    Listen, fat; we need to destabilize the Middle East to prevent the formation of a pan-arab regional alliance that could threaten our hegemony by controlling key energy resources and trade navigation routes, so you need to go die in a miserable war of imperial conquest while your friends and family at home are stretched to the breaking point by corporate profiteering.

      My nephew joined the army a few years ago and now wants out. I tried talking him out of it or at least consider the coast guard if you’re going to be a jack boot, but the rest of my family are all military ass kissers.

      I think he’s seen some light but I doubt it since that side of my family is incredibly reactionary.
