Here is a timeline of the Iraq Invasion
that private jessica lynch was a staged event?? wtf is going on??
I don't really think this is okay.
Now your painting an American soldier who went through a harrowing time in her life, and nearly served as a martyr for this country, and you're saying it's all a fake.
I think that's really where our disagreement stems from. I'm not so concerned with protecting the government from being shitheads, and I am concerned with letting the true culprits off scott free by proxy. This is the same type of thing--you're belittling a personal sacrifice that an American made so that you can say crazy shit like this according to some unproven theory that the government is terribad.
I'm not a government fanboy. I flat out hated Bush, couldn't be happier he's gone. My heart sunk when he was re-elected.
I'm not even a big fan of the government. What I am is someone who will never forgive the organization behind the deaths of so many Americans--and you're attempting to give them a get-out-of-jail-free card. That is and always has been my only objection. Say the government sucks all you want, but don't do it at the expense of falsely (or without complete proof) exonerating the people responsible--or undermining the sacrifices which people have made fighting for our country (regardless of why they were sent--she didn't make that choice and doesn't deserve to have her service questioned by the likes of any of us).
I'm not mad, I get it that we disagree--I just really thought this might serve as some perspective as to where I'm coming from. It's not about this blind belief in the government--I just don't think we should be jumping to any conclusions about this stuff, and I think that's what you're doing.
