Oh boy. I just watched a PBS documentary about the Mai Lai Massacre in Viet Nam in 1968. Nothing underscores the fog of war more than a failure of military intelligence that turns well intentioned American ground infantry like the burned out men of Charlie Company into a horror similar to SS in Russia in 1941. Sweet Jesus what a clusterfark.

Maybe all the friggin screaming imbeciles who are so rah-rah about military adventures should be compelled to watch this PBS documentary the next time we're debating sending Americans into war. Because they're all the same. Similar tragedies occur in every friggin stupid skull farked war. Women, babies and old men slaughtered by mistake. And after watching this, you do feel that it was a combination of military intelligence eff up and the madness of war. In the end you can't control war, it's madness that always runs amok. God help us war is so effing stupid and usually pointless.

Now you idiots can move this whole stupid effing thread to P&R. Knock yourselves out. Like I give a crap. Of course, I don't particularly feel anything I've written here is particularly debatable or controversial if you have brain cells between your friggin ears.
