That looks like fun set to that music.

Damn that sarcasm button.

The imagery makes me think of my army service, on the other side of the iron curtain, we used to have a compulsory 2 years (1 year for university graduates after school, fortunately) so all the 18 yo kids got "drafted" for two years, not to war, but you never knew...

Everyone hated to go, hated it while there, it was a total waste of time, buggery, bigotry, boredom, drink and drugs, women, etc.
Everyone counted down the time to go home day by day like in jail.

Yet everyone posed for heroic photographs, preferably with their tanks (our group stood in front of our kitchen :-) and pretended to be manly.

That is how I see Vietnam, scared kids thrown into a difficult to justify war against the local people in a foreign country. Unenviable.

They deserve all the accolades and any help they can be given tenfold. Also they were all heroes if they did not chicken out.

And god bless America (meaning the US of A) if it can come up with a better way to pick wars. Kind of a hint is if you have to "defeat" the whole local population to win, dont start.

@newtboy
told ya he was pissed.
i admire this mans passion.
in fact,i applaud it.

while i do not agree with his attack therapy tactics and do not subscribe to his over-all conclusions.i absolutely ADORE how he calls out the cognitive dissonance of the american voter.

because he is right.

how can you subscribe to a law that makes prostitution illegal,yet porn legal?
or the guy who deals crack or meth as being a criminal? yet opiates are,by far,the leading cause of death in regards to controlled substances.so who is the bigger criminal?

and what,exactly,IS a criminal?is it because the state says so?if you subscribe to that,then i am a criminal.

i found his condemnation of the christian church to be the most delicious.
jesus christ was an insurrectionist,a radical,a dissident and a dissenter.a zealot in the face of the powered elite.

so how can you fight a war of aggression in jesus christs name?
how can you state that god blesses america with over 2.4 million people incarcerated?or to categorize and demonize those who may be different i.e:gay,lesbian or atheist and yet still call yourself a christian?

i giggled with delight when he pointed out that the very same people who are championing those insurrectionists,dissidents and agitators of the past as somehow being representative of their morals and ethics,are the very same people they are demonizing today for breaking the rules.

this man is so pissed off and i love it.
he says things that will make conformists extremely uncomfortable,and we NEED to be a bit uncomfortable.if only to shake off the apathy and lethargy.

as for the taxes argument..meh..i dont subscribe to the "privatize everything" ,because some things should not be profit driven,but i also do not subscribe to the 'taxes pay for essential services",unless wars of aggression,corporate welfare and big-agribusiness subsidies are considered "essential".

our democracy is broken,our government dysfunctional and serves only to keep the balance of the status quo on top..and fuck the regular dude.

can you REALLY say your government represents you?
ok,go ahead and vote.here are your choices:chocolate or vanilla but both are made by hagen daaz.

you really should watch to the end..he just gets madder and madder.
truths can often be uncomfortable,but that never changes the fact that they are truths.

and goddamn i love your optimism! just cant share it on this issue,though if you could bottle it up i am betting you would make a fortune.

ill have three bottles of newt please...to go.

that conversation reminds me of why this movie was made: http://videosift.com/video/God-Bless-America-Official-Red-Band-Trailer

It's on the Instant Que if you have that option. Haven't seen it yet myself, but it's there...

I noticed that, and I bet that's why they keep skipping it. I prefer to get the DVD/Blu-ray for a couple of reasons. The streaming movies don't have surround sound, and I like the extra features like deleted/alternate scenes that you only get on the disks.

I haven't seen the movie yet, so before I watch this clip, does it contain spoilers? It's at the very top of my Netflix queue, yet Netflix keeps sending me other movies below it even though it doesn't show it having a wait time.

Also it's close to the beginning of the movie.>> ^jimnms:

This clip is repeatable and stands well by itself. Spoiler only in that you'll see it again when you watch the movie.

I hope we all understand that you can nod your head along to the sentiments in this video and still be a part of the problem.


I couldn't help but think, as I watched, that everyone who sees this video is relating to Frank.

You could play this during the commercial break of Fear Factor and the audience would nod in agreement. You could play it during Limbaugh and the audience would think he was condemning Democrats You could play it at an Occupy protest and the audience would think he was condemning corporate greed.

Everyone will shoehorn their own opinions into Frank's words and see him as a reflection of themselves. It's like a fucking horoscope.

..that I'm somehow still culpable and complicit.


Only if you pay them.
