As a very important aside, the //structure// of our Armed Forces has been corporatized by malevolent insane bigots. This is an extraordinarily dangerous state of affairs for our GIs, America, and every man woman and child on the planet at large.
Army benefits as they stand today, ARE AN ////INSTULT/// TO GIs.
Ontop of that since the end of the Korean Conflict, insurance companies have conspired with government to plunder the GI DEATH benefits that are supposed to go to surviving family members designated by KIA GIs before their deaths.
Get yourself killed in a colonial War of Aggression, and your family gets little or NOTHING, and you won't be around to protest. It is a near perfect scam.
Not only are you afraid of sticking on your car but you are afraid to show your face. Instead you hide behind a cartoon cat and tell half truths. If those troops did not exist nor would your freedom to free speech and expression. Sometime you just need to know when to shut up and keep your thoughts to yourself. Using a cartoon to get a personal or political point across is the pinnacle of cowardliness.
Would you be willing to share your name, address, or phone number?
The U.S. has been using cartoons and art to get political points across since it's colonization, so I guess by your logic the united states in the pinnacle of cowardliness. Yes, war has protected our freedom of speech before, but in the Case of Iraq-how is it defending any of our rights?
Oh, and what in this video do you see as a half truth?
¿why do most conservative americans think this kind of thinking is communist? ¡COME ON WE ARENT IN THE 60'S ANYMORE! ¡what have the media made of you guys!
i guess it is easier to control people if they dont find out things. what is the actual goal of pinky? is she trying teach all the ignorant people so they can go against the society? hell no...
its like religion...its better if people dont find out so these people can be controlled and there can be order... jeez
This web site connotes an attitude and a policy of control by propaganda, misinformation, denial of truth, and manipulation of the past to cultivate an anti-American counterculture that believes in nothing but hate for America. One only has to look at the experiences of the subjects who espouse these beliefs to know that the real motivation is to gain mass acceptance of their hedonistic self serving lifestyles.
I'm an expat living in Canada, and my car has two bumper stickers; Mission -- Failed ( a memento from when I was a young teen campaigning for Kerry in 2004), and Support Our Troops.
This is because I too believe the best way to support our troops, is to get them the hell out of this combat which the majority of them disagree with.
If honesty were legally required, the stickers here in Canada would have to say "Support Our War."
First off, the sticker might as well say "Pay Your Taxes" as that is literally where the tangible support for the troops comes from.
Secondly, Canadian troops have been in harm's way for years, either in peace-keeping operations or just regular training. Yet no one saw the need to command (note the imperative sentence structure on the stickers) that we support the troops then.

