REASONS NOT TO ENLIST IN the US Military and join the Iraq war.
On average, a surgeon has to amputate the genitals of two wounded US
soldiers each day in Iraq.
You may be killed. Your family, friends and people who love you will
have a lifetime of heartache. Any children you would have fathered
will be aborted with you.
You may be maimed, have one or more limbs amputated or lose half your
face or your ***** and balls. You will live the rest of your life
disabled. You may be so disfigured you will never have *** again. You
will be stuck with the bulk of the medical bills. Modern medicine can
resuscitate badly maimed people who would have died in previous wars.
This means the Iraq war is cranking out an unusually high numbers of
seriously maimed people.
Many returning from Iraq become mental basket cases unable to deal
with the horrors of war and the guilt at what they have done. Friends
and family reject them. They can't hold down a job. They become
homeless. Look at the way American treats the homeless vets of the
Viet Nam and Iraq wars begging on the streets.
Over half the soldiers who served in the Gulf War, died of Gulf War
Syndrome or were treated for it. They were in Iraq for only weeks.
You
will be there years. Read the fine print. Bush is keeping soldiers in
Iraq for years after their contract expires. To this day no one knows
for sure what causes Gulf War Syndrome.
You will be exposed to DU (Depleted Uranium), as were soldiers in the
first Gulf War. This may cause cancer later, or even more likely will
cause your children and their children to be genetically deformed.
Check out the middle part of this video that shows what sort of
children are common to those exposed to the DU-laden winds in Iraq.
Imagine explaining to your wife why you did this to her. Also pay
attention to parts how can make your wife and family sick indirectly.
Iraq is no threat to the USA. You are not defending your country.
There were no WMDs. Even Bush admits Iraq had nothing to do with the
terrorist attacks on 9/11.
"We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the
September 11th attacks."
~ George W. Bush, 2003-09-17, audio.
The USA illegally attacked an unarmed country under false pretenses.
The war is about ignoble motives such as oil and world domination.
There is utterly no point is you risking your life in Iraq.

If Americans are going to pay for the war, they should be shown the
war, including pictures of the hundreds of thousands of little
children and women who have been killed and permanently disfigured in
Bush's so called "war on terror".
WAR PICTURES
Pictures of Destruction and Civilian Victims of the Anglo-American
Aggression in Iraq
These photos are only of a very tiny fraction of the hundreds of
thousands of Iraqi Civilian Victims who have been terrorised,
humiliated, injured, maimed and killed through British and American
bombing of civilian areas in various cities of Iraq. Due to
insecurity, independent re****ters could not and still can not reach
many areas to photograph and re****t the atrocities. Several
independent re****ters and journalists were deliberately bombed to
prevent them re****ting the atrocities.
WARNING:
PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME OF THESE PICTURES ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR SMALL
CHILDREN AND THOSE WITH WEAK HEARTS.

"How is a military drilled and trained to defend freedom, peace and
ahppiness?
This is what Major General O'Ryan has to say of an efficiently
trained
generation: 'The soldier must be so trained that he becomes a mere
automoton;
he must be so trained that it will destroy his initiative;
he must be so trained that he is turned into a machine.
The soldier must be forced into the military noose;
he must be jacked up; he must be ruled by his superiors with pistol in
hand.'
This was not said by a Prussian Junker; not by a German
barbarian . . .
but by an American major general. And he is right. You cannot conduct
war
with equals; you cannot have militarism with free born men; you must
have
slaves, automotons, machines, obedient disciplined creatures, who
will
move, act, shoot and kill at the command of their superiors. That is
preparedness, and nothing else."
-Emma Goldman
