They live far better than any of us in the Infantry ever did while in Iraq. Not a single prisoner in the US has ever had to sleep in a foxhole with water in the bottom of it, or sleep leaning up against a HMMWV tire with a poncho pulled over your head during a sand storm or go 48 hours without sleep, with firefights interspersed throughout that time. Not that I am complaining, far from it. It is what we just had to do to survive and fulfill the mission. We didn't like it; we just accepted it as the way it was and did our best to make the best of it. At least we had MRE's to eat and not those old dreaded C-RATS! Those were beyond miserable. Except for the beanie-wienies, those weren't so bad if you drowned them in hot sauce.
If prisoners want sympathy from me, they can look in the dictionary between s**t and syphilis. Prison is not supposed to be summer camp, however the powers that be seem bound and determined to turn it into one.
I know the prisoners here in Kollifornia live high on the hog, and I am NOT for it. Just a lonely conservative Tea Partier here in Los Angeles, grinding my teeth at the idiocy that passes for justice here in lala land.
Kudos to you Infantry folks, too, and many thanks. We stand behind you all the way.