its only imperialism if the invader nation stays indefinatly and there is a time table for US troop withdrawel so the idea that the us is being imperialistic doesn't hold up.
Do you think that was a temporary city block size embassy we built in bagdhad...or did u think it was like a concrete tent we would just fold up when we left...oh and not to mention the us corporations that are going to be in iraq FOREVER..let alone indefinitely...jesus christ people watch the news or read the paper for ur own minds sake
It's dishonest to put a ribbon on your cars to support the troops? The only thing dishonest is this stupid communist video. Reject the idiots who made this. Maybe they feel UNCOMFORTABLE because they don't support the troops. They support an enemy who would behead them if they don't convert to islam. If you join the military expect to go to war. That's what they do, Duh. I like this Empire. It's a great place to live.
Why is 'communist' the first thing American far right-wingers respond to well thought-out commentary on the way of life developing in the US that goes against its own constitution? If you are commenting on the people of Iraq, they had nothing to do with Al-Qaeda. They are only concerned with people taking over their country, and going straight for the oil reserve while doing it. Al-Qaeda and Jihadists in general work outside of any particular country's remittance. Don't you understand that?
First of all I only seem FAR right to a FAR leftist as yourself. Most Americans are God fearing Christians unlike the Eurotrash. Communist/ socialist what's the difference? That's Europe and we don't want it here. Our Forefathers fought and died to get away from it. Sadam helped train terrorists. He brought them there himself. If we are going for oil why is it so expensive? Terrorists need to be killed where ever they are. Do you understand that?
I understand that you're ignorant and have no understanding of the world's political climate, and that you sound like a xenophobic racist. Terrorism is one thing we've had to contend with in the UK for many years, thanks to the IRA. But we don't spout anti-Irish sentiment, nor have the UK government bombed the living crap out of Belfast. Nor did they then go 'next door' and blame the Republic of Ireland for the troubles and try to destroy their government and replace them with a puppet.
Kit how long did it take to end this thing with the Irish? These are 6th century throwbacks. I've spoken with many Brits who hate the Irish because of this. Do you know what these savages do to homos or how they treat women. As a liberal you should be a appalled. Your not dealing with someone who you can reason with. They what to kill all non-muslims. Then you call me names. Someone you know nothing about. Do you call names to everyone who disagrees with you? Typical liberal.
heh, funny, you toss around communist and stupid and idiots and leftist and eurotrash and throwbacks and savages and homos....then you complain someone might be calling you a name ;)
wow. i have never heard this before "sadam helped train terrorist." i lived in the middle east almost all of my life and i can honestly tell u this Sadam was a DOG but he did not help train terrorist! the al-ansar group thats fighting americans in iraq were fighting sadam IN THE 90s. A lot of Iraqis claimed refugee status in the west by saying sadam is persecuting us because we are practicing Muslims. LOL I THINK I SHOULD KNOW :} THANK U CANADA!
Hmmm Eurotrash, have you been in europe? have you lived there? You know how the quality of life is in there? I DONT THINK SO cus you wont say this type of things... you guys are sooooooo damn far to have such a good infrastructure as in european countries, and oil is expensive in there too but at least they dont unleash a war with very questioning causes. And they have nothing to do with communism or socialism they are just very into a humaine and evolution way of thinking than your country.
rejecting the deception that was used to get us into this war is not the same as not supporting the troops, and it's not the same as supporting our enemies. They weren't our enemies until we started blowing up their country. News flash, Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan, the 9/11 bombers were Saudi Arabian. Iraq was minding its business.
Disapproving of this war doesn't make you a communist, dissent is a very american thing, study history. I support the troops but not the war.
If you don't like people killing each other then start with planned parenthood. They've killed more innocent people than Hitler and Stalin combined. Also you can't support the troops without supporting the mission you idiot. Al Qaeda was all over the middle east way before me were. They hate anyone who's not muslim ask the Jews.
"I decided to make my own ribbon in support of our troops I made it say: 'Reject U.S. Imperialism'.. I honestly believe that that's the real thing we can do in order to really support our troops.."
I LOVE YOU PINKY!!! Lol... I don't blame you for being afraid to stick it on your car.. Remember that when Michael Moore jokingly had a semi-truck haul "Communisms last ride" across America as a farewell, someone *actually* firebombed it! You have to watch out for some of those right-wing fanatics!
