5 US soldiers killed in Iraq
Could someone please sit me down and explain to me why the US media feels the need to count every war casualty? If we lose 5,000 soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan does everyone win a Hummer? What fucking possible reason can they give to keep us informed on such horrific statistics.
You know what the reason is? It sells newspapers. It gets ratings. Everyone wants the outcome but isn't willing to bear the cost. In war people are killed. In war, we lose our sons and daughters, our sisters our brothers and our mothers and fathers. In war, people shoot at each other and blow each other up (and apparently sometimes themselves in minivans). It's the ultimate shame of mankind.
Peace on earth would be nice. I'm all for it. But it's not going to happen. You people need to realize that. As long as their are people who hate you for your God, hate your country for their politics, or hate you cause they're having a bad day, you will have violence and you will have war. As long as there is government, religion, possessions and money there will be war, abhorrence, murder and greed. Unless you get rid of one group the other is here to stay.
There is no peace without war and whether you agree with the war or not, fact is, WE ARE AT WAR! Put the fucking protest signs down, break up the prayer circles and get with reality. Stop telling the media we want the bad news, all the bad news and nothing but bad news. This reality-television, misery-loving, entertained-by-peoples-failure-and-pain society that can only get their fat asses off the fucking couch during a commerical dwells so much on the negative aspects of existence that's all we hear anymore.
Stay the course, finish the job in Iraq and Afghanistan and bring the troops home to their families. And to those troops that gave their lives...I, at least, appreciate and honor you.
