Fucking Idiot American Soldiers and the Idiot Chimp that Runs the Show Can Rot in Hell

[mbarrick]

I am supremely choked this morning. Probably every Canadian has seen this in news already, but I doubt this is going to show up much in the American media. One of your fuck-head, ill-trained, trigger-happy soldiers dropped a bomb on us, killing four and seriously injuring eight others. This happened in a training area, not a combat zone. Let's take a look at how we've been treated by the U.S. government over the last few months:

• First the U.S., taxes the living shit out of our wood simply because we produce it more efficiently, all the while paying lipservice to "Free Trade"
• Then, after 9-11, Bush completely fails to mention us in his speech despite the fact that we took in all the grounded planes after the airports were shut down and we lost people in the WTC as well, nonetheless we send troops to Afghanistan to help out.
• Meanwhile, we continue to get shit on over the lumber tariff, and
• we get threatened with wheat tariffs.
• The U.S. wrongfully arrests and convicts one of our citizens simply for legally doing business with Cuba (in what is probably some twisted political manoever to try and win the next election in Florida without cheating)
• Bush just assumes we'll play ball with his energy plans,
• and he tries to further walk all over our sovereignty (at least we said "fuck off" to this one)
• and then, we get a fucking bomb dropped on our soldiers!

What does the American millitary have to say about this? How about this:

"We are in a very, very dangerous business," Maj. Bryan Hilferty, a U.S. military spokesman, told reporters at Bagram Air Base north of Kabul. "We play with stuff that kills people."

Play? Play?! That's the bloody problem, American soldiers are, generally speaking, badly trained, given a whole crapload of technology, and they think they are playing a damn video game. An incident like this happened in the Gulf War as well, but to the British. Two thirds of British casualties in ground operations in the gulf were caused by Americans. Most American casualties are caused by Americans.

And the Americans wonder why the rest of the world either hates them or sees them as a fucking unfunny joke.

OK, this one really takes the cake. I have SO had it with the US ramming themselves down our throats, calling the shots and not giving credit where it is due.

Now, I have friends that are American (as many of us do), and please understand me that I do not hate yanks on an individual level - my anger is directed at their government and foreign policies. They, of all people, should know a little bit about war and deadly weapons...but somehow this shit actually happened! And you can bet that the US news will NOT be making this their cover story, oh no.

Just how many more times are they going to shit on us? Yes, we're a nice, polite, friendly nation. We are continually taken advantage of, and do little to retaliate because, well, it IS the USA after all, and they are 'bigger' than us. Frankly, I don't care how big the bully is. He's GOT to be put in his place. On a personal level, I am insulted, pissed off and feeling very vengeful as a result of this event.

Shit, we don't even accept the blame when we nuke our own troops!

Trust me I know first hand!

I am a good Yank though so be nice. Besides I am St. Verkan too.

I agree. I love my American friends, but I hate Americans. To paraphrase MiB:

"An American can be intellegent, but Americans are ignorant, stupid, and trigger-happy."

Never forget that we kicked their ass (http://www.galafilm.com/1812/e/events/wash_burn.html) when they tried to invade.

To be fair

The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post all have the story.

I appreciate you directing your anger at the government, what since it's hard for those of us who appreciate our fellow citizens of the world to voice our opinions and the present administration does a bad job of voicing these feelings well. And, what was up with George W. not going to Canada for his first visit abroad? He broke a nice old ritual, there.

Sorry if I am incoherent... I'm sleepy. ;-)

Ah! Thanks for that. That one had slipped my mind. Also brings up how he likes to call whoever he is sucking up to at the time "America's most important ally."
