On the contrary. If I had the luck to be born in Iraq (and still develop into me as a person): I would leave Iraq and move to the US of A.
Quote:They have to portray their wars as half-assed because the public wouldn't condone straight out conquering, even though that is what they are doing. So they tell us things like FREEDOM, and WMD, and evil terrorists will sneak into your bed and rape your wife.
No... it is half assed warring. They aren't killing off citizens in extermination, and they aren't annexing the places they invade, and they are not taking control over territories they bring down the government of.
It is half-assed war. And they portray it as half of a half-assed war.
Quote:So if the US just started saying, we want your oil, and we want to keep oil trading in dollars, and the reserve currency as the dollar, so we are going to bomb and kill thousands of innocent people, in these countries to get what we want, nananaaaaa we have bigger tanks.
You would be a patriot of that?
Absofuckinglutely.
Quote:How about we shred the military beast, and make it about Defense, like the name implies, even the government did public relations, why do you think they changed it from the Department of War; Department of Defense sounds less aggressive. It's all about how the public perceives things.
And that was my first option for my patriotism. Either war, or don't war. Do not fucking half-ass war or play at some halfbaked-peace. And the motherfuckers do both at the same time.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
