Iraq War Veterans Protest America's Army Title
Via GamePolitics, a story reported by the St. Lois Post-Dispatch of frustrated war veterans protesting America's Army . Roughly 100 veterans of the Iraq war marched near an elaborate demonstration of the military-funded game, outside of an expo center in Missouri. Their shouts of 'war is not a game' must have contrasted sharply with the elaborate simulator the Army had set up to publicize their (already very popular) FPS title.
You can't steal it. I bet that just chaps your hide, doesn't it?
Diplomacy is for wimps and commies. What would make you think diplomacy would ever have worked? The ultimate solution to any argument is who can kick who's ass. Only intellectuals seem to miss this truth. Just because we are reasonable, intelligent, people does not mean others are. If someone hates you, you can't talk them out of it but you can kick their ass so bad they're scared to mess with you. Simple truth of life.
At what price learning? At what cost wisdom? The price is a man's peace of mind, and the cost is his life.
Somebody's got to stand with you, and it might as well be me. These protestors think they're going to change the army by protesting? No. If anything, I think that it shows that their training might have well been not good enough, because they are protesting against their fellow soldiers. Democrats would like to hollow out our Army and take away their training. They'd prefer that the Peace Corps produce simulations of well digging in Africa. Unfortunately, the world is a more dangerous place than that, and what's going to keep America safe is her armed forces and the brave men and women who fight for America. It's really sad that these soldiers have been misled by our liberal media into protesting against their brothers and sisters in arms. I know it's unpopular but somebody's got to say it. You don't protest against our troops during a war. They are soldiers so I'm going to cut them some slack and just pray that they change their minds about it.

Hopefully the future won't be as poorly written. Wouldn't hurt to cut out the mormon garbage too.
