I am so F***ing tired of war
Gotta rant: Took my son to basketball this weekend, and once again, one of the parents was explaining to another why her Daughter had no Dad at the game- He was in Afghanistan. The kid had a National geographic map of the country on her lap and was trying to figure out where he was. This has happened around me many times- I live in a town with a big military base. God I am sick of us sending troops to the other side of the world, to a broken and unfixable country, to fight an "enemy" who's main wish is for us to just go away. The next time I hear "but it is to make us safe" I'm going to scream at them "tell that to the hundreds of soldiers dying over there, and the thousands injured, and the tens of thousands of families with a loved one over there, just how "safe" they really are. Just so YOU can feel 1/10000000000 of a percent safer from some airplane hijacker...
Okay DUmmie, fair enough. I'm also sick of war...Now, what's your solution to the problem the islamofascists have with the civilized world?
How would you deal with them? If you were Nick Berg's father, what would you have done when that cocksucker started sawing on your son's neck?
If you were Daniel Pearl's wife, what would you have done when that cocksucker started sawing on your husband's neck?
If your brother was seen hanging from a bridge in Iraq, burned beyond recognition, what would you have done?
If your nephew was last seen being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu, what would you suggest we, as Americans, do?
I'd really like to know. We hear all kinds of effin" problems...how about some solutions.
