The Plastic Outrage at Peeing on the Corpses

Now the revulsion of the electorate is FINALLY bestirred by the clip of OUR soldiers peeing on the ragged corpses of a few natives they just killed in a land 8,000 miles from our coastline.  Pish, less than a drop in the bloody bucket of the million WE have already slaughtered -- not to mention those tortured -- to the beat of OUR moral mantra to "Support Our Troops!"

.

Miracles of miracles, after ten years finally we have a journalist who speaks to the disgrace WE have abided and many of us encouraged.  It aint the peeing, it's the mass slaughter that preceded it, and our hardy support of the politicos who spurred it on to their own perceived self-serving interests.

Now we need to read what the rare courageously honest reporter Sebastian Junger has to say.  Click on the link for the complete statement. 

.

Then -- desperately more important -- stop the ENCOURAGEMENT.  Tell our indentured politicos we'll have no more of this mass atrocity and disgrace to our future history at the penalty they will be fired, which is about the only thing that will elevate their cowardice above their wretched self-interest.    (Hint:  It will take more than bumper stickers and signs on the sidewalk.)

So here's Sebastian.  Then GET TO WORK ON DECENT GOVERNMENT !............Rafe Pilgrim

"As a society, we may be disgusted by seeing U.S. Marines urinating on dead Taliban fighters, but we remain oddly unfazed by the fact that, presumably, those same Marines just put .30 caliber rounds through the fighters' chests. American troops are not blind to this irony."