We can at least take comfort in knowing that our grandchildren will be slaves to the same masters as Pinky's, though in her socialist mind they will probably be called something like Young Volunteers For The New Way or some such cultish title. Maybe they will be lucky like the Soviet slaves and even get shallow graves (see Siberian Permafrost, Siberian Mines, Siberian Logging; see also Over Ten Million).
As for the people supporting our troops in the way you say..to be fair...most of them are still asleep. Sadly many of them will remaain that way because to gett up and educate themselves would be...well that would require them to actualy do some research and think...and they don't want to think or do the research. thinking is hard. research is work. they would rather be entertained. being entertained is easy...and...it doesn't require thinking...or research.
hay liberal leave the united state since you hate it so much.oh but wait you dont have anywhere but europe to go.cause in anyother country if you say what you want you get killed.KILLED!!!!!!!ok liberal so shutup or get out.from your freind\
rockvocals14=) oh and i hope you enjoyed/enjoy my other comments.
You sound like one of those idiots who thinks that the U.S. is the only place with freedom of speech. To suggest that it doesn't exist in Europe? Wow, retard. You apparently have no idea of this country's constitutional ideals, because it is unamerican of you to suggest that criticism of American policies from an American means that they are unamerican or don't like America.
theres somewhere between 100-200 countries in the world. It would be fair if you could name 10 that you would get killed in for speaking against the gov. I realize thats a small number. By your logic MOST other countries don't let you speak but just name 10.
ever notice how illiterate and unable to communicate people with this viewpoint are? What do you suppose is up with that ;-) they couldn't be MORONS, now, could they?
FINALLY someone who doesnt insult me for speaking my mind.the funny thing is your right. most of the people are morons. but yeah thanks for not trashing me on my views. its funny to me how the same people who think they are the better party and best for the world dislike people who speak their minds freely.dont you agree?
You mean like you just did, or is it because you think you'er right you can say whatever you want and not be held acountable for not respecting someones views.
Anyway, as I was saying, thugs and sociopaths are creative at finding ways to hurt ppl. that ppl. are helpless to react to right away. It takes an entire community in a large city to pass a noise pollution law in order to do something about subwoofer cars, for example. We can learn from this creativity. There's all kinds of things we can do that won't result in getting beat up by brown shirts!
What bothers me about those stickers is they don't really mean it. If you could put on special glasses that allowed you to see what they really mean, they would read, "does this bug you? does this bug you? does this bug you?" They're like school ages siblings trying to get on the nerves of the "liberal" kids because they think it's revenge for the lib kids saying smart stuff and makin' em feel bad.
Whoa, just looked it up and in my area a board for 4 weeks would be 800 dollars. Would have to save up. Sheesh. How did that church or whomever back in the day afford to put those messages from God all over the place?
I tried to get some ppl. on a innernets forum to do this, and they chickened out. One guy said his landlord might not like it if he found out. Can you believe it. First of all, how would anyone know? And it's not like you're sneaking up on an SUV and putting a sticker on. It's safe. It's designed to bypass knee jerk partisan dismissal. But no one was interested. Sounding off in the internet was more their speed.
What if a number of us across the country agreed ahead of time on a particular day in which to buy bill board space. One day, all across the country, bill boards read, in white letters on a black background, "Fools and their money are soon parted". It's not immediately political. It's not specific enough to be dismissed as partisan.
Then you have to do what they do in the ghetto, in the hood, you have to come up with creative ways of lashing out that no one can do anything about. A kid walks into a store with his pants partly down. What, exactly, can anyone do about that? See? Someone drives by with super sonic speakers booming. What can anyone do about that? You can't call the cops; the car is gone. See?
I have a friend that we lovingly rfer to as AcidJim. He used to keep a bumper sticker on his car that said, "Fat people are harder to kidnap." I always wondered why he kept a stack in his glovebox of the same sticker until the day it was scratched off. The vandals were waiting on us in a nearby car. When Jim replaced the sticker, he gave them a mock salute. I wish I could be that unashamed all the time.
Wow, I also thought of making a bumper sticker/ribbon similar to the "Reject U.S. Imperialism" ribbon. But, I too am afraid of sticking on my bumper. :(
You can be right or you can be popular but you cannot be both and if you know whats good for you and your not popular you will keep your mouth shut cya (cover your ass)
I was thinking of making one that says "support meaningless jingoism", but I was similarly scared of having my car keyed by some brainwashed person with a yellow sticker.

