Re: Wingnuts stereotype about Marines' intelligence
Lance, I appreciate the pep talk. Nonetheless, with regard to:
However, they work long, hard hours for weeks or months at a stretch far from their families and communities, and they can be dismayed by pathetic, mean-spirited strangers - the same people who'd step over their bleeding bodies on the streets or in the malls because it's not their responsibility to get involved - deciding all of a sudden to reach out and touch them in the hope of getting them to decide they've been living a lie for a scheming, evil Bushitler dictatorship that kills the very people they've vowed to give their lives to save.
So I am somewhat huffy and outraged.
Moreover, what these people are doing is treasonous, and they should be prosecuted. But they won't be.
"Before we go getting all huffy and outraged, lets think this through. Stereotype notwithstanding, Marines are not stupid. You can’t be stupid and do what they do."I agree that soldiers aren't stupid.
