The grossly obese Syrian officer was coming in the door of the King
Khalid Military City exchange while I was coming out. I saw instantly
that this was no soldier; this was a thug, a threat only to the unarmed
civilians that are his kind’s prey. My eyes fell downward from his cruel
face to the piece of flair gracing his olive green fatigues.
“Nice Assad button,” I sneered. Real warriors don’t wear pictures of dictators on their uniform. He glared back at me with his dark, rat eyes, not understanding my words but fully appreciating my contempt. Though Syria was a putative coalition partner, I knew I was staring at an enemy.
Not much has changed since Operation Desert Storm. The Syrian regime’s “soldiers” are still just punks fit only to oppress the defenseless, unable to even hold their own against a ragged band of barely-armed insurgents. But like the vast majority of Americans, I have grave concerns about attacking them.
