blah blah blah ther must be something to do with your time
Red T-Shirt, It does not mean you support the occupation of Afghanistan, or the war on IRAQ, the US, or our Gov’t you W.A.F.L
WTF does it mean then exactly? Would the gathered red wearing tits be supportive if a group showed up with banners decrying the mission? How about general protesting against any war? No?Than that’s what it’s also about so stop your lying pretty please.
Propaganda indeed. You’re absolutely right. Maybe those opposed to this brain dead idea should wear black on Fridays to mourn the death of peace.
Oddly enough, I’ve been thinking about that. Why not after all? If it’s about hoping for peace then shouldn’t we all be doing something to mourn the dead and wish for an end?But that, as you know, is not what “support the troops” is about.
I’ll start having the people at work wear black on Fridays, your right we should honor those that never asked for these conflicts, the paid the ultimate sacrifice. They were not sent to war but war was brought to them.
