Huh? Iraq Warzone, ...Safe?

January 14th 2008 11:14
Fighting the war in Iraq would be safer for Chinese men than working in the coal mines of China, if what I read in a Yahoo news article this morning is accurate. Reading this brief while quaffing the amber elixir of life, my morning face slapping, butt kicking cup of java, is for me the ritual that starts off a perfect morning.

Apparently 3,800 hundred Chinese men were killed mining in 2007 according to Xinhua News Agency whereas the attrition rate for US soldiers is around that same amount (3921) after four years of warfare. You just know these Chinese fellas would like the odds in Iraq better.

Oh, and on the front lines in the USA, let’s not forget the casualties suffered annually in traffic accidents and what about the collateral damages inflicted upon civilian’s, fatalities suffered as a result of the undeclared war on the border. The border coyote's are even exporting Iraqi terrorists to the US. Follow that up with school ground and shopping mall mayhem and the front lines in Iraq are looking good to this blogger as well.

Here’s a thought for consideration, the availability of mature female companionship, concubines, wives and hooker stock is sorely depleted in china as a result of their one child only policy. How about the US Military hire those miners as mercenaries, train them to fight, pay them enlistment bonuses and give them each a Real Doll of their choice for companionship and send them to fight for the freedom’s so many American's demand, but won’t defend. (Real Doll link borrowed from Howard Stern's list of favorites sites).

Hey, buddy can you spare a veteran a roll of duct tape, my skull is killing me and blood is shooting out of my ears. Sometimes I can't get mind brain wrapped around the insanity of this world.

Raven,

A wake up post, without the coffee!

What got me when I travelled through China, India and Asia was how cheap life becomes under such large population numbers... but oh that humilty... if only they could bottle it and ship it to the west.

It was a wake up call for me as well Lilla, and I try to share the message, but I temper it with humor. Not for the sake of those I am sharing the message with, but for myself, the pain of those memories is unpleasant.
