Aiden Delgado might be the next Ward Churchill in waiting.
Ole Sarge was reading my conservative sister Juliette Ochieng and Outside the Beltway blog.
The topic was about a Aiden Delgado who was stationed in Iraq as a mechanic at the infamous Abu Ghraib prison complex. Pvt. Delgado was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector (Army Regulation AR 600–43)
His story makes for good fodder for any lunatic leftist who is too scared to bring their ass to Iraq and find out what the hell is really going on for themselves.
Ole Sarge does admit that the one thing in which I can be found guilty of was using the term “Haji” or “Hadji” From my understanding was the word relates to a person who has made the “Haj” (5th Pillar of Islam)
The accusations of soldiers hitting soldiers in the head with coke bottles is complete nonsense. Besides the cans of Mountain Dew I don’t recall ever seeing any coke bottles.
As stated on Outside the Beltway
“ I meant to note in the original piece that, of course, the mission in Iraq is different now and sensitivity to such things is vital. One doesn't wish to dehumanize the local civilian population of a country one is trying to pacify and democratize. The fact that our soldiers have to be diplomats one instant and warriors the next is a unique characteristic of stabilization operations. “
Look at the Great Seal of the United States of America. You will notice the eagle with an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other
Bello vel Pace Paratus
No one loathes war more than the soldier. The Soldiers sole duty is to fight. Peace is the end but the means to it must be met first. In an ideal world, peace can be achieved just by talking about it. However, reality dictates the opposite. In this country we have the talkers and the walkers. the talkers talk about peace but the walkers take peace along with them and walk to what corner of the planet that needs it. It is the soldier who does the marching.
