Seriously that massacre in Afghanistan is frightening

Imagine a military person of ME background invading homes and slaughtering women and children - how would we react. How would Freepers and other ReTHUGS react? How would M$Greedia react?

It's time to leave and save the troops. They don't deserve to be exposed anymore.

We'd be very concerned for the shooter, wondering if the stress in his life was just too much, glad that his identity was protected and that his family was being sheltered against any reprisals, until his comrades in arms had had a good chance to sort everything out and decide on what they would do next. And anybody who said differently was just itching for an online beatdown.

I'm 100% sure that's how we would react.

Freepers, Fundies and the other ReTHUGS including those who profit from the hate industry would be screeching at a Palin pitch and demanding GITMO or a firing squad. That would include several media hacks..

The evidence for our hysteria already exists.

What we FAIL to ask our selves is what's going on in this volunteer army of ours?

This isn't bottom up fragging - falujah, Afghanistan, suicides, etc - this is what?
Scattershot - all over the place?

Shit aint right - something is very wrong.
