Now that PFC Manning has been convicted of 19 charges (his crime, lest you need reminding, was to expose a morsel of our corrupt government), I thought I’d share the video that was the centerpiece of what he unveiled to the world: U.S. military personnel – – basically boys who got to live our their puerile Shoot ‘Em Up fantasies in real life instead of on their XBox – – slaughter civilians. We all have an unwilling part in this, remember: (a) you work hard to earn money; (b) you are forced to hand over a sizable part of your earnings to the government, lest you be imprisoned; (c) some of the money goes to operations like this. Makes you feel warm all over, right? If not, maybe you should watch the video. Seriously. Press Play.
