"This commercial was done by a local kid. You have to watch the whole thing. When he finishes talking and walks away, you get a sense of how this could be the commercial of the campaign season.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG4fe9GlWS8Actually, the propaganda was nearly enough to make me vomit. He should have said:
"After spending 12 months deployed to somewhere I never should have been, in a desperate attempt to validate myself and the needless death of others, I have lost -- if I ever possessed -- the ability to independently analyze our/my actions." He's a dumbass: noble(?) sacrifice does not impart validity to an action.
To compare Iraq (himself) and Vietnam (McCain) is valid, but it only leads to two, possible, conclusions. Either the two (Iraq/Vietnam) are not alike (undermining his "McCain knows worthy sacrifice" self-drama), or both are a quagmire (meaning "McCain knows unworthy sacrifice," like me). Either way, bad news.
Or, I guess, he could be one of the nutjobs that thinks Vietnam was actually
good for our safety, psyche, and that we actually defended something... Which means that this deluded uber-patriot likely supports other idiotic land wars in Asia...
1. If the Iraqi people want "freedom to prosper," it is THEIR burden to achieve it.
2. Are Iraqis better today than 2002?
What about Americans?3. And, YES, you DO rescue a fireman, if the strategic cost is too big. (Further, when did troops become firemen?)
4. When the Iraqi psuedo-war is called a "mistake," you dishonor nobody, and PROTECT those that could be asked to sacrifice and die to invest further in the rabbit hole.
5. Freedom carries a price, but Iraqi freedom is not our price to bear. Further, it is not as if we are there to promote "freedom." In fact, as long as we're there, their not free: oxymoron.
He can vote for whom he desires, but this guy needs an enema and patriotic detox.
