You’ve touched on something called ‘reality’.

Let’s be perfectly frank, shall we? Aside from this being JUST A FEAKIN JOKE and people should get over it, what you’ve posted is accurate.

When other countries’ military contributions to the WOT are posted here, we applaud politely, but in reality, isn’t it like giving a big cheer for the kid show doesn’t catch the ball but shows up for every practice?

This war is being fought by America. The other countries who are contributing are doing the right thing. That doesn’t mean their contributions deserve the Heismann, the Oscar, the Nobel and a house in the country. Our military is doing the bulk of the fighting, out taxpayers are paying for most of it, and our soldiers are doing by far most of the dying.

We can go back to giving golf claps to the little brothers of the world who are assisting now, and pretending we’re all in the same boat, we’re all contributing the same. But really, it’s no more real than saying “we” are fighting, when we (no quotes) are posting on a web page, not shooting, killing and being killed.

Thanks to the Canadians and others who are contributing something. But come on, if all of them refused to join us, we still would have gone to war, and I suspect the results would be no different.

Yes, treating any military deaths as victims (of the USA or the Taliban), only serves to steal their honor.

Which is what libs do best....and this effort/campaign against Fox News is built on another lie....that a host who has always been a patriot is somehow mocking deaths of warriors in the WOT.

When of course anyone who watches the clip, and knows the date of the clip and the article (taking a year off) that was the subject of the discussion, will know this is another manufactured lie for antiwar/leftwing propaganda.

They did the same thing to Rush, and many others, same playbook, old story.
