The military costs money -- we pay the bill with taxes

1. fuck 'em n/t

[w4rma]

16. ditto. (nt)

[hatrack]

2. Oh, the humanity!

Funny thing, if they had their "headquarters" in the US, the odds are that police and security services would be available, even in the wake of a disaster.

Shame, though, that on a small tax-free island nation, there's no one there to protect their assets. But we wouldn't want any government interference with the market-driven course of events (i.e. mobs of looters), now would we?

After all, those looters are just pursuing their rational self- interest for food, clothing, shelter and money.

5. Really! These looters are just expressing the will of the free market

This is the "invisible hand" in action, people!

[TahitiNut]

8. Yup. It's "trickle down" in action.

The mailbox CEO's can go Cheney themselves.

[skypilot]

3. I'm sure we can spare a few people

...to guard their mailboxes. Fuck that.

[Vickers]

4. Wow, do they SEE how wrong that is?

But you know what? I wouldn't be surprised if troops are sent down there.

6. Tell them our children are busy

[hatrack]

9. Thank you, SLAD . . . .

This is all that these whiny tax-dodging assholes need to know.

[BiggJawn]

7. Wait a minute......

They want the US to send TROOPS to guard the "Mailboxes 'R' Us" in the Caymans?

Whoo is going to want to loot a Post Office Box or a Mail Drop...

That's taking the charade just a little too far, IMO..

[George W. Dunce]

10. Let me see

You run away so you don't have to pay taxes to support things like the military, but now you need help and you call on...... the military? Just another republican without a brain. You just can't make shit up that is that stupid.

[BiggJawn]

15. Really...Why don't they call KBR?

That's what these Fascists are always hollering, that the Private Sector is so much more cost-effective...

[blindpig]

11. more proof that irony is the organizing principle of the universe. n/t

[AntiFascist]

12. I have an idea....

This would make a great work program for prisoners at Guantanamo.

[nostamj]

13. well, they know what their man RUMMY said about LOOTERS...

just expressing their messy FREEDOM...

besides, they're just looting the same POB over and over again anyway....

[Karenina]

14. Corporate interests

have been the American military JOB ONE for quite some time now. :shrug:

Google: Smedley Butler

[mitchum]

17. Up against the wall!

[enfield collector]

18. no sympathy.

[JetJaguar]

19. They can go to Hell

Visit Hell


You can go to Hell and then come back with tales of a blackened and jagged rock formation that gives this little district in West Bay its name. Hell's intriguing weathered rock formation is over 1 1/2 million years old and resembles the charred remains of a hell fire. Hell's own post office was opened in 1962 for tourists who wanted to send postcards from Hell.
