I don't believe this vindictive self-righteous shit. Here's a choice quote:
"Anything we can do to hurt them without hurting us, I will support," Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.)And this delightful anecdote:
"I was at a celebration of India's Independence Day," he told reporters, "and a Frenchman came walking up to me and started talking to me about Iraq, and it was obvious we were not going to agree. And I said, 'Wait a minute. Do you speak German?' And he looked at me kind of funny and said, 'No, I don't speak German.' And I said, 'You're welcome,' turned around and walked off."If I hear one more time about how the U.S. saved everybody's bacon in WWII and therefore they deserve unquestioning support now, I'm going to scream.
In the early years of the war, the majority of Americans were opposed to sending troops overseas. It wasn't until after Germany's ally Japan smacked the U.S. upside the back of the head at Pearl Harbour that they undertook active involvement.
So, like, thanks, and all, but shut up already about WWII. Because you really weren't doing it out of selfless concern for the rest of the world, now, were you....
