Sometimes you project onto people what YOU really are thinking

[CatWoman]

Remember PVT Lynch's "rescue"?

We were told she was raped anally.

They were so quick to say that, because they were doing that and much more to the Iraqis.

1. These soldiers are in an "dry" nation

No booze allowed, no hookers, no drugs, no nothing. What the hell kind of war zone is this? Now, imagine how YOU would feel with no sex or human contact, unless it was to tourniquet a wound or shoot an approaching stranger, for a year or more. A YEAR OR MORE.

I wouldn't be surprised it this was almost an R&R type event for those "soldiers." Away from the prying eyes of Islam they get to vent a bit, whether they choose to do that sexually, or through some humiliation of the people who "made them be here."

It is pure hypothesis. But I thought about it after talking to a vet who spent time in Nam and the Phillipines. R&R was R&R, baby! Cheap hookers and even cheaper hooch and Thai sticks. And much shorter tours.

You're gonna have some very frustrated and very fucked up vets returning after these tour in Bush's hell.

2. Psychologically screwed up people do almost nothing

BUT project their own messed up selves onto others.

[Mrs. Overall]

3. Projecting one's shadow onto others is a dangerous thing--

"...this man has been chasing around Europe like a madman in search of something he could set on fire...again and again he finds hirelings who open the gates of their country to this international incendiary."

This is Adolph Hitler's description of Churchill.
