Too many fought & died to prevent America from ending up like this
starting with those who fought and died at valley forge. tyranny is what they fought, tyranny is what they died trying to prevent.

tyranny in the 21st century has killed 2000 soldiers, and hundreds of thousands 'over there', tyranny and lies. many of those 'over there' didn't even get a chance to fight, mothers and children and old men can't fight, but they were killed regardless.

tyranny went on vacation 4 years ago and 'allowed' 3000 to die in one hour, and tyranny exploited those who fell and died, and tyranny grips the nation like a virulent virus.

too many men and women signed up, and too many 'fullfilled their duties' above and beyond the call for a draft dodging deserter to send brave soldiers to die for NOTHING but tyranny and piracy.

too damned many.

1. yep, we're in a fascist dictatorship now
Not long before Bushler kicks off his own dirty little holocaust.

These are direct descendents of the Nazis the common people of 65 years ago (and with far greater losses, the Russians) fought off in WWII. Not to say they weren't running rampant in our country even then (c.f. Prescott Bush). It is exactly that dire. We dare not laugh it off with "Godwin's law."

2. Seems few are paying attention
The "dynasty" that has seized the Amurikkan gubmint has been entrenched for generations. Here's a picture for modern times. It's an OLD one and now worth at least a hundred thousand words. WHAT is NOT to get? :shrug:

7. And HE fucking busted their asses.
The regular troops following orders in Iraq are NOT heroes. James Darby is a HERO. Kevin Benderman is a HERO. There are at LEAST 3 more whose names escape my aging brain. Smedley Darlington Butler TOLD THE TRUTH and those whose names have escaped me in my senior moment are his heirs.

camp.
