Does the WikiLeaks video released this week, showing U.S. Blackhawk helicopter crew members boasting and congratulating each other as they gun down unarmed journalists and children, reveal that U.S. military personnel take glee in killing?
Well, if it doesn’t, these bumper stickers spotted on the Cherry Point and Camp Lejeune Marine bases in North Carolina–and posted on the right-wing blog One Man’s Thoughts–will help anyone with doubts round out the picture. If you don’t live near an armed forces base or socialize with soldiers, this is the noble and morally conscious military culture you’re missing out on:
“Waterboarding Is Out So Kill Them All!”
“Interrogators Can’t Waterboard Dead Guys”
“U.S. Marines–Travel Agents to Allah”
“When in Doubt, Empty the Magazine”
“The Marine Corps–When It Absolutely, Positively Has to Be Destroyed Overnight”
“Marines–Providing Enemies of America an Opportunity to Die for their Country Since 1775”
“Happiness Is a Belt-Fed Weapon”
“Artillery Brings Dignity to What Would Otherwise Be Just a Vulgar Brawl”
“A Dead Enemy Is a Peaceful Enemy–Blessed Be the Peacemakers”
“Marine Sniper–You Can Run, But You’ll Just Die Tired!”
“What Do I Feel When I Kill a Terrorist? A Little Recoil”
Let me be clear: I know people who serve in the U.S. military. I admire their resolve, their courage, and their sense of duty. They do not have stickers like this on their vehicles.
