“Imagine your story being told by a soldier from another country invading Utah.. or Arizona..”

Imagine you’re a shapeshifter without any eyebrows, like Oto from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Kind of puts it in perspective, huh?

Every conflict has an enemy, and the enemy is sometimes similar to us. They have a mother, a home, and a life of their own. However, we have our mission, and when someone starts planting bombs in the road, financing foreign fighter trafficking, or beheading people then we are going to put them in jail or introduce them to penetrating head trauma, the #1 cause of combat death.

Abyway.. we’re having problems with all those chuck norris/berlusconi/john wayne hardcore fascist holligans that organize rallys in my town throwing rock at islamic shops and baeting the shit out of women and little boys for being islamic.
“DOWN WITH TERRORISM ! VIVA BERLUSCONI ! VIVA BUSH !” they scream, while wawing italians and american flags and calling this “war for freedom”.
There is a party too called “tank you america”. They thank you for defending freedom and democracy, two words tha I hate because have lost theyr sense.
