"They are fighting for YOUR Freedom" - No "they" Aren't

[matcom]

:eyes:

ran out for ice cream tonight. stopped at a local store. got 2 anti-Bush bumper stickers. Customer noticed and told me that Bush was "doing the best job he could."

I said, "Yes, and its sad that is the best he can do. If we had somebody in office that had half a brain, I am SURE he could do better."

He said, "Well, I am glad our troops are fighting for your freedom."

Me: "Look pal. The only thing they are fighting for is A) To come home alive and B) Because their government wants to play politics using bullets to justify their global domination. The Iraq "war" has to do with geo-political maneuvering, oil rights, economic pandering and U.S. elections. If YOU support this fight so millionaire political elitists can further their careers, then YOU are about as 'Un-American' as they come."

Blank stare follows....

I finished: "BTW 'my friend', I served in the Army. The only thing sicker than your lack of understanding regarding this war is that YOU profess to support Vets (ME). Save it for someone who is on your team. I sure as hell am not and neither are MANY of the guys & gals getting their asses shot for YOUR politicians political gains."


my ice cream (in case you were wondering) tastes GREAT

3. What flavour is the ice cream?

And when it's gone, go kick his ass again.

4. You used too many big words when you talked to him

sounds like he has the IQ of his fuhrer.. you probably confused him with words such as : global domination, geo-political maneuvering. etc.. :D


good job!!

5. People like that are such assholes. BTW, was he of enlistment age? n/t

[matcom]

6. nope. my guess was about 45 or so

of course, you NEVER know. they MIGHT take him when they get desperate enough

[lachattefolle]

7. Screw that, my poor hubby is 46 and STILL on active duty. He could

be sent any time. Same with lots of older guys and gals called back from retirement. Asshole is young enough!

[matcom]

i'm so sorry

x(

[lachattefolle]

11. Eh, he will be putting in for retirement in two months after having alread

been denied before due to STOP LOSS. Cross your fingers he gets out before he gets sent (he's with a non deployed unit). I would say pray, but we are oddball Army creatures-liberal atheists, LOL.

14. I remember

seeing a photo in someone's sig of an old guy who's in Iraq! He looked to be about the age of my grandfather (73)! Also on the Daily show they talked about sending sixty year olds to Iraq earlier this year! Stewart was like "Grandma, is that you?"

[lachattefolle]

15. Yep, pathethic when you think of all those able bodied, if feeble

minded FReepers out there.

8. Oh man!

Was his head spinning after you got through with him, or was the blank stare permanently affixed to his face?

[matcom]
