Re: I agree they were probably real soldiers...

"...but I don't agree that US soldiers apparently telling these street kids what they wanted to loot is much sign of interaction... any more than using native prostitutes during wartime (and this is not just an American hobby)."

My impression was that the American soldiers were trying to give the kids an alternate source of funding so they wouldn't keep feeling compelled to try and defuse landmines.

And yeah, it can't help but have a political dimension and for sure part of what made it so hard to watch was knowing that the realities of life under US occupation didn't come close to measuring up to their hopes about the effects of the invasion.


Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
