that makes his dad proud. Training? Oh, well it IS the ARMY. The
interesting part was that after this dialogue came on the information
(phone number, website) and offer for a FREE SPORTWATCH when you join.
For real? My kingdom for a horse, my life for a happy meal toy. Why
doesn't the war get a myspace at this point along with a YOU LOOKED
BETTER ON t-shirt. God bless America. God bless us all."
I
don't remember deciding what country I would be born in? My parents
just happened to be in Illinois at the time. It seems like a complete
accident. How are people proud of that? Big Deal. Move on.
But
that's how the old men get the young to go kill and die. There's always
somebody out there who dissagrees with whatever flag you happen to be
standing under. They always want to kill you and take your stuff. So we
send our young to kill them and take their stuff first. It's a basic
instinct in action. We band together in packs and herds and whatnot.
The USA is a big herd of people with sharp fuckin claws and bloody
bloody fangs. Its enemies are no less viscious when provoked. That's
the world we all live in.
Unfortunately, the top dog has just
been spanked with a newspaper and is stubbornly deciding his next move.
A Free Sports Watch? That's fucking brilliant, guys. That'll get em
lined up around the block just begging to enlist so's they can get
their greasy little dickskinners on that Free Sports Watch! I'm
thinking about re-enlisting right now. I could use a good Sports Watch!
I could count down the seconds until I die in a dessert half way around
the world.
That's just sad is what that is. It's sad. |
