Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan received a surprise Christmas visit on Saturday from one of their fiercest backers — Don Cherry.
“Fiercest backers”? I don’t think so. What Cherry backs is that mindlessness of cheering for your favourite team from the safety of the bleachers while the team takes all the risks. And it doesn’t matter why the team is there, in case of military action, it only matters that they kick ass and look cool doing it.
And if such mindless backers of their favourite team get to mingle with the “stars” they worship, get to have a little of that hallowed sweat drip on them, and even, dare they even hope - don the uniform so linked to testosterone in action, well that’s just prime jacking off material.
"Taliban, here I come,"(Cherry) joked after getting approval to fire the explosive-laden training round.
Yeah, real funny stuff, that. War is hilarious. And you get to handle a huge penis and shoot it off.
Petey sees the humour. After all, he is defense minister -
"Don, this is a different type of ’He shoots, he scores,’"...MacKay (said).
Sure, ‘cause it’s just a big, entertaining game for boys. And it’s cool. So fucking cool with super-cool toys and that’s damn sexy -
But for those who come home maimed, and those who receive the caskets of loved ones so torn apart remains can’t be viewed, there’s reality -
Cherry and MacKay are fucking slave-lords, living off the pain of those they send out to face death and to kill. Canadians should be outraged at the mockery they make of our troops sacriffices.

I have always been outraged at the way nations felt that men and women who volunteered for their armies were now tools to be used for their advancement. I have always stood against the use of our troops in such unclear missions and objections. I have often been branded as unpatriotic or told that if I don't stand behind the troops, I can stand in front of them. Well if it helps to bring them home, where even some families are to stupid to realize that is where they should be then I would gladly stand in front of them. I will not on the other hand sacrifice myself in vain as they are when nothing will change. FUCK big government and the propaganda machines used to perpetuate their machines of war.