"Doesn't that seem dishonest? Doesn't that seem like explotation?".
Doen't your show seem like leftist propaganda?
Your assumption is that people join the military not to serve their nation but to get free money and benefits without wanting to provide the service they are expected to as part of the contract with the federal government.
There is nothing imperialistic about the war on terrorism.
The "empire builders" service the owners of the media. The least the media can do is make joining the military, or supporting the "builders" look cool. Kill the elite ruling media, problem solved. Methinks.
"the elite ruling media"? are you serious? Does your name illustrate your intelligence? Who do you think controls the media Mr. HillBilly? "Methinks" you should read more.
Thank you for making sure I'm put in my place. If you are receiving or will be receiving any money or benefits from the US government, I am paying for you. But in the end, your much to clever for me, with all your "nuances" and such.
This is the most cowardly, anti-American channel on YouTube. You wrap your criticisms in a benign-looking kitty package because you're afraid to show your face. You try to knock down American icons like Thomas Edison because he represents U.S. innovation. You label the Iraq invasion as illegal, despite the fact that Sadaam clearly violated the 1991 contract that ended the first Gulf War, and subsequent U.N. resolutions. Who are you anyway!!!???
Wow you took the blue pill didn't you. What happened to the concept of inquisitiveness, of being an individual, of questioning societies "icons" or methods of communicating?
Have you ever considered that the people of Pinky hide from meat-heads like you. Ex-marine huh? how many people have you killed in your life? How many people you served with killed other men, woman or children? Murder is murder in any costume or rational. Bo yah.
I am a liberal. There is a difference between honest criticism and outright, shameless anti-American rhetoric.
I happen to oppose the war in Iraq. It was a very poor policy decision. However, I don't believe the war was illegal.
You know absolutely nothing about me to make the erroneous assumptions that you've made. You're thirty years old and you haven't had a real world education yet? Punk!
I am so glad there are rational, educated, trustworthy people like yourself with "real-world" education to cause the American dream for me and my children. How many people have you killed btw? Reality is what i'm talking about people, not neo-con deception in liberal clothing. Pinky is a truth sayer. What truth can you say, sir?
I hope you know that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. And you're not very good at it.
Just because I haven't killed anyone doesn't mean that I didn't work hard to protect you and your freedom to spout out insane rants, however uneducated they may be.
Here's a simple truth for you: You have the luxury of being able to offer your opinions because of the values that America has espoused. You may live in Italy; but it isn't controlled by a Mussolini or some other Nazi puppet...is it!?
OK. It is clear that you don't comprehend the nuances of what I say. I am well aware of Italy's governmental structure. If you don't understand the Italy comment, I guess I really can't help you.
You were about twelve by the time my service in the Marine Corps was over. You didn't give me one penny...little boy.
the truth is a bitch isnt it? open your eyes, the u.s is not very nice to other countrys. and no, not because those other countrys are dictaterships(30 bliion dolers to saudi arabia? come on!) just because america says its about freedom dosint mean it is. in truth, politicians dont care, they do whats best stragically not ethicly. that means supporting dictatrerships and bombing countrys for no reason.
all i have to say is that Ageastman fits in the definition of when i call people "F*cking Idiot", and who the hell is the USA to interfere with other countries, no one freaken inteferes with them. the US holds the biggest amount of ignorant people in the wolrd... but who cares... right?? Hooray for the Land of the Free.
You dont have enough respect to say I am an idiot or that americans are ignorant mr. central american. If you opened your eyes you know that Iraq would not comply to let us insepct their weapons several times and they were a threat even if they didnt have WMDs and were supporting terrorists. We dont conquer people we dont like, otherwise we would already rule the world.
"The dirty work of empire building"... Doesn't that mean that we would actually have to keep Iraq as a territory? Not give it back as a democratic republic?
And just a simple little fact, war is dirty. It's always been dirty, it is dirty, and it will forever remain dirty. People die in war. I don't know where you got your idea of morality from, but I don't think that Osama Bin Laden would like to come over to your house for a nice Bar-b-que...
You should be afraid of sticking it on your car, because U.S. citizens are going to look upon you as scum and they are going to do some terrible things to your car, and possibly you. We arent colonizing or empire building, were liberating a country from oppression and with that comes great cost, but its necessary. Its because of wars like this that you are even given the right to express your self in such a mislead way.
The U.S. has blinded us. We can fool ourselves as long as we want. The cat is right, killing is killing is murder. The U.S. says "right cause" but what cause? Oil? Security? Power?
I don't wish ill on my country but I can't stop but thinking we need another, then another, then another, of those painful reality-checks. Then maybe something will sink in.
Gwah... Never looked at it like that... I always thought that most people put those ribbons to make them feel better about people being sent overseas into big wars and all that (and the ribbons do make people feel better about themselves, right?), but I never thought of it as supporting the US for building itself.
Pinky, you're so open-minded and thought-provoking.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
people join the army to get experience and protect the ones they love not fighting for this is useless.... many people in the u.s.a have those stickers that they are proud to be able to have troops that protect them with their lives and not tring to make an empire so i suggest you leave america alone or you can burn in hell and i hope you bloody well remember that
