Even Americans on the far left in American politics like Al Franken, Michael Moore and Rachel Maddow shed tears (have to pretend to shed tears?) for American soldiers who died in Iraq. They hold that the soldiers have no responsibility for their war crimes or their own deaths. The soldiers were good Nazis, just following orders. They pretend the soldiers were not fully aware the USA attacked Iraq, not the reverse. They pretend the soldiers did not know the aggressive (first strike) war was illegal, and that aiding and abetting it made them war criminals guilty of a capital crime. They pretend that the Nuremberg trials were a state secret. They pretend the soldiers innocently thought they were defending the USA, even when the soldiers were fully aware all the Iraqis had to defend themselves with were kitchen-made IEDs. To exculpate the beloved can-do-no-wrong must-support-at-all-costs troops, even Al Franken, Michael Moore and Rachel Maddow go along, or pretend to go along, with the Bush’s big lie that the Iraq war was to defend the USA rather than to steal oil despite all the evidence to the contrary that even they personally uncovered.
