Bingo! Most of the meatheads and flag-waving baby-killers who make up the American military are there because they support the patrotic bullshit used to sell the war. If most of these people didn't want to be there, we'd be hearing more about fragging, desertion, and harassment of the brass.
Fuck the troops! Fuck the Democrats who support this war and the Pentagon-industrial complex.
