Body Parts of the People We Kill

BODY PARTS OF THE PEOPLE WE KILL BEING USED AS PROPS IN PHOTOS BY THE ****ED UP MURDEROUS AMERICAN SOLDIERS PARADING AROUND THE GLOBE BEATING UPON THE HEADS OF THE REST OF THE WORLD WITH THEIR POLICEMAN”S BATON--- do you think this is ok, mister/miss john/jenny Q taxpayer? do you think that after these kids get roped in by recruiters to be all they can be, they get taught in basic training that posing with the body parts of the Afghans that they kill is somehow right? isn’t it bad enough that we are so ****ing self-righteous that we believe we can beat the world into submission, so that everyone will walk, talk & act like us? isn’t it bad enough that desecration story after desecration story concerning the bodies of people that we are supposedly “protecting” end up being a news blurb for five seconds & then we are supposed to give a *****about justin bieber & cristina aguilera? HAVE AN OPINION ON THE SUBJECT? THESE ARE THE BODIES OF THE PEOPLE THAT OUR TAX DOLLARS KILL. YOU & I SHOULD BE ANGRY, NO? THESE ARE THE BODIES OF THE PEOPLE THAT OUR TAX DOLLARS KILL.
