National Security & Defense

What's it with Republican presidents? is learning to pronounce words asking too fucking much?

I remember Abu Ghraib prison. It was where a peculiar line showed up, separating Americans into different camps. There were the anti-torturers, in their naivety, scandalized at the very idea and the pro-torturers who (when they didn't outright deny it ever happened) thought, and loudly, Americans have a God-given right to torture whoever they see fit to torture. I really believe that some volunteered for the military to get in on that fun only to be rudely awakened when they, upon discharge, found their skills and aspirations had no value in America's transactional society. Too bad for the little storm troopers, eh?

Oh, fascist America, even in its embryonic state, was already a very ugly baby.
