My cousin, who was damn near raised as my little brother, is being sent to Iraq for a THIRD TIME next month.

Prayers requested.

Big J,

I pray that he musters up the courage to go AWOL and stops supporting and legitimizing this madness. If it weren't for the troops' blind obedience to Bush, the current wars and future wars would never be possible.

The troops take an oath to defend the Constitution, NOT the country, NOT the president, NOT fucking Halliburton and Exxon. And they violate that oath everyday that they support this disgusting Satanic reign of destruction.

Here's what a real warrior looks like -

Aside from the reality of indentured servitude, the American soldier in theory is much nobler. Soldier or officer, when we swear our oath it is first and foremost to the Constitution and its protectorate, the people. If soldiers realized this war is contrary to what the Constitution extols - if they stood up and threw their weapons down - no President could ever initiate a war of choice again. When we say, "… Against all enemies foreign and domestic," what if elected leaders became the enemy? Whose orders do we follow? The answer is the conscience that lies in each soldier, each American, and each human being. Our duty to the Constitution is an obligation, not a choice.

"This blog sees thing in terms of black and white and not human."

That's 'cause according to this society...

White = Human.

Black is not.

Yet again, you misunderstand.

Acknowledging the uniqueness of brothas does not require one to ignore the reality of humanity.
