Go USA

[
The American soldier knows full well there were no WMDs. He knows the
UN has declared the war illegal. He knows Iraq was no threat to the
USA. He knows the USA attacked Iraq, a tiny unarmed country, without
provocation. He knows full well Americans are killing more children
than adults. He knows about the atrocities and torture. He knows he is
not defending America; he is fighting a war of aggression on her
behalf. He knows the war in not about Saddam, or else why would the
killing continue long after Saddam's capture and Bush would have
accepted Saddam's surrender before the war started. He should be
pretty damn suspicious this war is about oil, since that what nearly
everyone on earth but Republicans say it is about. Yet he persists in
his slaughter, no different from the Nazi who persisted in his evil
out of a herd mentality.
What motivates him? I think these are the big four motivations:

Sadism and excitement.
Fear of standing out from the crowd. Herd mentality.
Blind patriotism. ( http://mindprod.com/patriotism.html )
Money. The military is the employer of last resort. What sort of a
sicko would choose killing and maiming kids as a way to earn a living?
