Institution of Imbeciles...

"Which institution am I talking about? The United States Army. But I am going to combine that with a laundry list of other shit that I have been planning on writing about. So get ready for a wild ride of me pissing and moaning about this or that.

First on the list of things that are pissing me off. Paperwork. This truly sucks. The government and its paperwork. I never knew that this entire war was going to have to be justified on a statement. Every single thing you do, if it involves enemy contact has to be written down on a statement. Why? So the Army lawyers can examine and dissect every little word you write and find a way to nail you to the wall. I thought we had a lot to fear from the media when it came to our actions in the heat of combat. As it turns out we have a whole helluva lot more to fear from our own superiors and the military legal department.

Why did you do this, where did you go, which way were you facing, which way was your gunner facing, what did you say on the radio, what did you hear on the radio, where were you when it happened????????????????????"
