Mmmmmkay, if you say so. I'd rather not shoot anything, If I say so myself and I do, on Tuesdays, I don't promote violence or violins for that matter, but hey, they sound pretty. What I do promote is our military, after all, they are the backbone of our freedom. Recently Lieutenant General James N. Mattis stated that "It's fun to shoot some people". Ooopsie. Maybe he could have used better language to get his point across to the masses, maybe not. Personally, I'm all red state when it comes down to protecting our nation (shocked? Don't be, I like the whole survival-of-the-fittest thing), because, I'm a realist and like the cockroach, plan on living out my preordained life cycle. To do just that, on this earth, we need the military, if anything but to protect us from ourselves and our leader, lol, mmmkay.
This is not a perfect world, it can never be perfect, because of our personal perceptions of "perfect", it's different to all of us and respectfully so. The bottom line is acceptance of diversity, the acceptance of all the differences that make us globe squatters what we are. We are fucking outrageous specimens of evolution, we are blessed and fortunate enough to exist and debate our existence.
As callous as the Lieutenant's words were, it's what he was trained to believe and without that training we wouldn't be here. Love him or hate him, but without him and the likes of him, we would not exist.
There ya have it, tell me otherwise, say what you will, but in the reality of it all, he said what he meant and we all know an "elephant is faithful one hundred percent", whether we like it or not. I would love for the world to be a pillar of democracy, peace and freedom, but my thoughts aren't 'their' thoughts and that should be respected, unless you think its cool to lob my fucking head off for being an example of liberty, then you better step back bitch, 'cause karma will ram you in the ass when you least expect it and there ain't enough astroglide on this planet to excuse your sorry fucking ignorance.
This is not the Garden of Eden, nor is it the Utopia of literary prose. We exist here on Earth by chance, by the grace of whatever God you choose and in order to survive, we need to defend our beliefs with the likes of men who are trained to abolish our enemies, I don't condone it, but I live with it, because I have and need to. .
