caramida: (war)

[profile] name_redacted, I assume you've already heard this one. After Oklahoma City, the Armed Forces really tightened up their requirements for entry, specifically with an eye towards weeding out the white supremacists, and Christian extremists. Recently though, in the wake of increasing recruitment pressures, the Defense Department has apparently relaxed these restrictions. So basically, in order to fight the war against foreign terrorists, we're training our future domestic terrorists. So we're now seeing Aryan Nations graffiti in Baghdad, a predictable (although unintentioned) result of such policies. When these guys come home with weapons and explosives training, what other predictable results might we expect? Just another example of your administration making the world safe for from terrorists.

Well, there goes my good mood. 

Credit where credit is due:
