Revulsion

Watching the Republican National Convention and just saw the video about Medal of Honor winner Michael Monsour, and all I can say is that it sickens me, this continuing glorification and aggrandisement of war, these dudes now rising Rambo-like from water in silhouette, now crouching with hi-tech weapons pointed at whatever's out there, these chants of "U-S-A," all this macho bullshit. Michael Monsour was undoubtedly selfless and brave, and McCain and his fellow POWs were tough, but lets not make a fucking pep rally out of it, and lets not act as if it's about freedom. It's about war, it's about oil, and it's about penises.
