I'll take a closer look at these later but a fast once over gives me this -- that third link is talking about the 44-day dude. He is also front and center in the first one, but of the various other cases cited there, none made political statements; all were simply self-aggrandizing. Ditto all the people in your second link, which actually characterizes them as losers with poor self-esteem.
I still think though, that even someone who never got further than stateside or Okinawa at least signed up, as opposed to claiming a pimple on the ass.... But oh let's say these women: http://www.alibi.com/index.php?story=12550&scn=news Are they phony Blue Star mothers? What about this guy: http://www.alibi.com/index.php?story=8301&scn=news Is he a phony soldier? The people this story mentions: http://www.alibi.com/index.php?story=10575&scn=feature http://www.alibi.com/index.php?story=11060&scn=news http://www.alibi.com/index.php?story=10661&scn=news are they phony soldiers too? Geez. I didn't even find the story I was looking for about National Guardmen (in Iraq) being force to strip to prove they didn't have gang tattoos. I think the people who worry about Jesse what's his name are doing exactly what the bushies want -- keeping their mind occupied with other things than the central question: what exactly is all of this supposed to be in aid of. What is this very heavy price being paid for?
