Kerry beats Bush in US marine latrines
By Ned Parker in Al-asad airbase (Iraq)
Thursday, 30 September , 2004, 10:27
The US military, which traditionally avoids meddling in
politics, is expressing its views about the US presidential
race in the one place where a soldier can speak
his mind freely: the latrines.
Here, in graffiti, young soldiers wax philosophical -- albeit
crudely and with a fondness for four-letter words -- about
God, death, President George W. Bush and his democratic
rival John Kerry.
And, if one straw poll is to be believed on this gigantic
air base in the western Iraqi desert, Kerry is due to
rout Bush in the November 2 elections, after the
Massachusetts senator picked up 73 votes to 58 on the
bathroom wall. Discuss: These Marines are expressing
a popular opinion, Kerry will surely topple Bush
However, the vote has come in for criticism amid
suspicions Kerry supporters voted more than once
due to the identical hashmarks on his side of the
column inside the foul, humid brown and green
plastic stalls, known as "Port-a-Johns".
While independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader
received nary a mention, some marines nominated
pornography kingpins Hugh Hefner and Larry Flynt
onto the latrine wall ballots.
Heavy Metal gods Slayer and Rob Zombie received
11th-hour nominations from men in uniform to run
for the White House. The bathroom wall vents a
surprising amount of anger over Bush, considered
by many rank-and-file a great wartime president,
and heaps a mountain of cynicism on the US presence in Iraq.
Much of the bile is dedicated to denigrating Bush's
homestate of Texas, the land of cowboys and
toughness that has come to define his wartime
presidency. "Here I sit cheeks a-flexin'. Bout to
make another Texan," one rhyme reads, repeated
in multiple stalls.
"F*** Texas" reads another slogan, prompting
threats of death from a defender of the Lonestar
state. Another slogan reads: "Texas = steers
and queers," in a crude verbal assault on Texans'
code of manhood.
One diatribe says: "The only thing Bush cares
about is a good fight to make a name for himself.
If you think he really cares about us you're out
of your f***ing mind. If you really believe 9/11
is related to Iraq then you're just as delusional
as the hippie freak that thinks there will ever be
world peace. You're not fighting for America.
You're fighting for f***ed-up politics. End of
story Cinderella."
( WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop and
re-read that last one above again from a US Marine
and let's hope he runs for Congress someday.)
Another pundit opines: "If you are a retard, vote Bush.
He is too!" Bush supporters fire back with accusations
that Kerry will sink the military.
They belittle his military service in Vietnam and write:
"A traitor ever since Vietnam, when he lied about
his actions," in reference to charges brought against
Kerry by a dubious group of military veterans in August.
"If you want a huge pay cut, vote Kerry," writes one
bathroom scribe, voicing the grunt soldier's belief
that the Democrats will gut the armed forces.
"If you want a p**** in office vote Kerry."
But Kerry gets off scot-free compared to Bush, who
is called 'a scumbag, alcoholic, draft-dodging
millionaire daddy's boy,' in reference to Bush's wild
youth and lingering questions about his national
guard service during Vietnam.
Commenting on the marines' bathroom debating
society, Lieutenant Josh Walton suggested the
stalls had a loosening effect on the soldiers,
especially the service's smaller number of Kerry supporters.
"You can put out what you want. It's pretty anonymous,"
Walton said. "If you want to be a jokester, express
what you feel, you can put it up there."
Amid the scrawled expletives -- interspersed with
rants against female marines and paeans to the virtues
of other soldiers' wives, sisters and mothers --
some men offered sober and cynical reflections on
the American mission in Iraq. In black magic marker, a
soldier scrawled a maxim from Plato that rings true
whoever wins the November election: "Only the dead have
seen the end of war."

Interesting. IIRC, most of our enlistees and reservists are from the more
conservative areas that are expected to go for Bush. If these folks are writing
home about their opinions, there may be an upset in the bible belt.

I wondered if this bit was intentionally comic:
"Commenting on the marines' bathroom debating

So cleverly put, to make you wonder just that.

Okay guys, so what's your personal favorite?
Mine has always been the one way up by the ceiling, where you almost have to
squint to read it.
It's the one that says: What are you looking up here for? The joke is in
your hands!
