Mike at Cold Fury slaps a SF Comical muttwitt, who just hates those mean ol' military airplanes and all they stand for. And a right fine job he does of it, too.Of course everyone knows these planes are weapons of war, but few of us perhaps truly imagine the powerlessness of those under attack, imagine the victims of these huge and glistening and sun-kissed and biggerfasterdeadlierthanyours fighters, these insanely destructive jets, the sheer unbridled terror, what is must be like for the people, the civilians, the families and neighborhoods and babies in strollers, every day, for months on end.
Maybe the Blue Angels could serve as just such a reminder. After all, a little profound and heartfelt, unclouded American empathy could be just what this nation needs.
Well, I have to agree that there has been a failure of imagination when it comes to the destructive capability of these and other weapons in the American arsenal. But the failure wasn't America's. The people who most needed Morford's snide little reminder of American military might were and are the people who declared religious war against us, and who also fired the first shots. Wipe your hand, Mike, and scrub the walls when you're done. Nice job! |
