| ____________________________________ [Feb 14,2006 1:56pm - RichHorror ""] Pete Benumb from Iraq By: Pete Benumb Before I begin I want to thank James Grell and all at Relapse for letting me do this article. For those who donıt know, for the last nine months Iıve been stationed in Baghdad, Iraq with my National Guard unit. A quick history, Iıve been with the National Guard for about 14 years and the regular Army for 4 yrs. I am here in Iraq of my own free will. I am in no way a victim of circumstance or a victim at all. I was not carried away in the middle of the night by the evil army of George W. Bush in front of my weeping mother. I chose to come here. Letıs just skip the reason I joined the military in the first place and get straight to the one issue. The sharp contrast between some of Benumbıs lyrics and my actions (i.e. my military obligation and being involved in this politically charged conflict) boils down to straight hypocrisy, thus making me a hypocrite. Regardless of how vocal Iıve been about my involvement, I have said one thing and done another. Once more making me a hypocrite. Now that thatıs been said I want to talk about something that actually matters, Iraq and her people. Here are some facts, a few years back good old Sadam was given some money (food for oil) from the USA. Well that money built about 250 really nice palaces throughout Iraq. While Iraqıs people lived in, and in some cases still do, the true definition of squalor, destitution, and poverty, I have seen housing complexes on the outskirts of Baghdad that make homeless encampments in the US look like upscale neighborhoods due to no electricity or running water. There is raw sewage in the street and mounds and mounds of garbage and waste. One thing you will never hear on CNN. Part of the Military operations here in Iraq is to report these problems to US and Multinational contractors who fix these issues. And they actually do fix these issues. Sadly, these people have been oppressed on so many levels. By Sadam, by fear, by armed gunmen representing whomever, shooting down police and civilians in broad daylight. Kidnapping innocent civilians seen talking with US Forces, holding them for ransom, torturing them for information and then eventually killing them. I am sure that thereıs someone reading this and saying, ³This wouldnıt happen if the US wasnıt involved². Bullshit! It would occur on a larger scale. The world may never be free of violence and oppression, but I am proud to be with people that are making efforts to displace it in this region. I strongly feel that Iraq could use a strong dose of western civilization. I do not mean abandoning her past, her religious beliefs, or her rich culture. I mean the people should be entitled to a sense of real security as well as a stable economy and financial institutions, (regardless of how much I hate most financial and credit institutions). Not to mention having running water, working toilets, sewage systems and sanitation programs, all the creature comforts we spoil ourselves with in the US. They too should be entitled to every aspect. Since Iıve been here, I have worked in both an office environment and also outside. I have worked with both day laborers and business owners and I have to say this experience has been rich, happy, sad, depressing, uplifting, angry and hilarious. Itıs been life. Iıve seen a government take form (lets all pray it works for them). I was here when a President was elected. I am forever changed. No more can I look at a world issue without thinking of the human factor, the preservation of human life and dignity, the displacement of oppression and suffering. Sometimes these things have to take place by force. I am proud to serve and of those I serve with. To all those Bco 1/184 (attached and detached) thank you. To those who took the time to read this, supported Benumb in any way, or e-mailed me, a huge thank you. |

They do fix these issues by supplying contracts to Hailburton, which in turns puts cash in the people running our country. So are they are really in it for the well being of the Iraqi people, or just the cash? The answer is obvious. |