I find it ironic that the comments that so quickly and feverishly defend America lack rational though, coherent sentences, or punctuation. I can hardly respect an opinion that decrees "Leave America alone or you can burn in hell..." Perhaps there may be the beginning of an intellectual debate buried somewhere underneath the immature threat and pathetic grammar, but I fail to see where.
Smurfs, I agree. Sawyer is a fool but his uneducated and aggressive posture also represents a mentality that seems to pervade American society.
Why this is, I can only speculate (maybe, as a nation we just don't read enough?), but one thought does comes to mind; we've been beaten, invaded or conquered! We're the undisciplined toddler with big guns.
I joined the army for the experience. I know many people that went to war. None of them went because they wanted to kill, they went for the experience.
TikiTak: Experience of what? War, destruction, exploitation? I don't think they, nor you, joined the military to explore and rejoice in Iraqi culture, its history or languages. Go to Walt Disney World if you want an "experience".
The sticker is merely the owners way of saying they approve of the military or the troops that make our military. It's not saying anything more than that. It's just a sticker. If it bothers you, ask why people put it on their car. All this video does is take out any good meaning that ribbon might've had a replaced it with another one that says something completely different. I'm sorry yellow ribbons confuse you.
The way the government exploits soldiers to expand is wrong indeed, but the troops have nothing to do with it, most if not all join for discipline, honor, to help pay for education, and/or to serve and protect your rights
I'm dubious about Veritech's ability at constitutional interpretations. My heart is happy that there are some sane people in this country like SportsRacer.
All this talk, and also on other Pinky etc utubes, i read all this rubbish like " well if you don't agree with what our gov't is doing the you should move to a different one etc..." This is the same sort of rhetoric that was all the vogue in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
"Freedoms that they're* not aware of"??? Our Freedoms are more limited than of those in other modernized countries. And it gets more and more limited every day.
If you had respect for these soldiers, you wouldn't justify their existence there with such meaningless, platonic, bullshit. I'm sure any one of them would beat your face in.
No, it was a leap for Modern Day Imperialism that less than 35% of Americans support, but are afraid of speaking out on because of supposed "patriot" dolts like you who push for this ignorant ideal. You're a naive idealist. You don't dig deep, you eat up what you see on TV.
Now again, we did take a ruthless leader down, at the cost of nearly a million dead Iraqi civilians, a death toll Saddam would've never reached, and thousands of dead US soldiers. We went in under false pretenses, WMD's? Al Queda link?
When we went in, Saddam had no usable chemical weapons left. Now, granted he was a totalitarian ruler, the US going in there to fight "terrorism" is kind of counter-intuitive, if we wanted to fight terrorism and equality or liberty we should've gone Saudi Arabia, where the Al Queda originate from.
Freedom of speech allows you to say this stuff Pinky. You don't need to disrespect the soldiers who died for you to be able to talk shit about them. The First amendment only protects you from the government.
Nobody is forcing you to live in America. You obviously have never seen any of the pictures of Iraqi's cheering on our soldiers, with signs saying "Thankyou America!" Why? Because you're so open minded that your brain fell out. Many of our guys in Iraq are there on their own free will, and this is coming from a soldier's perspective. People die so you can say what you want. Wanna keep sayin this? Go ahead.
people die so i can say what i want? It seems to me that this is guaranteed by my first amendment rights, not an oil war occuring thousands of miles away.
I think if you're absolutely honest with yourself you'll change your mind. My men and I fought, killed, and died to ensure people just like you could say that sort of thing.
I'm ex-airborne. And I'm offended by the notion that you can possibly say the military is similar to a terrorist organization. I won't cuss or threaten or call you names. But I hope you spend a great deal of time reflecting on who you are and what you are before commiting to so slanderous, unresearched, and insulting a comparison.
smart enough to be afraid of ignorant pseudo-patriot retaliation. Are you against the lies or the methods? see also:Mossadegh, then tell me where America would be today had alCIAda not stepped on him...
sorry but. the real deadly and most powerfull terrorists on this planet are born and produced in america. their called the military. since they like to bomb other countries and kill well more then tripple of what alciada have done to them. ontop of that all the reasons theyve gone to war are purely based on lies stated by your president. inform yourself before you decided to stand up for bush.
jumping to assumptions is akin to diving head first off a strange cliff, i am not against history i might not be here had things not happened the way they did part of my point but i will call things how i see them just as you might have thought you were doing in your response.. btw welcome to the ZOG and sevil nataS
i think you and i could agree that man will not know peace so long as there is ignorance... for more on me click the blue thingy
LMAO you are such an ignorant fool.. obviously anyone who joins the army knows what they're in for.. they are trained to kill because that is thier job. If noone did that "dirty work" for you, your country would crumble into dust but maybe thats what you'd like to see hmm?
I hate it when people say "This sucks, If you don't support our troops than go live elsewhere!!!" They're retards. Pinky is clearly stating that bringing them home is supporting them. "They go join the military to defend their country, and maybe for college money." Should be clearn enough for themselves.

