HOA grown GIs act like the HOA



US soldiers bulldoze farmers' crops Americans accused of brutal 'punishment'
tactics against villagers, while British are condemned as too soft
By Patrick Cockburn in Dhuluaya
12 October 2003

US soldiers driving bulldozers, with jazz blaring from loudspeakers, have
uprooted ancient groves of date palms as well as orange and lemon trees in
central Iraq as part of a new policy of collective punishment of farmers who do
not give information about guerrillas attacking US troops.

The stumps of palm trees, some 70 years old, protrude from the brown earth
scoured by the bulldozers beside the road at Dhuluaya, a small town 50 miles
north of Baghdad. Local women were yesterday busily bundling together the
branches of the uprooted orange and lemon trees and carrying then back to their
homes for firewood.

Only children who grew-up in the HOA environment are capable of such atrocities.
If you read the article in its entirety you will see that only one GI cried.
We need more HOAs so we can produce more tearless GIs.
