Uncle Sam Wants You...in mud, appearently.

I support our troops in so much only to get them home...get them out of Iraq. The military culture is different than needing a military. I'm not down with the military culture. The xenophobia, sexism, racism...I'm just not down with it. And there's the other stuff like lying to recruits to fulfil a quota, yada, yada, yada.

There's Guantanimo & Abu Ghraib - Folks...you live in a country that tortures. Your country is no better than a third world dictatorship. Go ahead, get defensive. We can go round and round, but it comes back to love of country. If people who represent your country behave in a manner that is inconsistent to our alleged values, do we ignore it? Honestly, I don't care about people doing this stuff as Americans, I'm more focused on one human doing it to another...my work with Amnesty International shows that.

But now there's this stupid shit:



I can't tell what's more sad, the men or the women. Someone get some pride! I mean, an orgy I'd understand, but this is just stupid.

Then there's this. Some kid's Lego Abu Ghraib. Make sure you look at all the pictures...there's one of the compound, inside the building...and I have students who don't give a crap. Pictures courtesy of Violet Blue.
