — and force our withdrawal.

Until that happens, it would be prudent for us to increasingly let Iraqis take center stage in all matters, to come up with a nuanced policy in which we assist them from the margins but let them resolve their differences as they see fit. This suggestion is not meant to be defeatist, but rather to highlight our pursuit of incompatible policies to absurd ends without recognizing the incongruities.

    Everyone already knows the truth, yet they continue to act surprised. This is not news.

    Mark my words: regardless of anything that happens, things will only get worse in Iraq. The situation cannot be unfu(ked.


  3. Rose Tyler says:

    Bravo, 82nd Airborne! Well done.


  4. celtic cynic says:

    Aw, what do they know? They’re just soldiers. They’re so much lower in class than the enlightened, elite, wonderful spin-doctors that we are blessed with. Off with their heads!


  5. darla says:

    they need to go a bit further, and call for mutiny, because this administration won’t stop.


  6. Wayne says:

    Makes me proud the 82nd still holding to principles and stating the truth not propaganda.
    82nd is my old Division.

    Hey, *Zooey/rose

    Lost a post trying to reply to you.

    Saw you tried to page “mongrel”. I put a reply at end of that thread this moring lol.


  7. Guido, Lover, OBGYN says:

    Of course it’s an occupation. Do they really think we think it’s otherwise?


  8. bilbobaggins says:

    Kudos to the 82nd. It’s about time that the soldiers start speaking out. Unfortunately the consequences for them is going to be grim. They are risking their lives by speaking out. Remember what happened to Pat Tillman. Expect more “friendly fire” deaths in the near future involving the brave soldiers who choose to speak out.

    The thing that galls me the most about the situation in Iraq is all the Sargents and Generals who keep sending their soldiers into hopeless situations where the chances are good that they will be killed. Don’t these people have any loyalty to their troops or has the Bush Crime Family so bastardized the military that all the officers must swear an oath to King George, their troops be damned.

    Hi Wayne, TP isn’t letting Zooey post this morning. Geez….

    I though the 82nd was yours. Great guys!

    Yeah, I called the airport and asked them to page “Dr William Dog,” it was very very important. He didn’t answer. Heh.

    Have you jumped out of any airplanes yet?


  10. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    I salute the 82nd Airborne Division, both its current and past members. Thank you one and all. This country owes a huge debt of gratitude for what these brave men and women have done for us.

    I understand your frustration, but please keep in mind that military personnel are trained to accept one thing above all else: The mission comes first.

    Your personal feelings cannot interfere with following orders, even if you know that you will die as a result. (That’s why they came up with the term “suicide mission”, because they knew that there would be times when someone would have to give his or her life in order to complete the mission.) If you have any beef at all, it should be with the president who ordered them on this mission, not the NCOs and Officers tasked with carrying out their orders.

    Oh, Wayne, please tell us someone is planning on sabotaging the plane so you have a good reason to jump out of it! :D

    Enjoy your jump and have a safe landing (the most important part.)


  16. Emerald says:

    What do they know? They are just there, doing and seeing and responding in real time. Don’t they understand that the Cheney/Bush guided tours give a more credible picture of the marvelous improvements as a result of the surge? According to the rosy picture we get from hand-picked and closely-insulated observers, a Double-Surge would probably have all Iraqis converting to (fundie) Christianity, joining the Republic party, and watching American Idol every week.

    Sorry for the snark-I marvel at these service-members’ courage in speaking out!

  20. Liberator says:

    You know, just because they are active-duty, doesn’t automatically mean that they are correct. In fact, it’s safe to say that there are plenty of soldiers who are just plain wrong sometimes, they are only human after all.

    Just sayin’

  22. missmolly says:

    Here in NC, we have high regard for our Fort Bragg soldiers, the 82nd Airborne. I’m more more inclined to believe with they have to say over the spin doctors and the people who have been to the neocon dog and pony shows.


  23. bilbobaggins says:

    “I understand your frustration, but please keep in mind that military personnel are trained to accept one thing above all else: The mission comes first.”

    One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again expecting a different result. So, are all these officers insane?

    Somewhere along the line, these officers need to take personal responsibility for what they are doing. If they are ordered to keep performing the same mission over and over and over again, knowing that there is no way it can succeed, and that the soldiers they are in charge of are undoubtedly going to die, when do they say “enough is enough”?

    That’s the point I was trying to make.


