doogleThis guy should resign for voicing such unpatriotic words and be promoted for his insight.
shatterdrosesays...Unpatriotic? Wanting to know your enemy inside and out and facing reality is far from unpatriotic. So I'm going to assume I'm misreading your sarcasm and satire.
But he's dead on. So many Americans fail to understand basic history and why so many of the Great Nations of history collapsed. The biggest reasons being fighting too many foreign wars, spending more than they can produce, extreme political disconnect and lack of unity within splintering states.
Political disconnect is so easy to accomplish in times of peace it's rather sad and tragic. Most of the Samurai Code was written in times of peace (such as dying for their master at all costs etc) and we are falling into that paradigm as well to the point it's blinding us to the reality of our own real enemies. </rant>
grinterSee @doogle, that's what you get for using the "sarcasm" box.
oh.. and *promote, for the bit at the end about the US jingoism playing right into hands of the jihadists.

siftbotPromoting this video back to the front page; last published Sunday, April 28th, 2013 12:35pm PDT - promote requested by grinter.
doogleyour videosift account should be closed for such unpatriotic remarks.
And you should be given a gold star in your political science courses for having independent critical thought.
And you should give me kudos for having laid a trap for you to fall in. You non-patriot.
PS: kudos to @grinter for totally getting my comment. A+

TruckchaseI long for the days of VS where this would have been top. Nice sift. Back to LOLCats everyone!
shatterdrosesays...I've always wondered what the sarcasm box really did . . .