We live in a government who follows the philosophy of Socrates.

wow your pethetic my dad joined because he wanted to defend his country why did you judt move to china or korea or someone who against us why stay here if you hate it so much FUCK OFF!!!
I hope your poor father comes home alive. I love my country, thank you. As to moving "to china or korea or someone who against us" only illuminates your lack of knowledge. China is a strong US supporter (albeit enormous and frightening) and many Americans live there and do quite well. Korea does not exist at the current moment it is divided in two. Which one do you mean?
I, like Signor Pinky, have considered creating my own bumper sticker. After thinking about it and noting the extreme sense of fear i developed at the idea of doing so, i decided not to create this sticker.
To somehow preserve the idea i would like to tell you:
nasa, satelites, computers, and radio systems were made because of war. You could say war is the main reason we live comfortably. It's not all bad. If we dont want a nation to fall, war is needed. Im not saying it's good, but without war our lives would be much different.
So just because a stupid war being fought by the US is going on, people shouldn't give support for troops? I mean.. you will barely find an American out there that actually agrees with the war, but they want to support their troops so they come back alive and well, that makes them supporters of 'American imperialism?'
WHAT!?!?! Your kidding right??? You are already confusing the point of support are troops, it means we care for are troops, it dosn't mean we are all for the war?!?! Pinky WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!! Also, no duh on the point of people joining the army for collage and defending are nation, and you said they get sent on dirty work... Isn't that dirty work that you speak of defending are nationg right there... Sorry pinky, I really am sorry, but this pinky show seemed really stupid...
Good job alex go watch south park like a good sheep, bah, have kids, and watch em get drafted! You'll be bahing a different tune then wont cha! Nah...you probably wont, you'll just wear the ribbon with pride and pretend that your standing for something that isnt drenched in lies. They fuck us because they can get away with it! People like you are always behind them.
most people join the military for college money. i havn't met too many that joined for anything as noble as... defending our country. even after 9/11.
Hey, if you sign up for front line infantry, but have problems with guns/killing/blood, you're in the wrong place. Hell, if you sign up for the Army and have problems with killing, you're in the wrong place. That money for college thing is a bonus, understand that. Finally, if you don't want to stand behind our troops and support their actions, I'll pay the airfare for you to stand in front of them.
support their actions? last I heard no one that joined to do any killing chose to be where they are doing what they are doing. Supporting them to me means that they will come back alive, well, and safe. It does not mean that I have to support the "presidential" agenda that got them there in the first place.
Their job is to follow orders. That might or might not involve killing. That comes with the job. Whether or not that's part of a presidential agenda in the first place doesn't matter. Orders are orders.
the first part of your statement I agree with because there is always fresh volunteers for military. But if you don't subscribe to it no one should stand infront of them. That is why they're supposed to do whether people like it or not.
Selling "Support our Troops" ribbons and having not a single cent going to things like veteran's care is a form of exploitation, too. Yay capitalism 8)
Loved this video. Stupid plastic ribbons... support our troops.. HA!! Reminds me of all those short films about invading foreign armies, and how we should follow the right & might of our military leaders. We Americans are so gullible. Sad, trully sad. Why can't we just support our vets, stop military increased in recruiting and weapons, and focus on national issues. WTF are we doing as the world-police? Stupid ribbons!!
What a great video ! I am afraid to put my ribbons on my car too. My ribbon says support the troops, bring them home. To mr airborne. there is no "we". Only in your mind. You are creating a legacy of death. I and others wish you would stop and come home. Quit making Iraquis hate people in the United States.
Missles explode, and go away forever, and the money that they make will be spent but will not be circulated back into their pockets for lack of supplies. In any event, they will profit at first, but long drawn out ocuppancies like this will eventually lead for weapons costs going down and the profit the corporations will disapear. it doesn't take a genious to figure that out. It only take sa penny to make a 5.56mm round now. before it was around 5 cents.
I've been to VA hospitals and talked to people with DU poisoning. I also learned that the amount of cases has dropp dramatically. I know what I am talking about, the soldiers story never gets out, its the media's story. The media is liberal and wants Bush out. So you get different pieces of different puzzles to form a different picture. You, my friend, are mis-informed
Liberals r against war&for social programs.If it was a liberal media they would drill into u how much of the discretionary budget goes to the military (>53%) vs. social programs.Conservatives r for limited low spending govts&helping your neighbor.Are these pretend conservatives limiting spending in all these wars?Media is owned by huge corps, like GE(w/military contracts&related interests) owns NBC.Real soldier's stories are never told by corp media.For a real story go to sirnosirdotcom
Airborne don't breathe DU dust & remember your true mission is to come home safe.& when u can look at the media and ask if the media were liberal ABC would be treating Pres candidate Kucinich, a true liberal, a lot better.On the ABC poll he won the debate but was cropped out of their picture and then their debate poll was removed.Watch what happens to Kucinich, he tells the truth, but gets wiped out by corp media. The media preselects the candidates which will be best for corps Good luck to you.
War bugeting has to increase during a state of war. All the companies that our leaders are connected to DO profit. But if that was the reason why we were there, This Occupancy would have fell apart a long time ago for the fact that big corporations don't want to spend big money on things like missles.
Mel666 needs to stop talking out his ass. The Iraqis have killed themselves more than we have. We don't need 82% of Iraq's oil. Iraq isnt even on our top five list of oil suppliers. DU hasn't been used since OIF1, becuase there are no more tanks to kill. Tank crews use HEAT rounds only. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't know what a HEAT round or OIF1 stands for, cuz bullshit liberal news doesn't tell you the truth, rather give u pieces of different puzzles to form a different picture.
Airborne I appreciate your desire to serve.But fear for your future.You seem to think that the information you get from the military is accurate.The first casualty in war is the truth.You need to talk to Pat Tillman's family,Jessica Lynch,soldiers suffering from DU poisoning & many others.Read some history of Iraq &Iran.Watch Ehrin Watada on the Pinky Show.
Airborne sometimes serving your govt is not serving your country or your people.You've got to ask yourself why are you in Iraq?What did the Iraqi people do to us? Why did Eisenhower warn us about the military industrial complex? How much oil is in Iraq compared to the rest of the world?If corporations control our govt & they're making money why would they want to leave when it's just killing working folks like us?
You know what videos like this do? it takes different pieces of different puzzles n forms completely different pictures. Corporations haven't run our government since the early 1990's. We are in Iraq trying to set up a stable government and make lives better for people. I have children chase me in th streets everyday to play, to help feed their dog, to help put up a door.
Prior to the 90s we were led by public servants who knew that most money comes from corporations so they did what the corps wanted unless people kicked & screamed. Now we are led by corporations. Bush, former oil corp CEO &Cheney,former Haliburton CEO. How many military support activities are now done by Haliburton or KBR, its subsidiary, rather than by the military?Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice has had a Chevron oil tanker named after her.Our govt and the corporations are one & the same.
I appreciate you asking ThatChristian.But it would probably help if you did some of your own research.Google it.See if a Oil tanker was named after Rice or not.Then let us know what you find.And remember God said You Shall Not Kill.I think he meant all of his human creations.
As a very important aside, the //structure// of our Armed Forces has been corporatized by malevolent insane bigots. This is an extraordinarily dangerous state of affairs for our GIs, America, and every man woman and child on the planet at large.