  24. Dave C says:

    You’re right Liberator, only Michael Yon is correct, cus he says the stuff that you already believe. You & Frank J are complete jokes. You only consider information that already supports your views, the rest you discard. Just sayin’.

    There, I fixed it for you.


  26. barfly says:

    “In fact, it’s safe to say that there are plenty of soldiers who are just plain wrong sometimes, they are only human after all.”

    Franks, Rumsfeld, and Abizaid come readily to mind.


  27. Liberator says:

    All’s I’m sayin’ is that no one is right all of the time, and just like Makros said, we shouldn’t let the fact that they are military be a sort of “emotional blackmail.”


  28. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    That’s the point I was trying to make.

    Comment by bilbobaggins — August 19, 2007 @ 1:20 pm

    I understand, but that is not an option they have. For the sake of military discipline, all personnel must obey their orders. Enlisted people who sign contracts to serve x-number of years cannot simply “quit” without facing imprisonment. And officers may well be barred from resigning their commissions during wartime (I may be wrong about that, and I hope Wayne or some other vet could confirm or correct this). If they could, we wouldn’t have a military to defend this nation against other agressive nations. (We have police and the FBI to defend us against criminals like the perpetrators of 9/11.)

    As heart-breaking and insane as it may seem, we need people who are willing to do dangerous missions and who will follow orders even if it means they may die. We can train them as well as we can to keep them from getting themselves killed through stupidity, but luck plays a huge role in who gets killed and who doesn’t.

    They depend on us, the American people, to remove the leaders who make them do the unnecessarily dangerous missions. And we have been trying to get our Congress to recognize that the current “Commander-in-Chief” isn’t fit to lead a military parade, let alone a military.


  29. missmolly says:

    Comment by bilbobaggins — August 19, 2007 @ 1:20 pm

    A good officer won’t sacrifice his troops unnecessarily, and good generals won’t order good officers (or even not so good officers) to put their troops in the middle of a firestorm unless it’s the only way to accomplish a greater mission.

    Seeing as how our “mission” has become so blurry that nobody quite knows what it is anymore (most suspect the mission has become “hang on until this can become somebody else’s mess”), we have a situation where good officers have to choose between sacrificing their troops for somebody’s political legacy or mutiny (which, during wartime, can be punishable by death, according to the UCMJ).

    I suspect that some WILL say “enough is enough”, despite the penalty. But probably not many.

    If you read the entire article, notice how at the end they, too, feel they have to cover their collective a$$es: “This suggestion is not meant to be defeatist, but rather to highlight our pursuit of incompatible policies to absurd ends without recognizing the incongruities.”

    They know all too well that the right will jump on this as “defeatist,” “unpatriotic ,” “un-American,” and “not supporting the troops.”

    I love you guys. I will continue to write and contact my so-called representatives to bring you home, or at least send you to the right battlefield. You have gone well above and beyond your duties. Thank you for your service and your letter to the Times


  35. UpFromTheSkies says:

    Of course these soldiers cannot possibly know as much about the progress of the war they are fighting as our own heroic War President and his veteran combat-tested Vice President. Our medal-studded War President listens to his Generals and takes inspiration from them and lets them write their own reports, as opposed to letting political hacks write them in order to set political policy.

    It really is too bad that GDumbya and Darth Cheney are not war veterans. It’s not because they would be better at conducting the Iraq fiasco today. It’s because they both would have been fragged within a day of arriving in-theater back then . . . and their stupidity would not be imposed upon us today.

    Comment by Liberator

    That’s rich.

    The invasion of Iraq was based on emotional blackmail; and after all which has gone (predictably) wrong, you’re now carping about a few soldiers’ attempts to balance the Pentagon’s “all is well” smokescreen?

    Hoo boy!


  40. Jim Wolf359 says:

    I think the Troops and Officers of the 82nd Airborne as well as the vast majority of the Troops understand tha quandry that they are in. This might be just the first expression of it that we will see in the future from them.
    It will serve as a needed counterweight to the Report coming out of the White House in Sept. that will no doubt paint a glowing assesment of our “Progress” in Iraq. It will bear no relation to the reality that the 82nd and the rest of the Troops deal with every day.


  41. tom says:

    The ultimate in emotional blackmail is having the chicken-hawk neocons pissing and moaning that those who question GDumbya’s dirty little avoidable war in Iraq “don’t support our troops”.


  42. Dave C says:

    According to Liberator the “progress” in Iraq is limited to the execution of Saddam. Not much to report on since that day.

    The New York Times must also now allow the overwelming number of troops who realize the progress being made in Iraq to publish their editorial. They are making the contributions, and they deserve their voice.


