Do you think the US Military proofread this statement?
It wasn’t clear who initially captured Bergdahl, but the U.S. command in Afghanistan said he was being held by the Taliban and condemned the video as a violation of international law.
“I’m glad to see he appears unharmed, but again, this is a Taliban propaganda video,” spokeswoman Lt. Cmdr. Christine Sidenstricker said. “They are exploiting the soldier in violation of international law.”
I don’t. Because if they did they would’ve realized how hypocritical it sounded. I mean, the US Military can’t say shit about violating international law after invading two sovereign nations, torturing thousands of detainees, dropping bombs on innocent civilians, and bank rolling warlords.
But of course the US Military doesn’t think they’re being hypocritical. No. The US Military thinks it’s doing the right thing. They think they’re a beacon of truth. A pillar of virtue. The sole guardian of democracy. They believe they’re the only thing keeping this crazy world of ours together.
And they’re not alone. Millions of Americans believe their military can do no wrong. They believe US soldiers are soldiers of God, fighting the good fight against Satan and fucking Muslims.
But not me. I know how fucked up our military is. I know how they allow felons and white supremacist to enlist. I know how they allow detainees to be raped. I know how they allow the killing of innocent civilians.
So it’s hard for me to get pissed off at the Taliban for showing the world how the soldier they’ve captured during a war is still alive, is fully clothed, and is being allowed to eat; an example US Military show follow.
Update: Stay classy Fox News.
