HEY, HOW’S IT HANGIN’?

Haha look at that guy

After the examination of the 9/11 imagery in the film, I'm surprised you missed this. It's looks like a reference to the charred remains of two Blackwater contractors being hung from a bridge in Fallujah, which was an impetus for the two attempts to recapture the city in 2004.

I'd could also say it's also how Mussolini's body was strung up for display, upside-down and arms hanging, after he was disposed of by anti-Fascists. Fallujah was more recent, and I believe in some of those the photos you can see the mob stringing them up (or cutting them down, depending on the context of when the photos where shot).

That thing looks like the most creepy transformer ever. I love it's weapons

You've never Takashi Murakami's Second Mission Project ko2, have you?

Big hint: it's someone looking at the Macross Valkyrie transformation and wondering how you can do that to a human being.

I was curious about this, so I looked it up. :stare:

I knew Churchill was a war-loving shithead but I didn't realize it went as far as "letting entire countries starve to death on purpose."

Don't forget gassed Kurds and sold out Eastern Europe to Stalin.
