I hate the trend where people who want to send our troops to their deaths are "pro-military", and the ones who want to prevent that and maybe let some of them transition into careers that aren't "walk around the desert and hope you don't step on an IED" are villified as "anti-military". It's just accepted as fact these days and it's obnoxious as hell. Protip: the people trying to prevent our soldiers from dying don't "hate our troops".

Yeah, I had a quote from their president a few pages ago: quote:"It's a shame the [Obama] administration crushed my old business, because as a private organization, we could've solved the boots-on-the-ground issue, we could have had contracts from people that want to go there as contractors; you don't have the argument of U.S. active duty going back in there," Prince said in an on-stage discussion featuring retired four-star Gen. James Conway. "[They could have] gone in there and done it, and be done, and not have a long, protracted political mess that I predict will ensue." Yeah.

If we privatize the military, we will win all the wars because only the winningest contractors will survive on a free market unhampered by oppressive government regulations like the Geneva Conventions.

Isn't the point of having an volunteer army so that they can be sent into potentially dangerous situations instead of a conscripted force? What's the point of even having that army if we're going to use a shadow army for the sake of optics?

ReidRansom posted:And besides, we already do have an elite non-uniformed special forces group not really bound by law, the CIA Special Activities Division, and they're probably crawling all over the place there already and are likely at least partially responsible for a lot of the mess that keeps happening in some form or another. The friction between the CIA's various operational arms and their lawyers is one of the more tragically hilarious things about our national security apparati.

Yea pretty much, what is it that one story said most of them just hung around the bases and poo poo and raked in more money than the guys actually getting IEDs taking limbs off and poo poo, and the few that didn't were pretty much entirely made up of the dudes raping and murdering like barbarians? They're a super cartoonishly evil company and I adore whenever the Ron Paul types try to say we need to use MORE guys like them.

If you think this is new, they were doing the same poo poo in Vietnam. Surprise surprise - the people who are 'pro war' the most are people connected to companies that profit off it, just as it was for Vietnam. Their 'support' for our troops is the 'support' a shark shows for tuna. Spacedad fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Sep 25, 2014 |

Jim Davis Doesn’t Remember 9/11quote:It is unclear why Garfield is such an outlier. Did 9/11 not occur in the Garfield universe? Are Jon Arbuckle and his zany pets simply indifferent to the horrors of that day? Is Jim Davis afraid his Middle Eastern readership would be scandalized by any show of pro-American chauvinism? This wouldn’t be the first time Jim Davis has acted in a crassly unpatriotic manner. On Veteran’s Day, 2010, an insanely ironic Garfield ran featuring a spider boasting that if Garfield kills it, it will earn an annual day of remembrance; the last panel showed a classroom of spiders discussing “National Stupid Day.” Davis’ excuse was that he churned out and queued the strip a year in advance, which is a surprising turnaround time considering the obviously high production values that go into the writing and design of Garfield. http://virgiltexas.com/post/23039458116/jim-davis-doesnt-remember-9-11#.VCKt3vmP0Xs I couldn't tell if this was a parody at first. Reading through it, though, he has included every Garfield strip published on September the 11th since 2002. He ends the article with, "Witness how the creator of Luann tastefully shoehorns in a poignant tribute on the tenth anniversary of 9/11:"

I can't find it, but I coulda sworn somebody did a fake comics page where every strip had the exact same line referring to 9/11. Seems even more appropo given this thing. EDIT: Probably was in the political comics thread if anyone wants to wade through that.

Fulchrum posted:Didn't Doom only give a poo poo because Latverians got killed, and Magneto only cared because the attack killed Mutants? No, it was a tonedeaf 9/11 memorial, but it was meant as sincere. Also, if I remember right, Ruben Boling actually meant that one as sincere too, as goofy as it is in hindsight; it was his way of expressing that he literally couldn't get it off his mind after it happened, that it crowded everything else out.

The nazis actually really were good regarding protecting the environment. Granted they did this for very cynical and irrational reasons - they were big on 'back to nature' anti-urbanism cult junk, to a mass-murderous fault. Also the whole 'preserve the planet for the master race' thing. They did this in contrast to the communists who were basically 'gently caress the planet' as Stalin turned great swaths of the landscape into industrial hellscapes. So what Limbaugh is saying is he's a communist.
