Cabron!!

Go to this site only if you are ready for a massive case of the ass:

From "The Daily Collegian" - "New England's Largest College Daily" - consider the source. A real oxygen thief and maricon.

Rebel intelectual wannabe, who, not actually knowing or experiancing anything in life, is using his right (won by people who he is berating) to spew his ill informed, bad mannered, ungreatful mind onto paper, since in real life he risks being laughed at and ( I wish) being bitch slapped.
He reminds me of kids high on drugs suddenly coming to an epiphany that they understand and have a solution to everything. Oh well, a dime a dozen, there is plenty of them out there, and nothing to get too riled about. (Me not being a US service man and/or fellow Ranger)

p.s.
He is obviously jealous that he does not feel the brotherhood of patriotic Americans. As well as probably not being included in "frat" brotherhoods or parties....

In South Africa we would say "shame", as in we feel sorry for him because of his ... personality etc..

Anyway...

At least they're not all bad. There's still hope.

I went to ZooMass for 3 semesters before this type drove me out

It's the most useless area in Massachusetts, and that's saying a LOT

Aside from the thesis, which boils my blood, this guy can't argue. He makes the mistake of thinking that heroes (as opposed to casualties) are created by the war they fight in. If anyone dies for their country, they are heroes... be it in a humanitarian aid effort, a World War against evil, or a purely corporate effort to secure resources- they died not for the war, but for their country.

Furthermore, this idiot fails to recognize that wars do not have to be fought on home turf for them to effect our homeland- an AQ filled Astan or a Saddam controlled Iraq both pose threats to US stability. It's the US govts. responsibility to its people to attempt to secure and maintain a better standard of living- they don't have to be fighting against foreign invasion to do it.

Following on from this point, of COURSE the Afghani resistance is legitimate. People can resist all they want- but it's not MORE legitimate than our right to security and stability.

JMO,

I suspect that he is hiding under his bed, hoping that the long line of people wanting to express their opinions to him up close and personally goes away.

Were his comments not hate speech against military personnel?

I just don't think he gets it, like many products of the liberal college system. So, yeah, I think he hates the military... but out of stupidity, not genuine reasoning.

The fallout continues

I'm liking Mr Wilson a lot

Quote:
UMass president Jack Wilson issued a statement saying Rene Gonzalez's comments in The Daily Collegian "are a disgusting, arrogant and intellectually immature attack on a human being who died in service to his country."

What do you guys expect from a male, not man, with a woman's name?

This story is now on the front page of espn.com. Unbelievable that this bitch is getting so much attention for being such a moron. She does not deserve the celebrity, whether negative or not.

You guys are going about this all wrong. We have to all enroll at these colleges and change them from the inside! I am starting a recruiting drive for UMASS now!
