The Truth That Can Not Be Spoken

As good as anything we've ever read (on the web of weaseling, at least) for sheer spite, backed up by absolute truth.
As a society, we need to discard our blind deference to military service. There’s nothing admirable about volunteering to murder people. There’s nothing admirable about being rooked by obvious propaganda. There’s nothing admirable about doing what you’re told if what you’re told to do is terrible. [...] Condemning the “troops”—a term coined during the Gulf War—is almost unthinkable. And it won’t win you any awards. “Troops” are a monolithic entity, a cohesive group of pride-inspiring order-takers. Whereas an individual soldier is accountable for his or her actions, the “troops” are too abstract to blame. For Americans, there are only bad apples, never bad orchards.
These United Snakes are a worm-holed orchard of rotten apples. 
Here's one of them apples, whose (self-) righteous reaction was to dig up & post all the info he could about the author of the above, & photos of his building from the PredatorGoogle™ Cesssna overhead. Very nice. Why isn't "Chuck" in the Air Force remotely controlling death to some Allah-humping raghead? 
Because he's too busy winning the war at home w/ typing like this:
Idiot don’t even own a damn house, and he’s going to disrespect our troops?!?!?!?! What an asshole! Angry
Not that anyone bothered to comment.
