edited October 2012 in A Moving Train
A Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist who was badly injured and unconscious.
On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.

The Marine reported, I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum bag who got what he deserved. He yelled back that Barack Obama is a lying, good-for-nothing, left wing Commie who isn't even an American. So I said that Osama Bin Laden dressed and acted like a frigid, mean-spirited pervert!
He retaliated by yelling, Oh yeah? Well, so does Nancy Pelosi!
And, there we were, in the middle of the road shaking hands,
when a truck hit us.


Godfather.

    Yes, they were French and German troopers. I think there's a movie about this incident.

    I think that story is spectacular and kind of makes you think... Why'd they have to go back to shooting each other when they were singing Christmas carols and playing soccer the day before? I know I'm young and idealistic, but seems kind of crazy.

    Why? when you're in the military your main responsibility is to follow the orders of your superiors...unfortunately they can not publicly question those orders...just follow them. I know people that were in the military it's almost like brainwashing ... they are very good at training people to obey ... unfortunately

    I know all that of course! It's interesting to me how when they looked at each other as 'humans' and not as 'enemies', it appeared neither side had a problem with the other.

    A woman was playing golf when she took a big swing and fell. The party waiting behind her was a group from the White House that included Obama. Obama quickly stepped forward and helped her to her feet.
    She thanked him and started to leave, when he said, "I'm President Obama and I hope you'll vote for me this November."
    She laughed and quickly said, "I fell on my ass, not my head!"

    A woman has sued her local hospital, saying that after her husband was treated recently, he has lost all interest in sex.

    A hospital spokesman replied, “The man was admitted in Ophthalmology - all we did was correct his eyesight ...”

    And sadly propaganda is alive and well and still very effective.
    “Evildoers”

    “Fox News”
    “Obama apology tour”
    “Republicans stump speeches”
    “ Pledge of allegiance “
    “God Bless THIS country”
    “Air force Fighters doing flyby at sporting events”
    “Sporting events”
    Humans are sad little lemmings that will run off the cliff in spite of their own interests. Ex-poor whites that vote republican.
    Some can see through this BS but sadly most can’t.

    Mitt Romney stated and reiterated that FEMA should be disbanded, then refused to answer reporters questions about it. Then magically he was for FEMA. Yet another case of Romnesia :lol: Some might argue that the Motherfucker is so forgetful even Ronald Regan had better recall abilities at the end of his life.

    Not doomed just human nature and we as humans will continue to fall prey to these simple tactics. How we got into Iraq, how Hitler got Germans to follow and pretty much every war in which humans sacrifice themselves to the "greater good" or to combat the "Evil Doers". "God bless America". :lol:
