A-fucking-men!! As a former soldier myself I am TIRED of being told that when sent to some Godforsaken piece of shit country that I must treat the little fuckers who have just tried to kill me BETTER than I myself would be treated as a criminal back home, and then when we turn them over to the local “authorities” and something bad happens to them it’s MY fault…! I’m sorry but that the piece of shit just tried to blow me and my buddies up and when the circuit failed he threw his hands in the air! I could care less if the locals took him out to a ditch on the other side of town! We’re in a WAR people, like it or not and it’s time that our side got used to the idea!!

Huh, treat the nationals who’s country you are in as you would like to be treated when the Chinese come into Canada in about…oh forty to sixty years from now….
Oh and you missed the whole point of that image btw.
Goerge was trying to inform you of why you are so capable of
murder in the name of the Flag. Or did you skip reading 1984 ?
Salut.

On the note of “skipping reading 1984″, I used to work in a grocery store a few years back. At one point in a conversation, I mentioned “Big Brother” to one of the high school seniors that worked there. Kid had no idea what I was talking about. Worse, he’d never even HEARD OF the book 1984 OR GEORGE ORWELL! How is that not required reading in schools anymore?
June 10, 2010 at 10:15 am
Nah, it’s not required reading anymore. Now, they just use it as an employee manual when you get a civil service job.
June 10, 2010 at 11:03 am
It’s scary, soon any book of societal Value will be removed from the school board reading list…replaced by Live in Class Fox and Friends for kids (you get the idea).

Actually, it is required reading: at least it is for AP classes. It was summer reading for me which kind of makes it even more significant. It should be required for all English classes but sadly it isn’t.

Wow, someone completely missed the point.
Wise man once say “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.”
Also, are you Christian? Then follow your own God’s advice: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”
December 6, 2011 at 3:07 pm
Just like the Christians did in the Inquisition or the Crusades or the Holocaust. Yeah, those Christians stick to the bible like it was the word of God or something -

I’m confused about what you are trying o say M[C]C. Is the nationalist the person defending his homeland or are you the nationalist for fighting in a war because you are told to?
June 10, 2010 at 6:42 am
You mean George? He said nationalist and atrocity, not soldier and war. There are soldiers who aren’t nationalists, who consider it just a job. And then there are some who try to justify possible crimes committed by “his” side because of bad personal experiences, like doubleexclamationmark above does. In any case, interpret it however you will but I think George meant it in a broader sense, so don’t let the fact that someone put his quote on some image with the American flag fool you.

A-fucking-women!!
June 10, 2010 at 2:40 pm
Oh Plague Doctor, I need no more reasons to justify my infatuation with you.
June 11, 2010 at 11:11 am
The person is a nationalist for blinding denouncing any criticism of his homeland no matter how justified. For stubbornly ignoring solid proof of atrocities committed by his homeland and/or cooking up weak justifications for them. The type of attitude that was very strong in WW2 Germany…

I just finished playing MGS Peace Walker today, and there was this really nice quote to answer any opinion you may hold on anything related.
June 10, 2010 at 9:32 am
Killing everyone isn’t really the answer..
There is no answer, there is only life and the struggles it creates.

“We didn’t commit atrocities, we did what we had to do to preserve our way of life”
That was the gist of the Nazi arguments at Nuremburg, anyway – that and “I just did what I was told to do”
June 10, 2010 at 9:24 am
“We didn’t commit atrocities, we did what we had to do to preserve our way of life”
Well to be fair, they weren’t the first and won’t be the last….
June 10, 2010 at 10:22 am
Wow, American atrocities?! Really?! Why is it always about America? Why don’t you ask China, Iran, Russia, or the whole continent of Africa about their actions before questioning the US.
June 10, 2010 at 10:34 am
Because America always puts itself in front of the limelight. Every country is to blame. You kinda killed what you were saying with the whole “do not question America” bit.
June 10, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Because Americans should question America. You think we can remain “great” just because we’re so awesome?
June 10, 2010 at 1:13 pm
Less filling !
June 12, 2010 at 9:26 pm
Great taste too…
June 10, 2010 at 4:29 pm
America was started with a question – “can people govern themselves?”
We need to keep asking questions like that.
June 11, 2010 at 11:57 am
America was started by a few Masons from England.
What you’ve just quoted belongs on Fox, not here.
June 12, 2010 at 12:31 am
It’s still a good question.
June 16, 2010 at 2:21 pm
It’s been answered, so many times over….it’s no.
December 6, 2011 at 3:14 pm
We know government by elites doesn’t work – so we don’t have much choice. Make Democracy work or submit to slavery.
