I think they should all stay home and get boozed up.

4. Thank you for your support...
 It is good to know that you approve of the fact that 25 million people no longer have a murderous thug running their country and kidnapping their families off the street if they say something he does like.

Maybe next time a dictator starts a war against his neighbors, allows his troops to rape, pillage, and murder, loses the war and agrees to abide a cease fire then ignores the agreement we should just stay home and ignore it.

You know, it would be cheaper and easier for the oil companies that run the country to just have the feds buy off the local environmental groups and drill offshore where we know that there is oil instead of having to transport it halfway around the world

8. Do you care at all...
 about the people in this country? You would prefer to invade and occupy a sovereign nation, killing over a million people who did nothing to you, spending trillions of dollars and bankrupting this country over lies? What exactly has been accomplished in 5 years other than a billion dollar embassy and some more military bases? If there is so much oil here, why haven't the oil companies been drilling the land they already lease? Do you care what the people in Florida think about their coastline? Do you care about people at all?

10. I support the troops who want to get the **** home because they know its a scam. 
 Where're you going next? So many dictators, so little tax money...

I believe that people of other nations are strong enough to fight their own battles if they choose to. They're not pathetic subhumans who can't rally on their own behalf and fight and die for their own freedom when and where THEY choose. If you think that the invasion of Iraq had anything to do with humanitarian intervention or "stopping a monster" then you're a deluded. We back dictators all the ****ing time. What was the Shah? An unwanted king with a secret police force. The CIA SHOT MOSSADEQ, the ELECTED president of Iran in the 50s in order to keep the Shah in power? Why? Because Mossadeq who supported elections and democracy wanted to nationalize Iranian oil. We backed and funded the dictator Pinochet in 1973 in order to assassinate the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED president of Chile. We backed and funded numerous successions of right-wing dictators in Guatemala after assassinating Arbenz, the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED president of Guatemala, and we did so in the interests of one corporation: the United Fruit Company.

So don't you dare lecture about how the US fights for democracy. Give us all a ****ing break. The fact that Saddam Hussein is a dictator is purely incidental. Since the 1950s, our government has been hijacked and now we fight for WHOEVER gets in the way of profit, elected or no. We have to spend US taxpayer money to assassinate an elected official to install a right-wing dictator who supports the interests of multinational profit, so be it... that's the new motto.

Sorry. No one is over in Iraq fighting for freedom or peace or America. Originally, they were fighting for the geopolitical positioning of a handful of multinationals who operate under the cover of "securing democracy." Now they're just fighting because they're stuck in a cluster****. But don't worry, more cluster****s are on the horizon in other nations.

Your rhetoric gets no pass because you're a vet. My parents are both disabled vets and I have family and neighbors in Iraq. You're not the only vet in the ****ing world buddy. The vets I know are fully informed about what bullshit this war is and they don't want to die for nothing.

16. Yes, it's much better for us to pay to send in our teenagers to murder, rape and pillage. 
 Get the **** off the internet, moran.

As long as they're foreigners, where's the downside?

28. Locking   
   Do not post broad-brush smears against US service people. Do not blame the troops for the mistakes of their officers or their Commander-in-Chief. Show the appropriate level of respect to those individuals who have put their own lives on the line to defend this country.

Please review the rules:

Thank you.

Just the other day I fabricated a BNN story about defaming troops that had fallen in the line of duty being metaphoriclly spat on by the hippy-crites.

I tried to make it sound as repulsive as possible, so much so, one poor soul that was unaware it was satire became quite enraged.

But alas...

...it seems the DUmmies seem to out-done the offensiveness of my wildest imaginings.

You were not born nor work your whole life on being so mean spirited and hateful.
