A new video has surfaced from Afghanistan that appears to depict a group of US Marines urinating on the corpses of dead Taliban fighters. The media and lefty-commentators everywhere are expressing their shock and dismay at the vulgar acts of these servicemen. This will be another incident in which the mainstream media (MSM) will present as a pattern of vulgar brutality that is so common place from US and allied soldiers.
Underneath the facade of respect shown by the MSM to the military lies a deep hatred and disgust for the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. It was they, and their predecessors who encouraged the spitting on US servicemen returning home from South Asia and glorified Hanoi Jane, the peace movement allied with the USSR, and the heroic status of butchers like Che Guevara and Fidel Castro.
The members of the media cannot comprehend that men and women would serve out of sacrifice to their country, or undertake placing themselves in such danger for the by-gone idea of patriotism. The uneducated masses just don't know better, they sneer from their northeastern cocktail parties. The media scorns freedom while cheerleading every political scheme to enhance the control of the state at the expense of the individual, lulling the uninformed and apathetic into complacency and dependency with terms like "common good", "welfare", "social justice", and "income inequality".
The idea of sacrificing for freedom, and giving all for country is loathed by the media elite who stick up their nose at the "grunts" as uneducated cavemen that lack their ivy-league enlightenment and who cannot comprehend their nuanced view of world affairs.
And yet, while the media mourns for the enemy, no such investigations are called for regarding Daniel Pearl or Nick Berg who suffered far worse than any captured Taliban or Al Qaeda fighter. Guantanamo is spoken of as if the US has established some kind of Gulag in the Caribbean, and yet the prisoners of war held there gain weight, have access to medical treatment, Korans, and sports activities.
No questions are asked about the American, British, or Canadian POW's of the Taliban or Al Qaeda because there aren't any. None. Our soldiers are slaughtered while the MSM weeps over the treatment of barbaric thugs who would drag us back to the 14th century, who treat women like property, and who execute homosexuals, thieves, and adulterers without care. You will never hear a call for an apology from Japan or Vietnam for the despicable manner in which American and Allied POW's were treated, and yet America is supposed to apologize for dropping the "bomb" which actually saved millions of lives.
In war, horrible things happen. These events are necessary in order that freedom be preserved and civilization be defended from the dragons of barbarity and violence. The MSM may dream of blue-helmeted peacekeepers operating under a UN flag with an international mandate, but for liberty to be preserved a western military composed of free individuals capable of inflicting violence and destruction upon our enemies will always be a necessity.
Yes, war is hell but also necessary. Yes, terrible things happen in war when men who are charged with killing our enemies undertake those actions while in the process lose their friends and limbs. But thank God for those men and women who put on a uniform and do the unthinkable so that we can sleep at night, free from tyranny and oppression.
