New Army commercial

[Deja Q]

Viktor from Russia expounds on how he's glad to be in America because of freedom to express himself.

He listed off a bunch of things. If I had a pencil and paper, I'd write down all the propaganda.

But he's lying.

Poeple who speak out loud or express themselves usually end up in trouble. Speak up with bumper stickers? Get keyed. Speak up in a rally? Those against you will retaliate. Bush* himself has said plenty of things proving he's against free speech and those who are against his policies, animal as he is...

I wish I could remember it all, but it's a disgusting commercial full of inaccuracies. :-(

1. I've seen it, and could accept it, IF...

IF the Army were actually used for goddamned DEFENSE!!

:grr:

[Deja Q]

2. Agreed

Defense or not sponsoring an offensive regime like *'s. (offensive in a military stance or social stance, how * treats the American people and their "freedoms"...)

3. I liked the Viktor commercial

It was pretty revealing about who the army is targeting these days: the poor, minorities, and immigrants like Viktor. The U.S. army is becoming more and more of a green card army. It's current count of non U.S. citizen soldiers is around 40,000.

I see Bush's amnesty proposal for illegals as a precursor to conscripting them when the draft is revived. Soon we will have an entire army of Viktors and Jorges.

5. I find it disgusting

That men and women who fight and die for our country are not made citizens. Service should guarantee citizenship.

4. and these immigrants will have NOTHING in common with

American citizens when they become agents of oppression. Meet the new brown shirts.
