Afghanistan, rethink

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Maybe we should rethink Afghanistan, which you can do at rethinkafghanistan.com.

If you watch the videos there, you’ll go: Oh yeah, there’s real people over there getting killed who have no idea why some jackass sitting in an underground office in Virginia keeps blowing them up via remote control. These guys must be like rednecks that run down animals with their trucks and put m80s in fish and frogs. Now they have model airplanes with guns that we paid for. Can you imagine paying for the gun that some idiot uses to kill innocent people? That’s what paying for the Afghanistan war is. Now shut up and get back to work.

This Brave New Films production is a good antidote to the infotainers and blowhards who have nothing at stake there, who think that arguing about war is a pastime and hobby, like running down deer with their truck.