Army benefits as they stand today, ARE AN ////INSTULT/// TO GIs.
Ontop of that since the end of the Korean Conflict, insurance companies have conspired with government to plunder the GI DEATH benefits that are supposed to go to surviving family members designated by KIA GIs before their deaths.
Get yourself killed in a colonial War of Aggression, and your family gets little or NOTHING, and you won't be around to protest. It is a near perfect scam.

Not only are you afraid of sticking on your car but you are afraid to show your face. Instead you hide behind a cartoon cat and tell half truths. If those troops did not exist nor would your freedom to free speech and expression. Sometime you just need to know when to shut up and keep your thoughts to yourself. Using a cartoon to get a personal or political point across is the pinnacle of cowardliness.

I'm an expat living in Canada, and my car has two bumper stickers; Mission -- Failed ( a memento from when I was a young teen campaigning for Kerry in 2004), and Support Our Troops.
This is because I too believe the best way to support our troops, is to get them the hell out of this combat which the majority of them disagree with.
GamberroSalvador 2 years ago
If honesty were legally required, the stickers here in Canada would have to say "Support Our War."
First off, the sticker might as well say "Pay Your Taxes" as that is literally where the tangible support for the troops comes from.
Secondly, Canadian troops have been in harm's way for years, either in peace-keeping operations or just regular training. Yet no one saw the need to command (note the imperative sentence structure on the stickers) that we support the troops then.

Why is 'communist' the first thing American far right-wingers respond to well thought-out commentary on the way of life developing in the US that goes against its own constitution? If you are commenting on the people of Iraq, they had nothing to do with Al-Qaeda. They are only concerned with people taking over their country, and going straight for the oil reserve while doing it. Al-Qaeda and Jihadists in general work outside of any particular country's remittance. Don't you understand that?

First of all I only seem FAR right to a FAR leftist as yourself. Most Americans are God fearing Christians unlike the Eurotrash. Communist/ socialist what's the difference? That's Europe and we don't want it here. Our Forefathers fought and died to get away from it. Sadam helped train terrorists. He brought them there himself. If we are going for oil why is it so expensive? Terrorists need to be killed where ever they are. Do you understand that?
iwasbornin1963 3 years ago
I understand that you're ignorant and have no understanding of the world's political climate, and that you sound like a xenophobic racist. Terrorism is one thing we've had to contend with in the UK for many years, thanks to the IRA. But we don't spout anti-Irish sentiment, nor have the UK government bombed the living crap out of Belfast. Nor did they then go 'next door' and blame the Republic of Ireland for the troubles and try to destroy their government and replace them with a puppet.

rejecting the deception that was used to get us into this war is not the same as not supporting the troops, and it's not the same as supporting our enemies. They weren't our enemies until we started blowing up their country. News flash, Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan, the 9/11 bombers were Saudi Arabian. Iraq was minding its business.

I'm dubious about Veritech's ability at constitutional interpretations. My heart is happy that there are some sane people in this country like SportsRacer.
All this talk, and also on other Pinky etc utubes, i read all this rubbish like " well if you don't agree with what our gov't is doing the you should move to a different one etc..." This is the same sort of rhetoric that was all the vogue in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
Lets wake up people.... :)
Thanks Pinky.

"Freedoms that they're* not aware of"??? Our Freedoms are more limited than of those in other modernized countries. And it gets more and more limited every day.
If you had respect for these soldiers, you wouldn't justify their existence there with such meaningless, platonic, bullshit. I'm sure any one of them would beat your face in.
SportsRacer 4 years ago
No, it was a leap for Modern Day Imperialism that less than 35% of Americans support, but are afraid of speaking out on because of supposed "patriot" dolts like you who push for this ignorant ideal. You're a naive idealist. You don't dig deep, you eat up what you see on TV.

Now again, we did take a ruthless leader down, at the cost of nearly a million dead Iraqi civilians, a death toll Saddam would've never reached, and thousands of dead US soldiers. We went in under false pretenses, WMD's? Al Queda link?
SportsRacer 4 years ago
When we went in, Saddam had no usable chemical weapons left. Now, granted he was a totalitarian ruler, the US going in there to fight "terrorism" is kind of counter-intuitive, if we wanted to fight terrorism and equality or liberty we should've gone Saudi Arabia, where the Al Queda originate from.

Nobody is forcing you to live in America. You obviously have never seen any of the pictures of Iraqi's cheering on our soldiers, with signs saying "Thankyou America!" Why? Because you're so open minded that your brain fell out. Many of our guys in Iraq are there on their own free will, and this is coming from a soldier's perspective. People die so you can say what you want. Wanna keep sayin this? Go ahead.

I'm ex-airborne. And I'm offended by the notion that you can possibly say the military is similar to a terrorist organization. I won't cuss or threaten or call you names. But I hope you spend a great deal of time reflecting on who you are and what you are before commiting to so slanderous, unresearched, and insulting a comparison.

sorry but. the real deadly and most powerfull terrorists on this planet are born and produced in america. their called the military. since they like to bomb other countries and kill well more then tripple of what alciada have done to them. ontop of that all the reasons theyve gone to war are purely based on lies stated by your president. inform yourself before you decided to stand up for bush.

I hate it when people say "This sucks, If you don't support our troops than go live elsewhere!!!" They're retards. Pinky is clearly stating that bringing them home is supporting them. "They go join the military to defend their country, and maybe for college money." Should be clearn enough for themselves.

I hope your poor father comes home alive. I love my country, thank you. As to moving "to china or korea or someone who against us" only illuminates your lack of knowledge. China is a strong US supporter (albeit enormous and frightening) and many Americans live there and do quite well. Korea does not exist at the current moment it is divided in two. Which one do you mean?

