You Might Think This Would Give the Rah-Rah Warmongers Pause

Expecting xenophobic nationalists to care when the American military murders little brown people who jabber incomprehensibly and eat weird stuff is a bit much, I suppose. But as these armchair mass-murderers profess to love and revere Our Troops, wouldn’t you think the claim above might rouse their long-buried pacifism?

Yo, Joe Nationalist: end the wars. Not because they are an assault on decency, humanity and freedom as they kill and maim, but because they destroy the warriors you cherish, too.
