I spotted this little wikileaked email over at FDL and noticed that here is a guy, James Casey who believes he's one of the Masters of the Universe giving from his heart, the ruling class' thoughts about Soldiers intelligence and what they do for a living. (

Tactical — and Practical — Considerations
Good Stuff Fred! I can just picture you and I strapping on a big ‘ol one
and leading a Blackwater team into a dangerous motorcade! OK, so maybe
the most dangerous thing we do is cut in line at Starbucks. We’re
too old (and smart) for this other shit. Jim
Emphasis mine
What is clear * is the dripping contempt these insiders hold for young American Soldiers and corporate gun toting mercenaries. These two are no freaks of nature, they infest key positions at the FBI, CIA and the military as well as every exclusively Brahmin niche of society. When they go private, they conspire for money with their proteges still in government to provide them with secret or privileged information.
But back to my point, for any young soldiers who may not get it, the part where he writes that they (Jim & Fred) are "...too old (and smart) for this other shit...", Thats the part where they are calling soldiers stupid and admitting that soldiers do a shit job.
Let me repeat, they say you are a bunch of dumb fucks doing a shit job.
But my favorite bit is the Fantasy of "...strapping on a big ‘ol one and ... cut(ing) in line at Starbucks."
The Horror,,,, The Horror,,,,
You just know that good ole boy Fred burton@stratfor.com got some doughnut spittle on his gun when he read that yuk-yuk.
Re me: I don't like war & I don't like soldiers. I agree their job is shit. But as for stupid? I think in some cases yea, but mostly they are just young & unknowing.
Unlike Saint Orum, (R-SideOfJesus) JFK's speech didn't make me puke, - Turning kids into murderers over oil, ideology or religion; that makes me puke.
* (at least clear to me - Jane Hamsher is looking at this from a different angle: The secret DOJ Assange indictment referred to in a different email. Her post is a very good read on an important matter)
