DEAR STREET CARNAGE: THE VIEW FROM IRAQ

Dear Street Carnage,

I enjoy your dos and don’ts but I was not impressed with your interview with a WWII vet who justified the war.

Dear Street Carnage,

I enjoy your dos and don’ts but I was not impressed with your interview with a WWII vet who justified the war. I am equally put off by your “Iraq Report which provides a forum for soldiers who enjoy killing my fellow citizens.

I am an immigrant to America who moved here about 8 days before 9-11. This has led to much suspicion amongst people I meet here so I tend not to mention it. I would like you to know I do not support the war and do not think we are better off because of it. In fact, I believe I can prove to you the war is wrong with one very simple question: If this war is about stability in the Middle East, why did America choose a tiny minority that nobody likes, to be in charge? All of our neighbors are Sunni or something compatible. Shiite’s are a tiny minority in the Middle East, and forgive me for saying, they are savages.

Sunni’s are Muslim too but we are moderates who learn to encorporate the Koran with the modern world. We allow our women to drive and educate themselves. Where about 50% of our women cover their hair about 90% of Shiites do. However, a Shiite woman will not hesitate to sell herself for sex. They are a disgusting people who are hundreds of years behind us. This is why America chose them. They knew a Shiite government would overthrow Saadam without providing a new, stronger government. They knew it would throw a wrench in the works for the Middle East and prevent us from every being powerful again. It’s worth noting this is something that also benefits Israel very much.
In closing I would like you to think hard. Sorry to repeat myself but IF AMERICA WANTS STABILITY IN THE REGION WHY WOULD THEY CHOOSE A TINY UNLIKED GROUP LIKE THIS SHIITES?

Think about this the next time you support the war.

Yes, that is my real name

IRAQ REPORT: THE WAR GETS ONE KITTEN

This cute little kitty decided to come over to our hooch and make itself comfortable on my buddy’s rack. Just look how sleepy it is. Ain’t it cute?

This cute little kitty decided to come over to our hooch and make itself comfortable on my buddy’s rack. Just look how sleepy it is. Ain’t it cute? There’s a lot of stray cats and dogs everywhere in Iraq. So it’s no surprise we crossed paths with this one. I read somewhere that domesticated cats originated from the Middle East. I like cats more than dogs especially here because you don’t have to walk cats and you don’t have to worry about it going crazy and mauling you. You definitely don’t want to get near any of the dogs in Iraq. They will bite you. It’s like they all have rabies or something. It almost makes you want to throw them over a cliff. The only dogs I trust in Iraq are the K9 attack dogs that MPs train on base. Those dogs are nice but they will jump right at somebody’s throat if commanded to do so. Otherwise they seem completely normal friendly pooches. I wish I had my own and it was trained to go straight for the nuts. That would be fun.

THE IRAQ REPORT: BLOWN UP MILLION DOLLAR VEHICLES

Complacency Kills. All the higher ups say that and you see signs everywhere in Iraq with those two words.

Complacency Kills. All the higher ups say that and you see signs everywhere in Iraq with those two words. I guess most of the time since Iraq is boring as fuck, you can’t help get that way and you aren’t in the lookout of that sniper in the rooftop or that IED buried underneath the ground. Then of course that blue moon comes around in the form of a mortar attack heard across the distance or a blown up truck that rolls into the motor pool. In between staring at dirt and being bored out of your mind, such instances kinda help you realize the thought in your mind that says “Holy shit, I’m in Iraq.”

When that once in awhile scared shitless moments happen I do my best getting a camera to get pictures of it. These are million dollar trucks and humvees blown up looking like metal confetti. Seeing that shit usually pisses me off and I can only think I’m glad it wasn’t me in that thing when it went boom. It’s really aggravating sometimes because the entire country is like this. It was quite a different story a few years ago, but things don’t happen enough now that people become ho-hum in this “combat zone.” You can’t help it, if anyone got stuck like us out here they would start sunbathing out in the middle of the day too. You would be driving around Iraq surrounded by buildings that look like swiss cheese because of all the blown out windows and bullet holes, going across cities and towns straight out of scenes from the Road Warrior, and the main thing floating around your mind would be whether they’re serving spaghetti and meatballs today at the chow hall.

Sometimes the bullet holes and charred remnants of vehicles work my way into my head. I hope if I get hit with an IED it would be a really pussy one so that I will get a Combat Action Ribbon (CAR) but with all my limbs intact along with any other body part and bodily function. Maybe a little shrapnel across the eye would be cool so people will ask me of the great war story behind the scar. Girls will think that’s so hot.

God that would really suck if I lost an arm. I wouldn’t be able to play guitar anymore and it would be really hard cleaning after myself masturbating. Imagine if I lost both my arms? I guess losing my feet wouldn’t be so bad. I would save so much money on shoes. Have you seen how much a pair of Chucks cost now? It’s fucking outrageous. It would be kinda cool though because I always think about how I might be chosen into some crazy government program that will build me back up as a cyborg à la Robo Cop after losing all my shit in some blast. I would be the Million Dollar Asian Man. If they update me with a machine gun as a left hand and a bigger penis then I am so set for life.