  46. LIL SERF says:

    The 82′nd Airborne is one of the most widely recognized and highly decorated combat divisions in the US. Their nickname (look at their shoulder patches) is ALL AMERICAN.

    And now active duty soldiers in the 82nd Airborne are willing to speak out publically, voicing the truth over the Bush administrations lies?

    Heroes to the end.

  64. Abby says:

    Junior lost this thing long before “Mission Accomplished”.

    He lost it almost before he went in simply because Iraq under Saddam was a secular levy holding back the spread of militant Islam from Afghanistan to the Mediterranean. By breaking that levy, Junior gave that country to Iran and there’s nothing we can do about it now. That, incidentally, is the exact time we lost the War-On-Terror too because we took our eyes off Bin Laden.

    He lost it when he went in with too few a number of troops, he lost it when he protected the oil infrastructure and stippled the priceless museum artifacts while allowing everything else to be looted.

    He lost it when he destroyed the infrastructure and told the Iraqis to go fu#k themselves.

    He lost it when he disbanded the Iraqi Army and let them join the Iraqi resistance.

    He lost it when he not only refused Iranian and Syrian help in bringing Iraq under control, but told them that they were next on our list. A perfect way to make friends and influence people.

    All that remains is the acknowledgment and acceptance of that loss. Because we cannot be defeated on any battlefield, we have to decide many more lives and how much more money are we willing to throw down this, now bottomless, pit.

    If the Democrats and the Republicans are the only ones going to decide this, I’m afraid our losses have only just begun.

    The Dems will probably vote to use force against Iran just like they did when they controlled the senate for Iraq.

    When he went after OBL the Republican congress accused him of trying to divert attention from the “homeland security threatening” sex investigation the hypocrites were conducting.

    Comment by Dr. Dog — August 19, 2007 @ 2:39 pm

    A long ago debunked right-wing talking point perpetrated by NewsMax. Sudan never offered to turn OBL over to us. Clinton pleaded with the Saudis to accept Sudan’s offer to turn OBL over to them, but they refused. As for the 9/11 Commission Report’s findings on this (also cited by your friends at NewsDistortionToTheMax), they had this to say:

    “[F]ormer Sudanese officials claim that Sudan offered to expel Bin Ladin to the United States…Clinton administration officials deny ever receiving such an offer. We have not found any reliable evidence to support the Sudanese claim.”

    Of course, none of this has anything to do with the op-ed piece written by the 82nd Airborne Rangers, which is the real topic of this thread.

    really funny coming from a liar like you.

    Why can’t I find you on Google, if you’ve submitted three dissertations for doctorates? All other “doctors” records can be found on Google (I know, because I once had to locate certain faculty’s records at my community college.) So where’s your records, and why can’t they be found, Doggy?

    Hey Dog,

    I just had you paged at the Austin-Bergstrom airport. Why didn’t you answer?
    Comment by Zooey

    After I got to the airport I heard 2 pages for Dr. William Dog. He never went to the desk for the pages.
    This is just hilarious.
    I am still lmao over this.

    recap:
    I arrived at Bruce’s at about 11, worked out till 1ish when Dog was supposed to be there. He never showed.

    Find out Dog was posting, claiming he was on a fantasy wireless connection sitting in Bruces at 1pm Eastern time, by the time stamps.

    Katy called Bruce’s, Talked to Bruce, verified no wireless, asked for me, talked to me there at about 1:00. Dog was not there.

    Zooey paged Dog and probably someone else did because I heard 2 after I got there. Dog was not there.

    Freaking unreal that a troll can be that stupid and think people can not verify things fairly easily.

    The phone at Bruce’s is in the back office. Bruce does not work on the weekend. There is no paging system at the gym. Katy lied when she said she called there.

    What do you propose, turn back time? Like I said, even if this is all Clinton’s fault, it does not matter now. If it’s all Clinton’s fault, try him and execute him but I still don’t see how saying “Clinton, Clinton, Clinton” over and over again gives us a victory in Iraq or gets us out safely. What’s your proposal?

    Well, they are clear on that one. Congress has not declared war. There is no war in Iraq, there is simply an occupation of another country. So, if they want to mutiny, they should do it. There is no reason for them to sacrifice their life to occupy a country that doesn’t want us there.

