War is Hell

[Archived in Entry, Playstation Dvd Player]

Frank Boosman on 2003/02/20:

  „So the base at al Jaber [Kuwait] is by no means a hardship post. Crew members share air-conditioned mobile homes with a bathroom and a shower, cable TV, a DVD player, and PlayStation 2. They have hearty food, workout facilities, and an officers' club with a paperback library, twenty La-Z-Boy recliners, a big screen for movie viewing, a popcorn machine, and snacks (but no alcohol). The cable TV carries all the major networks and European MTV, and -- perhaps owing to the generosity of the installer -- receives unsolicited X-rated fare late at night.“

Facts, facts and more facts about Middle East (found using query: hell al jaber kuwait)

  „Professor Salman in Baghdad stresses some of the terrible consequences of two totally useless wars: the Iraqi economy, based on oil wealth, collapsed; market forces began to emerge; and the middle class - a very important base for the Ba'ath Party - was smashed by hyperinflation.Jaber says that Saddam's regime managed to survive the 1990s by meticulously applying a five-point strategy: imposition of order in the main tribe; reorganization of the army; co-option of tribes around the country so that they could replace party organizations; more ammunition to the ideological arsenal; and new forms of economic control.State tribalism at the top used to be based on an alliance of Sunni clans around the very important al-Beijat clan. The al-Beijat clan has 10 branches. The center of power was changing among all 10, so seven of them were thoroughly smashed.“
