Re: Haditha verdict: 24 dead, 0 punishment

More words of wisdom from our state department employee. Only the best and brightest!

Quote:
I don't want to sound like a 'softy', but once upon a time
the Press was patriotic, pro-military, and ON OUR SIDE.


You could piss in the Rhine River. You could 'blow up' or
'pull down' a statue of the leader whose country you just 'overran'.


You could take something 'special' from the battlefield
that would look good in your team room, your headquarters or your unit's
museum.


However, today it appears that all of this good 'fun' and
celebration of your victory on the battlefield has now become so 'negative'
or 'anti-US military'.


It's all part of that terrible thing called "Political
Correctness".
Also, the law firm defended Allen West during his "incident", and they remained close. I've seen 3 of West's email accounts already, and one of the first things Puckett did when he realized their email was hacked was to send West an email warning him (lol at not realizing the warning email would also become public). War criminals are a tight-knit bunch apparently.

Robin Hood isn't a terrorist to you?

ETA: Also selection bias FTW. Pretty sure a rather large percentage of the populace thinks Anonymous are terrorists.

I'm referring of course to Americans, not Americans who blog or post on 2p2.

That pic's purpose is probably to make anon furious, not to tell an accurate story of Anonymous.