I, like Signor Pinky, have considered creating my own bumper sticker. After thinking about it and noting the extreme sense of fear i developed at the idea of doing so, i decided not to create this sticker.
To somehow preserve the idea i would like to tell you:
It would have read "I do not support out troops"
opps.....
DASGuy 4 years ago
nasa, satelites, computers, and radio systems were made because of war. You could say war is the main reason we live comfortably. It's not all bad. If we dont want a nation to fall, war is needed. Im not saying it's good, but without war our lives would be much different.
Johnster2657 4 years ago
So just because a stupid war being fought by the US is going on, people shouldn't give support for troops? I mean.. you will barely find an American out there that actually agrees with the war, but they want to support their troops so they come back alive and well, that makes them supporters of 'American imperialism?'

Hey, if you sign up for front line infantry, but have problems with guns/killing/blood, you're in the wrong place. Hell, if you sign up for the Army and have problems with killing, you're in the wrong place. That money for college thing is a bonus, understand that. Finally, if you don't want to stand behind our troops and support their actions, I'll pay the airfare for you to stand in front of them.
Havoc2007 4 years ago
support their actions? last I heard no one that joined to do any killing chose to be where they are doing what they are doing. Supporting them to me means that they will come back alive, well, and safe. It does not mean that I have to support the "presidential" agenda that got them there in the first place.
endearingwhiledrunk 4 years ago 2
Their job is to follow orders. That might or might not involve killing. That comes with the job. Whether or not that's part of a presidential agenda in the first place doesn't matter. Orders are orders.
Havoc2007 4 years ago
the first part of your statement I agree with because there is always fresh volunteers for military. But if you don't subscribe to it no one should stand infront of them. That is why they're supposed to do whether people like it or not.

Missles explode, and go away forever, and the money that they make will be spent but will not be circulated back into their pockets for lack of supplies. In any event, they will profit at first, but long drawn out ocuppancies like this will eventually lead for weapons costs going down and the profit the corporations will disapear. it doesn't take a genious to figure that out. It only take sa penny to make a 5.56mm round now. before it was around 5 cents.

I've been to VA hospitals and talked to people with DU poisoning. I also learned that the amount of cases has dropp dramatically. I know what I am talking about, the soldiers story never gets out, its the media's story. The media is liberal and wants Bush out. So you get different pieces of different puzzles to form a different picture. You, my friend, are mis-informed

Liberals r against war&for social programs.If it was a liberal media they would drill into u how much of the discretionary budget goes to the military (>53%) vs. social programs.Conservatives r for limited low spending govts&helping your neighbor.Are these pretend conservatives limiting spending in all these wars?Media is owned by huge corps, like GE(w/military contracts&related interests) owns NBC.Real soldier's stories are never told by corp media.For a real story go to sirnosirdotcom

Airborne don't breathe DU dust & remember your true mission is to come home safe.& when u can look at the media and ask if the media were liberal ABC would be treating Pres candidate Kucinich, a true liberal, a lot better.On the ABC poll he won the debate but was cropped out of their picture and then their debate poll was removed.Watch what happens to Kucinich, he tells the truth, but gets wiped out by corp media. The media preselects the candidates which will be best for corps Good luck to you.

War bugeting has to increase during a state of war. All the companies that our leaders are connected to DO profit. But if that was the reason why we were there, This Occupancy would have fell apart a long time ago for the fact that big corporations don't want to spend big money on things like missles.

Mel666 needs to stop talking out his ass. The Iraqis have killed themselves more than we have. We don't need 82% of Iraq's oil. Iraq isnt even on our top five list of oil suppliers. DU hasn't been used since OIF1, becuase there are no more tanks to kill. Tank crews use HEAT rounds only. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't know what a HEAT round or OIF1 stands for, cuz bullshit liberal news doesn't tell you the truth, rather give u pieces of different puzzles to form a different picture.

Airborne I appreciate your desire to serve.But fear for your future.You seem to think that the information you get from the military is accurate.The first casualty in war is the truth.You need to talk to Pat Tillman's family,Jessica Lynch,soldiers suffering from DU poisoning & many others.Read some history of Iraq &Iran.Watch Ehrin Watada on the Pinky Show.
Mel6666 4 years ago
Airborne sometimes serving your govt is not serving your country or your people.You've got to ask yourself why are you in Iraq?What did the Iraqi people do to us? Why did Eisenhower warn us about the military industrial complex? How much oil is in Iraq compared to the rest of the world?If corporations control our govt & they're making money why would they want to leave when it's just killing working folks like us?
Mel6666 4 years ago
You know what videos like this do? it takes different pieces of different puzzles n forms completely different pictures. Corporations haven't run our government since the early 1990's. We are in Iraq trying to set up a stable government and make lives better for people. I have children chase me in th streets everyday to play, to help feed their dog, to help put up a door.

Prior to the 90s we were led by public servants who knew that most money comes from corporations so they did what the corps wanted unless people kicked & screamed. Now we are led by corporations. Bush, former oil corp CEO &Cheney,former Haliburton CEO. How many military support activities are now done by Haliburton or KBR, its subsidiary, rather than by the military?Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice has had a Chevron oil tanker named after her.Our govt and the corporations are one & the same.
