It's not surprising that soldiers will come up with stuff like that. They always do. Whether it gets publicized is another matter...it usually doesn't.

Young soldiers everywhere always assume that the side they are on is the "right" side and the people they're fighting are on the wrong side. That gives them the zeal to fight, and it makes them bitterly resent the unknown enemies who kill their mates, and they compose crap like that song when they get upset about it.

Big deal. They suffer from tunnel vision, because the young guys on the other side always feel exactly the same way about them.

But there's one thing that should not be forgotten: This was an unprovoked, illegal, unjustified, pre-emptive invasion of a small country quite incapable of defending itself by a superpower which used false allegations of Weapons of Mass Destruction as an excuse to commit aggression.

And there is no fucking excuse for that.

The Marines and other young American soldiers in Iraq simply aren't aware of it...but they are the guys in the wrong in this war. Their country committed the aggression. They are in the same basic position as young Germans were in when they invaded Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Norway, France, etc....in WWII. They are the aggressors. They are the hated invaders. They are the foreign occupiers. They are the war criminals....and they just don't get it.
