Why Do Men Love War So Much? (Feminazi MEGA-BARF Alert!)

Dear Editors:

What a horrible article. Ms. Silver has raped the memory of the men who have given their lives for this country so she could spew her feminist vitriol in freedom. Ms. Silver must have never met an actual combat veteran; a man who spends months in the mud with no amentities; a man who spends weeks in a lifeboat after losing his ship; or a man who must jump from a burning plane. Ms. Silver must have never watched her best friend hold in his own intestines, or have three quarters of his skin burned away, or be tortured to death in some nameless POW camp. Ms. Silver must have never felt the fear of having to charge enemy fire.

Perhaps the author should make use of her oral history expertise and and speak with some real combat veterans in her area. Her notion that military men are all little boys with erections running around with their phallic guns might be dispelled. To characterize combat veterans in such a way is disgusting and abhorrent. It is one thing to disagree with a war and the leaders who perpetrate it. It is another matter entirely to characterize the men who pay for that war with their own blood as homo-erotic loons.

Shame on you for printing such garbage. Your newspaper denigrates the men who fought and died for this country.

Without respect,

Hey, the looting and pillaging ain't too bad either."

OUTLAW: Rape, murder, arson and rape.
HEDLEY LAMARR: You said rape twice.
OUTLAW: I like rape.

Awesome letter! I couldn't have done better myself.

I think it was Chiun, the Master of Sinanju, in the Remo Williams movie.

Choice quotes from Lani Silver:

"I am personally in a state of despair."

-AND-

"I'm very depressed."

She sounds like she's a candidate for Zoloft.

"It's a hogleg."

LOL!!!!

Thank you.

Ms. Silver:

Never have I read something so worthy . . . of being completely and utterly ignored. It must be an extraordinary little world you live in up in that ivory tower. I guess you didn't notice that the world is a dangerous place. I guess you missed that part where our country was viciously attacked resulting in thousands of deaths. Maybe you read about it? You know, the airplanes, the hijackers, the World Trade Center, the Pentagon? Ostensibly you were paying attention while all of that was going on, right?

Are you suggesting that we silly men shouldn't have a "hard on" for these murdering bastards now? Are you suggesting that we silly men should put our differences aside and trust that psychotic, megalomaniac, tyrranical, murderous dictators will not seek our utter destruction?

As you sit there in your tower, enjoying all of the freedoms that were paid for with the blood of us silly men, perhaps you could just give a tip of the hat and your sincerest thanks since you clearly have no idea what else to do.

Thank you,

You are correct, sir! I thought I was the only person who saw that movie, let alone remembers lines from it... :-)

Men are from Mars.

Wymyn are from that-hot-little-planet-that-orbits-its-star-every-29-hours.

The girly-man type become democrats! :-)

"I am personally in a state of despair."
"I'm very depressed."

Which is all you really need to know. To professional victims like Lani Silver, feelings trump logic, decency, reason, common sense, and any sort of realistic view of human history or nature. People like this believe the entire human race has to act as their own personal support group.

>>Why do men like war so much?<<

Because victory makes women open their legs.

Than Lani would "love" HilaRat! The good thing about femichicks is that they may breed but they do not reproduce. Darwin is right about some things.

Can you imagine the sort of man that someone like Ms. Silver would be attracted to (if she's attracted to men at all).

The guy would have to be a wimpering, simpering, ninny who would be challenged by lifting 35 lbs or climbing two flights of stairs.

[MikalM]

I live in Oakland (just south of Berserkley), so I've seen many women who think and talk exactly like this. The straight ones tend to go for men of two kinds:

1) The whimpering, simpering "sensitive New Age guys" you mentioned; or

2) The most brutal, Neanderthalian, d**k-led mouth-breathers imaginable. Which makes sense, as the whole Men=Killers attitude usually is a not-too-well-concealed rape/domination fantasy needing to be acted out in a relationship.

I've been a political activist for 34 years...apparently we haven't learned anything.

Not only have you not learned anything, you've blown your chance to have a normal family due to your crazy ideas while encouraging others likewise and dragging down our country.

Bet you wish you had been normal.

HOPE you sent that letter....

"Men need to see themselves as humans."

They do, you idiot. That's why they go to WAR...to beat the living &#&$^(&% out of those who would kill THEM. (And, to protect the weak, like YOU.)

[Bonaparte]

"I know, you want to yell out Indira Gandhi! Margaret Thatcher! Golda Meir! (Everyone gets so excited that they can name three women who fall into this war-mongering category. Can anyone name a fourth woman who belongs here?)"

This woman's ignorance surpasses belief. If asked (please don't), I could name a hundred women rulers who enthusiastically went to war. Elizabeth I comes to mind. Then there was Cleopatra, who went to war against her own brother's army, then went to war against Octavian as an ally of Antony. And who can forget Catherine the Great? Apparently, Lani Silver can, assuming she ever even heard of this war-mongering empress.

How about Artemisia, who allied her forces with Xerxes at Salamis simply because she detested the other side, not because she had to embroil herself in this conflict (see Herodotus). Zenobia, the "warrior queen" of the 3rd century AD had a lust for war that is well documented. In the 6th century AD, we have the exceptionally brutal and pugnacious Visigoth queen, Brunhilde, who started a war that dragged on for 40 years. There are soooo many more, and every last century is represented right up to the 20th C. The 16th and 17th centuries are simply littered with warring female rulers!

Now, why am I not surprised that the editors of the SF Examiner have no knowledge of history at all?
