Yeah! F*** the Troops!
Posted by Ben
My first roommate in college (and a very good friend!) recently sent me a link to http://www.petitiononline.com/fbftt/petition.html which is a petition to Facebook.com to remove groups such as the "Fuck our Soldiers." He asked me to sign it. Being in the Army my self i decided to not blindly sign this petition but look into it. The first group I looked up was the "Fuck the Troops," which is a very clever name and has a description of:
"The troops are not all they are cracked up to be. If you knew some of them, and/or weren't an idiot, you'd have a very different opinion. America's heroes? My ass."A very strong statement. They obviously have meet many soldiers. Probably more than me. It's a good thing I have this group creator around to tell me about the people I lived with during basic training and spent a large majority of my time with. The group creator looks like a good guy. Hes an alumni who spends him time on facebook creating groups instead of doing something productive like... voting?
Another very cleverly named group (Fuck the Troops) is posted their. This guy is so into "Fucking the troops" that he wont even put some sort of picture up! Okay, you're right, that doesn't realy matter. How important are pictures any way? Its not like they informed us of catastrophic events such as the holocaust, hurricane katrina, or the attacks on the world trade centers. Yeah, picutures arent important at all. I then went to check the facebook profile of the creator. For the record, if you are going to be a political activist and a leader, dont put out public pictures that make you look like a moron. My mistake... pictures don't matter.
I then stumbled along the greatest facebook group on the planet. "I'm Glad 9/11 Happened" I
cant even comprehend that some one would post a group on Facebook like that. What kind of sick person likes the idea that suicide bombers that flew 747's into buildings killing thousands of innocent civilians. "9/11 was a Jewish conspiracy" is the most recent news post. Is any one else confused? I looked into it and checked out the picture of the creator. I know we decided that they dont matter at all but I will post it here for you to see. This kid is a real winner. Granted, my facebook picture isent the best but Im not making a statment saying im glad that all those people died. I can't even continue to write about this, so let's just move on.After reading about all of these groups I decided that, as a soldier, it is my job to protect these degenerate morons and their "freedom of speech". Its safe to say that they're on the far end of the bell curve with the ostrich and will, ideally, soon be extinct. But, I guess I will save their lives if comes down to it. Well, that is if i don't have anything better to do. If i have to choose between eating a piece of cheese cake and saving their lives... cheese cake is delicious... but yes, fuck our troops! Fuck me! Fuck the regular army, who helps make advancements in science (don't make me break out examples), the army reserve, which allows people who want to serve and live civilian lives, and the national guard, who decided to help out and dig out my college town of Oswego after roughly one-billion feet of snow. However, in the end I could not bring my self to sign the petition. It would be un-American of me to hinder their freedom of speech. Even if it is stupid and uneducated.
