Is it just me or does it look like the woman in the video is wearing an Israeli Defense Forces t-shirt? Attachments:

After this, I am officially ashamed to be from this That's a pity. Because this woman has the right to spew the shit she did, you have the right to say what you do. I defend both. Frankly, I'm proud to be from a country where I have the right to disagree with people and not have to worry about repercussions from the state. On a broader note, however, I do agree, she was a bitch, though, I see her point. Fundies and Conservatives think Obama is Hitler, so, her view was that the Israeli was supporting someone who was basically Hitler. I guess she thought it was ironic. Marc

Given her attitude i think it was more "learning experience/whoop some brown people" You can't claim to not know what is potentially involved these days, but it always pissed me off to see the whole military thing advertised as "a chance to learn a trade, and a really cool job." Yeah, that pisses me off as well, and I'm current Navy. I served in Deck Department for 4 years-chipping paint and non-skid, and basically hating life. Now, I will say that the Navy offers a lot of benefits-free health care being one of them. My son cost over $1 million before he left the NICU, and we didn't pay a dime. Were I a civilian, he would likely be dead. I would love to see similar benefits for everyone. There's no logical reason to deny it to anybody. Marc

There's no logical reason to deny it to anybody. Marc Sure there is. That 100 billion a year could be used to buy an extra 100 tanks that we won't use. Or an extra two carriers that we can't man. Or 100 extra fighter-jets that are useless. And, ultimately 30 extra ivory back-scratchers and 3 gold toilets to the guys who told the guys how to tell the guys who made it how. My comfort is more important than your life, after all. That's really all modern conservatism (also Glibertarianism) is. Fuck you, I've got mine, and I want more.
