| #1 Saw the same thing happen in Kuwait back in the First Gulf War...must be a common occurrence. The owner of a Kuwaiti trucking company started beating one of his employees with a tire tool in front of our guys. Our guys stepped in and took the tire iron from the Sheikh, roughed him up, and run his azz off. The "employee" was an indentured servant/slave owned by the Sheikh for two years while he worked off the cost of his flight into the country. When the Kuwaiti government attempted to pay the US troops to fight when their young men would not, it pissed our guys off - we knew then they only considered us mercenaries. If they had the power - they would beat us like slaves too. |
