Way to go, AJ! By the way, how does it feel that this soldiers wife has to abandon their child to go do the job you’re too fucking chickenshit to do? Must make you feel like a real man, doesn’t it?

You just don’t get it.

How freakin’ HARD this thing is. And LONG. And STRUGGLY.

Just because we once defeated Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in less time than it’s taken us to set up a reasonably functioning state in a Middle East backwater is no reason to get your shorts all in a knot.

Hard. Long. Struggly.

Incompetent fuckuppery of this magnitude could take decades.

Get your head out of Happy Cloud Cuckoo Land and into whatever Land it is that your betters, like AJ, inhabit.

Live Muslims make baby Jesus cry.

Don’t you know that?

At the library the other day, picking up a book I’d had delivered to the branch, I noticed that there was a book waiting to be picked up by “Loren Piestewa”.

If we can’t stop this violence soon I think I’ll fall apart. The idea that little Lori Piestewa’s once tiny child is old enough to be ordering library books gives the scale of what’s been going on. It simply has to stop soon. It has to.

In fact, he’s still not sacrificing a motherfucking thing, except more simple-minded drivel to fuel his own fantasies of the Great War (or as that woman in the Burns’ documentary so aptly put it … the Waaaahhhh).

Plus if his kid joins up and gets killed, we lose one more young American for President Thimbledick’s oil, he loses a son, but the only sacrifice will have been made by the dead man, not daddy the idiot fucking war cheerleader.

These fucking asshats piss me off.
