When Lefties Attack
Soldiers say, "it's not possible to support us and not support our mission."
A lefty replies, "Just feel lucky we're doing that much, you mercenary coup-plotting punks. Now apologize and give me 20."
No, really!
This one's got the right side of the blogosphere in attack mode, and rightly so. I've got friends who do hold the "troops, not mission" line, and I've never heard anything even remotely like this from them. The comments section makes it even worse, since it seems all the loons from the thread we linked up yesterday went barking over there today.
You think I'm exaggerating. I'm not. If this is the best the hard-left can come up with, I'd hate to see what they'd get up to if they actually got hold of the levers of power.
Oh... wait...
Via Countercolumn (although essentially all the blogs I read are linking to it. Whee! Lemming time!)
Ya know, going around saying "I support the troops, but not what they do" is a lot like saying "I don't expect perfection, I just think you should keep improving, because if you don't, you're a loser."
It's really just rephrasing the same sentiment in a way they hope people won't object to. 0.9999999... ad infinitum really is the same as 1.
I wish I'd realized that before I wasted 35 years of my life trying to convince my mother I wasn't a total loser.
Oh, and I'd rather have an army of mercenaries, than an army of slaves. At least mercenaries won't rebel, as long as you keep them paid.
Better a thousand Abu Gharibs than one My Lai.
