By the way, I find this live interviewing of soldiers waiting to invade just a little weird. I realize that TV ratings are more important than anything else, but don't you all find it just a bit odd, to be seeing a guy interviewed on live TV waiting to invade a country, whose military is probably watching the same network?
Difference being, their screen probably has a voice-over.
In which the american soldier is talking exuberantly about being eager to start the killing, torturing, and raping.

Well, the Iraqi military is probably watching the real thing, but as far as everyone else,.......
Even weirder to me is all the discussion about attck plans and the up-to-date info as to the situation. Seems like that helps the Iraqis. Times sure have changed.
Born in 1974, so the only real past experience I have is the CNN - I mean, Gulf War and since. So, it doesn't strike me as odd. These guys have been training so hard, for so long, (I hope) they're prepared so battle would be almost second nature. Maybe it might also help the soldiers, giving them some distraction from what is to come? Like, a way to release nervous tension?
As for tipping off the enemy, all they're really saying is "We're in northern Kuwait, waiting to advance..." Kuwait's not as large as Iraq, but it's still big enough that it'd be like saying "We're in north Jersey..." Not enough information to be crucial. Besides, we've been building up so long, that it's no surprise our military is in north Kuwait.If everything seems to be going well, you've obviously overlooked something.
Drink when:
You get a lump in your throat thinking about the fact that a whole bunch of real live people are being turning into real dead bodies
X2 if you know several people in the middle of it and the lump in your throat is big enough that it made it hard to swallow the first time
