Sorry we talked about it in class today so I had to bring it up.
I bought that up sort of in our discussion. I pointed out that basically the whole video is encouraging anti-war leftist hippies to ask their members of congress to sent US troops in to a war. I wondered how many would support it if instead of donating a couple dollars and putting up a poster it asked them to put on a uniform and go in to the jungle and kill this SOB.
One girl objected saying they are not "troops" but "advisers". I corrected her that "advisers" means the Army Green Berets and the professor educated her about the experiences of US advisers in another jungle not so long ago.
I mentioned these anti-war leftist hippies don't have any idea what it means to actually go out and "bring justice" to someone like this. They are not going to slap some cuffs on him and read Miranda. Folks like the "Dark Forces" of the CIA are going to have to go out and do some nasty things to track him down then the Ugandan army backed up by our guys are going to fight their way through those 30,000 child soldiers and "terminate with extreme prejudice".
I also wondered how the Afghan war would be "sold" if portrayed like this. Considering just some of the nastiness that Taliban have done, and the focus on the unjust nature of our side portrayed by some who support this 2012 movement.
