Appointed by Bush in 2003 to distract from the horrors of war, Liberty's antics turned fatal yesterday when he cart-wheeled into a roadside bomb.

Don't you know? We did. Liberty wasn't the first. Freedom was his predecessor. Freedoms disappearance into the name jungle never to be heard from again is what broke our boys resolve. They just couldn't bear to keep fighting knowing that freedom was dead. They knew it was a waste of time life and money and eventually the brass knew it too. Maybe a little too late but we left the steaming hellscape of a jungle much less then we came into it as.

the salt: They recruited Fat Freddies Cat for a while with promises of unlimited fish rations. FF Cat mostly spent his time in the Nam getting high with the troops. Eventually, he developed a nasty smack habit and was sent home. Some say that he was involved in the fragging of an officer who tried to crack down on drugs in the unit. Now you can usually find the elderly cat on San Francisco sidewalks with a sign saying "spare change for a Disabled Vet." It's a sad story.

There really was a mascot from 2003 - 2009 called Smoke. Look him up in wiki. However, he died in 2012 of natural causes: Smoke, also known as Smoke the Donkey, became a mascot and therapy animal for the United States Marine Corps during the 2003 Iraq War. Marine Colonel John Folsom helped rescue the malnourished Iraqi donkey and built a corral and stable at Camp Taqaddum in Iraq from 2008 to 2009 among the Marines of the 1st Marine Logistics Group who were deployed there.[1] Folsom was able to find a Navy psychologist to designate Smoke as a therapy animal in order to address regulations against keeping the animal on the premises. The donkey became popular with the troops who would send photos to children back home.[2]

See, Brigadier Baboon was just clearly trying waaaay too hard with that "Favorite Food: Military Rations" nonsense, but for my money, Jeffrey Bison would have made for a more grounded and wholesome war mascot. I know it's been almost twenty years, but I'm still a little miffed to this day...

My grandfather actually died on the USS Liberty. He was a 34 year old naval officer with two young daughters, hoping to do his duty as his father had in WWII. From what I've heard he was a great guy. My mom grew up without a father because of Israel. She has never forgiven them.

hmm today i will pointlessly explain the joke behind an onion video released a decade ago the ‘death of liberty’ represents american disillusionment with the iraq war, specifically the notion that it was a ‘just crusade’ and criticizes the importance many americans placed on how ‘misguided’ the conflict was - rather than its humanitarian costs. notice that ‘liberty’ is literally “covering up” images of war crimes and suffering - shielding the american public from brutality with comforting notions of the moral righteousness of the ‘american cause’. the sketch does not however suggest that this presentation of the war was thrust upon an unwilling public, rather, americans at home got exactly what they wanted. in voting for ‘liberty’ as they choice mascot, rather than the other candidates who emphasized the practical aspects of waging a costly war in a foreign land, the american public chose ignorance, they chose to be misled. lastly, while the ‘death of liberty’ can be interpreted as americans finally shedding the blinders from their eyes about iraq, this is not so. americans, like the hosts, mourn their supposed “lost innocence” about the war - that they can no longer see it as a just conflict - that ‘liberty’ is not there to erase the suffering. while the ideological element behind the war has been revealed for what it was - a farce - this does not imply clarity. americans did not lose their innocence, because they were never innocent to begin with, only willfully ignorant about the costs of the war, about the efficacy of the war, and about the morality or the war. that americans understand that the war was unfeasible in the long run or led to increased government meddling in domestic affairs does not open them to the vastness of human suffering they created, or helped to create in iraq. this is why the man behind the mascot is never mourned - we do not see ourselves as actors in a tragedy, we do not see the costs of our ignorance. all that exists for us is an ideological mapping, a cause. thus we mourn a broken dream, an ill-starred war, a children’s crusade. thank you for coming to my ted talk

*Its sad because he was in my squad once. I was deployed to Iran to capture a high value leader, and he was with us the whole time. Suddenly a C4 went off and killed half my squad. Me and the rest of us were devastated, until the Puppy started making us laugh, doing funny tricks. We then forgot about our dead brothers and ignored the dismembered bodies, and we all gained the courage to take out the enemy, and successfully raided and captured the leader. It really sucks to lose a hero. Rest In Peace.*
