Just so you know

 In case you haven't seen the news yet, we've begun a significant incursion into Baghdad. It is 10:12PM MST, 9:12AM in Baghdad Time. We have now taken over the Ministry of [Dis]-Information, and at least one presidential palace. Check out MSNBC for more info. Just thought I'd give you guys a heads-up.

Hey man I didn't know you were there. The WE is a bit too much no ? This is not a painting-ball game :-((.
Very sad to read some bullshit like that !

  • Bro,


    Quite honestly, I don't think he meant it that way. I think "we" = "the coalition forces". I think the choice of words were just for a show of solidarity with our troops. People use the word "we" for many thing for which they aren't physically present, eg. in sporting events it's not uncommon to hear a fan say "'we' scored". While this is by no means a sporting event, "we" is a unifying word, quite appropriate for these times. Not to mention we is much shorter than the coalition forces.

  • There are also more than a few of us who are former military and are seeing our friends in action. It is pretty easy to slip back into familiar patterns when "your" unit is engaged.

  • "we" are at war. Just because I am not there doesn't mean that we are not at war.
