We all know about THEM. Those people. Not us. The ones upon whom we can safely blame all which is wrong with the world. Because, you see, they’re THEM. Not US.
A mil-blogger stationed in Iraq discovers to his horror that he may be becoming one of THEM[*1] :
I have had the most terrible realization in the whole time I have been here in Iraq. Since I moved up to Baghdad and began working for MNSTC-I[*2] , I have become one of the people at the “Puzzle Palace”. I’m one of the guys at the Head Shed. I’m part of the “they” as in “they @#$%ed things up, back there in Baghdad” as spoken by people in the field (I know, I was one of ’em).
Oh no, I might become one of “THEM”!
Cue the cheezy 1950’s sci-fi/Psycho movie shreeking violins. Shreek! Shreek! Shreek! Shreek!
