“What you fail to understand is that the purpose of soldiers, is not to do a job and get the GI Bill… All that’s changed, is you are now here to support the mission against radical muslims instead of commies.”
What makes you think I fail to understand what the job of a soldier is? Where did I say there job was anything other than to defeat the enemy and protect our country? My point wasn’t that their deaths are a problem because they now can’t perform their duties. My point was that their deaths are a problem because now they’re dead, and for no reason.
Which brings me back to my question, the one nobody seems to be able to answer: Why?
(And by the way, the reason I generally won’t bring up Limbaugh or Hannity is that I wouldn’t assume that anyone listens to them anymore than I’d assume anyone has an IQ of 80. Which is about the IQ it would take to listen to them and not see them for the ridiculous, mindless buffoons that they are. Of course, if somebody admits to me that they admire one of those clowns, that’s a different story. But nobody ever admits that. Sometimes I’ll listen to them for as long as I can stomach just to see what they’re saying. And it’s always the same: whiny mocking of “liberals,” downplaying the bush administration’s incompetence, blaming the results of the bush administration’s incompetence on somebody else, and mindlessly promoting the republican platform (god forbid they should have an original idea that doesn’t conform to the conservative agenda). And callers who’s motto is “dittos.” As in, I can just ditto what you say, Rush, because I can’t think for myself. That may be the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard. Who would be proud of saying “dittos?” And Hannity and Limbaugh’s partisanship is extreme to the point of ridiculousness. Can you even imagine if a democrat were president and congress were democratic and they were doing the exact same thing that bush/congress are doing? The exact same thing. Every action, every speech, every vote? These clowns would be livid. Their reaction would be exactly the opposite of what it is now. Because they can’t think for themselves. All they know is, everything the conservatives do is right, and everything the liberals do is wrong. And they’ll use some tortured logic and some crazy spin to try and make it sound that way. Unfortunately, huge numbers of people in this country can’t seem to see through the flaws in their logic and the spin on their curveballs. Anyway, I just wasted 10 minutes of my life typing about 2 wastes of time and energy. I regret that.)
