Not only did you miss the whole point of the post, but it’s clear that you don’t put too much thought into your “critique”. And hence, you’re a dumb cunt. There is not one thing racist about the post, and it definitely didn’t imply that everyone (or even the majority) of the US military is a “white Christian”. So why don’t you just go hang yourself? Oh, and don’t break your arm while patting yourself on the back for being so progressive and tolerant that you are marrying an “Arab Palestinian man”. Does he know he’s about to make a commitment to a dumb, worthless twat with no sense of humor? He should stick to eating hummus instead of a dumb, shallow twat with no forethought or appreciation of satire. Hummus also tends to smell pleasant, doesn’t contain herpes, and goes well with crackers (okay, that one was a little racist). So in closing, go fuck yourself and thanks for your comment!

I agree with everything you are saying with one exception… not everyone in America, army or the military ect. are “white christians”! Helloooooo our President is a BLACK MUSLIM. Do you even realize how stupid your last statement sounded not to mention how uninformed you sound. You sound like a 15 yr old hypocritical racist. You are thinking exactly like the people you are insulting…but oh I forgot its acceptable to be racist against “White Americans” right? Now to my point, do I think what SOME of our troops are doing is right …no. Do I think America an many other nations are misinformed about what is actually taking place in many situations over seas hell yes! Do I think you need to take a step back and look other races point of veiw…stop looking at people as whole based on their ethnicity an judge people as individuals!!!! I think you will come to find that many “White Americans” are not racis, that many racist people like you use our nations past as a cruch to make your own racist point. btw I am a White American girl who is about to marry an Arab Palestinian man after 4 yrs of being together… RACISM IS RACISM NO MATTER WHAT YOUR RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This exact same thing is happening in the UK, largely whipped up by the tabloid media.

The military over here aggressively market themselves to young working class men who didn’t do so well at school and don’t really see any other choices – it’s a guaranteed job for them. (Ever heard the Elvis Costello song ‘Oliver’s Army’? It’s about this.)

And while I kind of sympathize with their frustration, (the manufacturing industry used to thrive around here but thanks to Maggie Thatcher there really aren’t jobs for young men who aren’t academically inclined) I live in the nearest town to Catterick Garrison, the UK’s largest army base, and every weekend the town is full of moronic drunk recruits starting fights and vomiting all over the place. Then when bars ban armed forces personnel because of the trouble, the local paper will run an article about how shamefully the ‘heroes’ are being treated.

I’d have to argue that I think we were actually defending something during WWII as well. I’d also add that, all blood money-making aside, simply HAVING a standing military is, in some way, “defending the country.”

But there’s always going to be some fucker trying to misuse the military. And everything else, for that matter.

Yeah what more can i say? The entire country is completely brainwashed to believe whatever they are told so what more can you do? “but they said it on CNN it HAS to be true!!” -shrug- I have respect for people who deserve respect not just some average joe who says “im gonna join the fucking army today and you better respect me because im fighting for your freedom!” Half the people the media say are “heros” are people who just fucking sat there and did NOTHING! Jessica Lynch for example she wasnt a fucking hero! she just sat there and waited to be rescued! What about the soldiers who risked their lives to save her, does anyone know even one of their names? Of course not. All the real heros i know are fucking dead… because they put their life on the line and they were willing to lose it for what they believed in and by god they gave all they could..
