Bloggystyle -- The Greatest

I started thinking about the Support The Troops nonsense last night during the Real World, when that lunatic Rachel started her whole Iraq and the Army Badge of Courage crap, probably because Lacy looks like Uday's corpse. Not only had Rachel deluded herself into thinking that applying bandaids to soldiers was for the benefit of her roomates' freedom, but she tried to argue with the negro Nehemiah that jail is Candyland compared to Iraq. Being a black man, Nehemiah immediately pointed out that while Rachel soldiers may have been digging holes to take a shit, many incarcerated black men are getting shit dug out of their holes, let alone the fact that Rachel was a nurse. Why couldn't Real World get an actual woman soldier like Jessica Lynch on the show?

And at that point I realized that all the morons driving around with those stickers are basically Rachels. I must say I'm getting pretty goddam sick of seeing these fucking bumper stickers everywhere I go, pretty much because they're the stupidest thing ever invented. Here are some questions I'd like to ask about these things and the Down's stricken individuals buying them.

First, do you clueluess dumbfucks who buy those things honestly believe that you're supporting the troops by buying a $2 bumper sticker and proudly displaying it while you're on the way to go order another Big Mac at McDick's (nh)?

Second, shouldn't it just be automatically assumed that 99.99% of Americans support the troops? And I don't mean support as in sending them something, but support as in we're rooting for them? Do you fucktards think that cars not displaying the bumper sticker are filled with occupants rooting against the troops?

Obviously, your bumper stickers that say Support Our Troops are actually saying Support Bush's policies. You assholes driving around with these things have deluded yourselves into believing that anyone critical of Bush's War in Iraq is unpatriotic and hurting the troops. Here's a novel idea: wouldn't it be a better show of support to our troops to get them the hell out of the shithole where 1800 have already died?

Is it a show of support to send the troops to Iraq without having a clue about how to transform post war Iraq?

Is it a show of support to send the troops to Iraq by misconstruing the evidence to take what could have been a justifiable war to build public support on faulty grounds?

Are the troops in Iraq dying for our freedoms? Of course not. Afghanistan is a completely different story, but soldiers in Iraq are dying because they're obeying orders and doing their job. Even forgetting the psychotic Rachel for a second, the simple truth is that the soldiers dying in Iraq are not protecting us from a damn thing. The 1800 who have died in Iraq will have died in vain unless this Administration and you retards blindly supporting it come to your collective senses and figure out a way to rebuild Iraq and transform it into a stabilized, functioning country. That's not supporting the troops: that's getting our troops killed.

And buying ugly yellow bumper stickers is not going to do the trick.
