16. You'll need to get your closeups from the morgue.
Because those guys are dead.

They died for our sins.

23. Then I call this another waste
So many perfectly wonderful young men and women have died and for what? To make a bunch of perfectly awful old men and women even more awful and more rich than they were to start with. AWOL Bush, Five Deferments Cheney, PimpleAss Limbaugh, I'm-Depressed Tancredo, the Hannitys, the whole sorryass bunch on the right who are ready to cheerlead for war, so long as someone else is doing the all that sweaty fighting and dying.

I served, way-back-when, but I served. Volunteered twice. WTF is wrong with them? Couldn't they do something for their country even the once? Oh, right. I forgot. They're republicans, ergo, too good to get their hands dirty with something like actual work or actual patriotism beyond mouthing a bunch of slogans fed to them by the RNC.

That's not patriotism. That's either garden-variety stupidity or the picture of abject laziness. Take your pick.

I'm not sure what the point of the OP was, leaving the photo to hang out there to be clarified later way down-thread.

3. And I pay taxes to insure that they don't turn their sights on you and me.
I am not one to have blind trust in our military and certainly not in the most indoctrinated segments of it. Call them heroes if you like, but I have little stomach for our Special armed forces.

19. I think they would be the last segment of the military to turn on civilians
Being the best trained and educated and all.

You probably have more to fear from the 18 year old fresh out of boot camp.

If you have anything to fear at all.

Which you probably don't.

4. The words and the picture would make a nice sign to have
if you were to try to educate the teabaggers.

14. Local one doesn't start til 6.
And it's kind of crappy out. I think I'll still go though, the opportunity to get some pictures of idiots presenting themselves doesn't come along too often. There will probably be a lot of overtly racists signage too. We'll see. I may just bag it. :D

8. And, I pay taxes so these Seals can do their jobs and
my sister can teach school, and the police and firemen in my town can do their jobs.

17. There should be a warning on that OP. "Photo may cause inferiority complex."
And for us women: "Do NOT view this photo with your husband."
