I mean, WTF???

When the stress of the war in Iraq becomes too severe, the Pentagon has a suggestion for military families: Learn how to laugh.... The guiding principle is to laugh for no reason. And that's one of the reasons it works so well for military families said [retired Army colonel James Scott].

I mean, that's fucked up right there...
Not that I think that anyone whose willing to sign their lives away to the whims of bureaucrats (ie: join the military) should expect much else, especially from this adminastration... but still.... wow. Don't worry mam, your son was sent to a meat-grinder in an unnecessary war concoted under false pretenses which is bankrupting the country and leading to a civil war in the Middle East... but look at the bright side, those in power will make a lot of money out of the whole thing, and you can still laugh about it.


On another note, I saw V recently: Portman, Wheaving, and the Wachowski brothers being the main reasons. I rolled my eyes at some of the more silly parts (but it's based off a comic, so what can you expect). But the speach V gives near the begining of the movie is by itself worth the cost of adminission. Plus, you just got to respect someone who is completely honest and clear-sited about his motives. I give it thumbs-up overall.
