Life is worth losing...

Does this comment by Carlin strike you as Anti AMerican and reframed as a mercenary but actually anti military without actually saying it and thinking like a terrorist and praising them? How do you explain this?   " Human beings will do anything, anything. I am convinced. That's why when all those beheadings started in Iraq, it didn't bother me. A lot of people here were horrified, 'Whaaaa, beheadings! Beheadings!' What, are you fvcking surprised? Just one more form of extreme human behavior. Besides, who cares about some mercenary civilian contractor from Oklahoma who gets his head cut off? Fvck 'em. Hey Jack, you don't want to get your head cut off? Stay the fvck in Oklahoma. They ain't cuttin' off heads in Oklahoma, far as I know. But I do know this: you strap on a gun and go struttin' around some other man's country, you'd better be ready for some action, Jack. People are touchy about that sort of thing. And let me ask you this... this is a moral question, not rhetorical, I'm looking for the answer: what is the moral difference between cuttin' off one guy's head, or two, or three, or five, or ten - and dropping a big bomb on a hospital and killing a whole bunch of sick kids? Has anybody in authority given you an explanation of the difference?" - George Carlin <3
