it gets more and more difficult day by day to not tell them they're barely better than animals. What else could someone who revels in war be? CompanyFirstSergeant put it best a few days back-- actual soldiers, actual warriors, they don't revel in the demise of their enemies. Yet they try to justify Iraq. They try to justify Afghanistan. They try to justify Syria. They try to justify Libya. They try to justify "We came, we saw, he died" and a laugh, knowing full fucking well what the rebels we backed did to Qaddafi when he was dragged into the street. I'm not saying he wasn't a reprehensible human being. But it doesn't matter what you've done short of raping children, you don't deserve a bayonet in the ass.

These people simultaneously terrify and disgust me. Their eagerness for war terrifies me. The fact that they'd sacrifice the servicemen and women who bravely stepped up, recited the oath, all to satiate their bloodlust-- without enlisting themselves-- that's what fucking disgusts me.

And the fact that the Democratic Party has fallen this far just kills my faith in humanity at large.
