Death from Above
In reality, "Death from Above" means nothing less than mass murder from 15,000 feet. It means daisy cutters, bunker busters, cruise missiles, napalm, and white phosphorous. It means depleted uranium and cluster bombs littering the landscape for decades. It means rubble, destruction, the ruination of lives by the hundreds, by the thousands and more. It means Dresden, Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki. It means "shock and awe." It means 9/11. It means more than space allows me to explain, yet it's perfectly normal for an American to slap a "Death by Above" decal on his/her vehicle...right next to "support the troops" sticker. More

I used to say "I support the troops but not the war", then I said "I only support the troops that had to go"(i.e. the ones who were enlisted prior to the war.), now I say "What the hell is going on??!! This shit has got to end at some point! When are the people going to wake up and say enough is enough". The more I read the more I want to be removed from this government. I have come to hate the phrase "you americans". I want nothing to do with this stupid, irrational support or the equally stupid and irrational government. HH
ReplyDeleteDon't take it to heart H, you have no more control on things than the rest of us. Once elected that's it for another four/five years.
ReplyDeleteDemocracy just means you can change villains occasionally.
Clinton was Prez during my dropped out years, but he never struck me as anything other than a reasonable Prez.
I'd prefer a guy who'd take a BJ before a bible anyday. :-)
And the "You Yankees" all cats are black in the night.
well the saying "death from above" is use to discribe the us paratrooper because we jump out of planes not freakin bombs and if it wasnt for soldiers enlisting then you wouldnt even be able to write this dumbass message
ReplyDeleteAirborne -All the Way - defending your right to be an A-hole.
ReplyDelete...and if you don't like being an American there are plenty of other countries to choose from.
I stumbled upon this site looking for my death from above "Airborne" decal to put on my American made truck and I about puked when I read what the author had to say. Your the fag that drives a prius right...and never worked a day in your life in service of your country or anyone else for that matter. Keep cryin about the freedom my brothers preserve for you.....whata selfish P.O.S.
ReplyDeleteAre some of the American soldiers in Iraq there primarily for economic reasons? Sure. Did others sign up for a chance to shoot some towel heads? Probably. So, after factoring out these two relatively small groups and rejecting the immoral "only following orders" defense, the questions remain: Exactly how are the men and women fighting in Iraq immune from any and all blame and what does it say about a culture when the concept of "death from above" is proudly displayed on t-shirts and bumper stickers?
