More "F_CK THE TROOPS"
From Bryan Crawford:
I figured it would be as good a time as any to remind those who need reminding that we as Americans don't have any obligation to sit here and pretend like we support our troops if all they're going to do is go places and fuck up. Throwing our support behind these people just because they're out there in harm's way will only encourage the President to send more and more of them over there. At some point, we just need to be like, "Fuck it."
It would be one thing if they were defending us from something, but they aren't. I could also see if these people were unfortunate enough to have been drafted, but they weren't. The fact that they even thought to sign up for the Army, especially after the attacks of 9/11 and what have you, means that, let's face it, these aren't our best or our brightest. If they signed up because they thought they were going over there to spread democracy, or whatever the excuse was at the time, then they're stupid and if they signed up because they thought that by doing so, they could make more than I'll make this year at The Asshole, then they're both stupid and dumb. Either way, I'm tired of pretending like I give a shit about them one way or the other.
