Levi, I ain't seeing the Jack, Jack.

Joker, the reason we are in the shape we are in is because too many people in this country who were born post WWII have no idea what they have being a citizen of this country. They have no idea what it cost to get the freedoms that we have and what is takes to maintain those freedoms. That goes for foreign relations as well as domestic issues. I personally wouldn't have cared one whit if we had made a parking lot out of the entire Middle East on 9/12. But no, we are trying to repeat our mistakes made in Vietnam. It doesn't work. If you're going to be in a war, you need to be in it to win. Fuck the rest of the world and their opinions. Everything in this world boils down to a simple "Us against Them" struggle. The "Us" may be as big as our country against "Them" being "The World" . Or it may be as small as the Individual or your family against the rest of the world or the next door neighbors. In the end, the only thing that matters is your survival as an individual. You do what it takes to assure that. Sound harsh? You bet. But life is harsh and those who would take what you have are harsh. You better be prepared to reply in kind or you are toast.

So many Americans get their panties in a bunch because so many American soldiers are dying in this piece of shit war. Well, first of all, it really isn't necessary for a single American soldier to die it this war but that's another discussion. As for the cost of what we have in American lives, look up how many American soldiers died on just the first day of the Normandy Invasion. That's just one fucking day in a long war. I, for one, am damn glad they made that sacrifice. Without it we would have already been living in that police state that these people are talking about for the past 60 years.

Meh, / useless rant. The wusses in this country are hell bent on selling us down the river in the name of peace, love and caring. They won't know what they pissed away until it's too late. I'm a crotchety old fart but glad I won't be around (maybe) to see it when it happens.