    Gee, Rose, you and I e-mailed Faiz and I haven’t received a response from him on this matter, have you? I find it hard to believe that Faiz would have sent an e-mail to “Liberator” who, in theory, was not part of this dispute at all. It was between shane and “(non)-Dr. Dog”, so why would “Liberator” get any such e-mail? Unless, of course, “Dr. Dog” and “Liberator” are, as we all suspect, one and the same person.


  233. Dr. Dog says:

    You proved that the number was accurate.

    It’s accurate as far as it’s a real fax. The man at the front desk is holding my fax. It’s bogus because you looked the fax number up on google and pretended that it was a fax you used.

    Are you sure “most” are in education? This is very surprising to me. I am pretty sure that most are in engineering and science, where PhDs are highly valuable and nearly all students are fully supported with tuition and salary in the $15-25K per year range. Nearly all PhDs in engineering and science work in their chosen technical field (or something similar), and most are not “over-qualified” for their job.

    Theres enough lies going on. I was reading and realized they were talking about where my son takes lessons.

    But… but… the similarities are astonishing.

    You both live fact-free existences.

    Neither of you have nads, whether by freakish birth flaw or deliberate act – “tutoting”.

    And you both cr*pped your pantyhose when you had the chance to spar w/ Wayne, or in your case, HIS DAUGHTER.

    Jes’ pointin’ it out… thas all!!!


  308. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    Saldariel, we actually pooled enough money one night to fly Mr P out to Austin to free spar w/ WAYNE’S daughter and he took off running so fast… it was hysterical.

    While we were all on one thread asking, “Funny, where did he go?”, he was going around to threads w/ no activity just posting his name, over and over, like a dog marking territory.

    And don’t even ask about the time he tried to sell this nonsense about the Saudis not being Moslems here.

    Comment by VerbalKint — August 19, 2007 @ 6:58 pm

    It’s true. Most business considers an MS or MA as a final filter. The success rate at that level is about 85-95%. Of those achieving the PhD level, the success rate shrinks to about 65% because they are actually overqualified when they enter the job market. Since a company has to train an individual in its ways, the extra time spent outside of industry is not that advantageous except in corporate research and PhD candidates throw the dice when they choose their research topic.

    I hope by “friendly exchanges”, you’re referring to those posts of his where one of his personalities effusively praises another.

    You are not seriously implying there is anything remotely similar to a discussion with Mr. P, are you?

    Have you noticed his psychotic rants? And how do you suggest we engage anyone in a discussion (open or otherwise) when they resort to sockpuppets to make it look as if someone else agrees with them?

    Then explain something to everyone. We all know that Mr President went through a spell where he kept posting under various Roman names (because he was getting banned). He posted under names like AVGVSTVS and, one of your favorites, GAIVS IVLIVS CAESAR OCTAVIANVS. Those are facts and everyone here knows it.

    So how come you left a comment on my blog posting it under your blogspot account Makarios, which has pictures of Augustus and Julias Caesar on it, and then signed the comment at the end with “Mr President”? I don’t think that’s just a coincidence.

    People may go see the most recent post on my blog and check the comments if they would like to see it for themselves.

    Then Dr Dog’s record as a doctor and as having served is challenged. Google mysteriously turns up no data on him, despite him claiming to have three doctorates.

    Shane give Dr Dog a chance to fax him proof.

    Shane mysteriously, gets no fax. Dr Dog claims that a male on the counter says he has his fax, yet Shane reveals that the person on desk, is in fact female.

    You make a good point Dr. Dog; however, there is a difference. This is a big story because coming out against this occupation is more difficult than supporting it. Especially when you are there fighting it.

    Besides, I have just talked to one of my friends that just came back for a couple weeks and went back last Thursday. He was a supporter (at least more of one that I was) for most of this occupation – I asked him if it was getting better or worse – he did not hesitate and said worse.

    It was pretty bad when I was there, and one of my Marines that has been back since (I am now out) told me it is much worse. In his words “for every friend we make six enemies”.

    Who are you listening to? Why are they so much more credible than these soldiers? How long can you be told “6 months” before you start questioning? When are you going to start weighing the consequences?

    And after Bin Laden knocked the towers down, Bush let him go at Tora Bora.

    And you STILL haven’t gotten him.

    Everything Bush said in his photo op the day after the towers fell, as he stood on the bodies of dead Americans, was a LIE.

    The people who knocked the towers down have NOT “heard from us all”.

    They have NOT been brought to justice.

    In fact, Bush flew their families out of the country two days after 911, without even questioning them.

    Bush let Bin Laden go AFTER he dropped the towers.
