An example of the brain-dead |
|
Here is a forwarded chain email I received from a right wing "friend". To think that there are people who still think this way, after all the information that has come forth since the invasion, is truly remarkable.
Hold your nose:
Two US Marines are listening to the radio in Iraq.
"American soldiers," coos a soft female voice, "Your so-called national Leaders have lied to you. You are needlessly risking your lives to wage a useless, unjust, illegal, and unwinnable war. Now is the time to return home to your loved ones, while you are still alive. If you foolishly insist on remaining where you are not wanted, the brave resistance fighters will have no choice but to kill you and add your name to the long ever-increasing casualty list of this insane war.
So why risk never seeing your loved ones again for a so-called president who has repeatedly lied and deceived you at every opportunity? Why should you be sacrificed so that US corporations can enjoy fatter profits? The only wise thing to do is return home now, while you are still drawing a breath, before you return zippered into a body bag."
"What's this?" sneers one Marine. "An Islamo-terrorist version of Tokyo Rose?"
"No," answers the other. "It's just CNN!"

2. This is listed in Snopes as a joke, not a true story. |

You should ask your right-winger "friend" when he plans on joining up.

7. Seems that the fearful ones forget that radio shows such as Tokyo Rose |
|
were listened to by american service men who enjoyed the music they played and found the people like Tokyo Rose a great source of amusement. It was also tried in Korea and Viet Nam with about the same effect. The only ones that seemed to be bothered by it were the chicken hawks who never even heard the radio shows.
