The U.S. Military has a Racist Genocidal Policy toward all "Hodgies"

Iraq veterans have cited over and over that the U.S. military is profoundly racist by policy. They refer to all Muslims as "hodgie" a slang form of Hajji, which is a Muslim term of respect. They hardly use the term with any respect. Disdain and contempt are more fitting adjectives.

Is it a misuse of the terms to say the U.S. commits genocide? I don't think so. The Holocaust Museum (http://www.ushmm.org/genocide/take_action/genocide) defines genocide as follows:
_____________________________________________________
Genocide is a term created during the Holocaust and declared an international crime in the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The Convention defines genocide as any of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

a. Killing members of the group;
b. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
c. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
d. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
e. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

The specific "intent to destroy" particular groups is unique to genocide. A closely related category of international law, crimes against humanity, is defined as widespread or systematic attacks against civilians.

The U.S. does indeed have the "intent to destroy" members of the Islamic culture anytime they can get away with it. They have given directives as such to troops who testified to this fact. These are not isolated incidents or just a few "bad eggs". This is the United States of America's racist genocidal policy practiced as a standard by our military.

On top of this as a humanitarian and international crime it is also a crime toward our own veterans. It is a crime the U.S. military has waged upon our own nation and our own citizens. Our veterans come home with serious mental problems coping with the fact they have killed innocent civilians, including women, children, babies and innocent men and boys. Often this leads to suicide or the inability to cope with life, to work, to interact with people, and to live as a human being.

Support our troops. Before anyone attempts to refute these facts please review the veterans' testimonies at http://ivaw.org/wintersoldier. These veterans have been there. Have you?
