Why do I want to commit vehicular homicide every time I see one of these things on a car?
Perhaps is because of things like this: US Army gave wrong information on 7 soldier deaths
Whether or not you believe the troops are deserving of support is not the point. Your government doesn’t support them. THAT’S the point.
Forget the fact that they (the soldiers) were lied to about the need for this war.
And lied to about the length of their tours of duty.
The soldiers don’t have the right kind of (or enough) equipment to protect themselves.
Many, MANY soldiers’ families need help feeding their children and paying their bills because your government isn’t.
The list goes on and on, and now this administration doesn’t even have the decency to tell the loved ones of dead soldiers the truth. The truth is, your government, your fearless leaders (who have never served a day in the military), your president et al does not support the troops. They never have.
Vietnam War: Republican President Nixon
Gulf War: Republican President There-is-no-such-thing-as-Gulf-War-Syndrome Bush Sr.
Iraq-Iran-Afghanistan War: Republican President Bush Jr.
Our government has a long history of breaking up with our soldiers the morning after, as does the general public. And there you are, with your $.99 ribbon magnet, pretending you could find Iraq on a map, wrapping yourselves in the warmth of your trailer park patriotism. If I had a monster truck, you’d be road kill.
Keep an eye on your rearview mirror, you’ll never know when it’s your magnet that pushes me over the edge.
Now, where did I put my keys...
