Faux Warriors 


Via Atrios. Hilarious.
I am not an experienced military strategist like Sean Hannity. After all, Hannity has made many more last stands in “Risk” than I have. Over at FoxNews, I have heard that Sean's countless, desperate attempts to hold Irkutsk, as Neil Cavuto's hordes surround his last plastic army, are legendary. Why the 'Song of Roland' has nothing on Sean's brave plea to "roll a six".
Make sure to read the entire post. It’s a good one.

One of the great absurdities of the Dark Years is the presence of armchair warriors on wingnut TV, editorial pages, and blogs. I'm talking about David Brooks, Sean Hannity, Limbaugh, Sullivan, et al. These clowns would shit their drawers if they got within 50 miles of a war zone, yet they love to wax heroic about the “sacrifices” “we’re” making. Give me a fucking break. Get in the car, drive to the nearest recruiting center, sign your pampered ass up for front-line duty, or shut the fuck up.

Of course, let’s not forget the mighty Ribbon Brigades — those fearless souls who selflessly risk life and limb to affix “support the troops” magnets (magnets, no less!) to their SUVs. Shit, the trip from the front door to the bumper of that Toyota Sequoia is fraught with mortal peril. And you thought Baghdad was a tough gig?

Perhaps these brave souls should drive their sons and daughters to the nearest recruiting center as well. I have no doubt they’re ready to sacrifice their offspring for the righteous cause. Let’s put some oomph behind those ribbons, shall we?

Fuckwads.

Update: I almost forgot about the 101st Fighting Keyboarders.
