I had no idea the ranks of our military veterans included such skilled purveyors of snark. My appreciation for our men and women in uniform has now increased tenfold.
There's an awesome article about Weinstein v. the religious nutjobs in the military in Harper's Magazine. Thank the dinosaurs that someone is fighting the "earth is 5,ooo y.o. nutjobs, iraq war is taking jesus to the heathens" freaks.
@Muggs Bigglesworth: Agreed, but seriously, isn't the clarification that it's the letter that you found awesome, a little redundant/unnecessary?
Yes, it is, because:
A.) Anyone who found the cartoon to be awesome, would have certainly misspelled awesome, or used a word with fewer syllables.
AND,
B.) Likely might have gone with entirely different commentary altogether, more along the lines of 'Burn the books!... NOT THE BIBLE dum ass!!!... them brainwashin' books 'em Jew-boy-teachers make them hippie-scum-college-kids read!!!, for example.
@Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: Well, "one" (what, "one" person??... meaning you?), may "feel" any way that one wishes, I suppose. FYI, however, if you go and look at the comment of mine that immediately preceded (and inspired?) your comment above, you may or may not be observant enough to have noticed that... the only "point" anyone's "missed" around these parts is the one on your LSAT score
Then, we introduce my kid to this guy, which was just sad.
@andyrobertson: Urgh, we have University Entrance where I come from, rather than whatever that is an acronym for, and we also tend not to resort to such lameness when insulting those that criticise us.
I prefer "Never wrestle with a pig-you get dirty and the pig likes it." It explains a lot about flaming right-wing trolls on the Intertubular Superhighway.
George Washington to the head of Touro Synagogue(1790):
"May the children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. May the father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy.
Well, I mean, c'mon. Everyone knows Jews piss on the Constitution constantly by trying to prevent evangelical retards from taking over the military and turning it into Jesus camp. I mean, that shit's in the preamble.

Also if he's looking away from his stream and leering at us instead, wouldn't that affect his aim?

As a member of this tribe, I should point out that our noses are engorged with booze carbuncles.
