Since Proglodytes have no original thoughts and can only regurgitate what has been instructed to them, especially if it's in a film or song, I'm guessing IdiotBriggs had just heard
Martika's, Toy Soldiers on the radio when she wrote this OP:

Little Toy Soldiers
That's how Bush sees the armed forces. Little toy soldiers that he can play with.
They aren't "real" people; witness the level of disrespect he has for ANY AND ALL "real" soldiers:
== His father.
== John McCain.
== Colin Powell.
== John Kerry.
== General Erik Shinseki.
The list just goes on. He really thinks anyone DUMB enough to sign up to "fight for our country" is ... expendable.
Like little toy soldiers. Knock them down, and pull more out of the box.
They aren't there to fight for "freedom and democracy." They aren't there to "save us all from the terrorists." They are there to steal oil for his buddies, and help Halliburton hide the government handouts.
Its really simple. Its a question of money. Bush was bought and paid for by a bunch of rich people, and the destruction of our armies is simply "collateral damage." Its not like they really matter.
After all, they were "stupid" enough to volunteer, and from his point of view, that makes them...HIS.
His real problem with Cindy Sheehan and the rest of the "peace-niks" is that they keep insisting the soldiers DON'T belong to HIM, but instead belong not just to the families, but to our nation. He can't cope with that; no one ever taught him about decency, patriotism and responsibility.
His parents failed him, and our nation. He is literally, a psychopathic personality with an inability to see anything other than...
...little toy soldiers to be knocked around....

2. In talking to young anti-anti-War protestors at Nichols Fountain, I find
Edited on Mon Aug-29-05 02:02 PM by patrice
that, probably, a significant minority of war supporters assume that different people have different functions in the big scheme of things and they know what those functions are. It is their function to go to Princeton and the University of Chicago and learn how to be the "managers" of those whose function it is to go in harm's way. I imagine some of them justify themselves with the Bible verses about the different parts of the body having different functions, but, note, again, how they assume that they completely know and understand what those differences are, and by virtue of their own position, they have the responsibility to tell others how to function. Blasphemy!
Scratch a "Christian" find a blasphemer.
