Some of What's Wrong With America

So, I was checking out some of my little sister's MySpace friends and found a young Marine (24) who is stationed in Cuba. He has a blog entry that states, in part,
"I have already started saying "mon" after everything. Where I work is
very good. Good people all around. It is nice being back in a radio
station so I can listen to all the new music. I missed that a lot while in
Illinois. I am getting myself all trained up on the shit down here and I
am sort of my own boss so I don't have to worry too much on that. But if
something goes bad it's on my ass to make sure I can fix. Sort of
fun. Well that's my update of love from Gitmo. If you'd like to send
me stuff (a letter would rock) just hit me up with an email and I'll give you my
addy. I do hope everyone is doing just grand and I hope to hear from some
of you guys. Warmest wishes from my tropical paradise in a communist
country..."

to which one of his friends replied:
Hey Toney do you get to beat up prisoners in your spare time? That would
be awsome!
Hope all is well. If you ever get close to Castro ask him
what the secret to a long life is. He has been around forever! Take
it easy, Kyle (emphasis mine)

Jesus christ. What the hell kind of people do we have in our world these days. "Do you get to beat up......." Maybe that person would like to serve some time in Iraq.

I guess along with so many other things we are losing our humanity too.

I hope to god that comment was a put-on.

"Dude, did you see my bitchin' torture tools? Totally rad!"

Sounded like her friend was having at least a halfway decent time of it. Somebody might as well get something out of this farce!

hmmmmm.... communist cuba or fascist america? and while castro's speeches can tend to be a bit on the loooong side, at least he's articulate.

This has to have been a Chimpleton. They love torture, as long as they can stay a safe distance from ay side-effects of torture (like prosecutions, or angry insurgents.)

Dead on, In america we view people we are against as sub human almost. We also generalize. If one muslim attacked america the rest of them must want to as well. The comment about beating up prisoners really hurt me in my heart.

POP, we have Republican thugs. Or should we say Nazi/KKK/Stalinists?

This is quite a find. I have a hard time understanding how anyone can be so hateful.

Ditto what Dusty said.

I have to go pick my jaw up off the floor now.
