The image is basically some (probably) Israeli fuckers saying that killing seven people, including two children is fine because REVENGE FOR GILAD SHALIT  And yeah, I knew that dude but not his picture. And ahaha, holy poo poo, like those fuckers need justification at this point? Can't they just talk about their long and rich history of killing Palestinians?  Two people have reposted this on facebook. Unrelated too. Only one linked some crazy documentary though. This things.

Nope, I'm planning on either voting blank, or drawing cocks all over the ballot. There's no credible option in the portuguese left. I don't oppose action at all, it's just that paralyzing the country to throw rocks at people isn't the most effective way to do it - maybe if you hit someone who is actually responsible for the situation we're in?  I have to thank Kojima for MGS:Peace Walker, it motivated me to read up on US intervention in South/Central America. Killing Hope is an amazing book

I wonder how long it will be before the Army needs to redesign its dress uniforms so that generals can still fit all their medal stripes into that space.

I never found out fully why but some of it was because he pretty anti war as his dad died in WW1 and so had to work at the age of 8 to keep food on the table for his family. Aswell as the awful things he saw thought what had happened and the deaths, noone should have been awarded for surviving blood baths. [He was in the Airforce but did see alot of action and ground level stuff  ] Burma Star posted:The Burma Star was a campaign medal of the British Commonwealth, awarded for service in World War II.  Africa Star posted:The Star was awarded for a minimum of one day service in an operational area of North Africa between 10 June 1940 and 12 May 1943. The whole of the area between the Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar is included, together with Malta, Abyssinia, Kenya, the Sudan, both Somalilands and Eritrea. The areas not bordering the Mediterranean only qualified for the Africa Star from 10 June 1940 to 27 November 1941.  1939–45 Star posted:The 1939–45 Star was a campaign medal of the British Commonwealth, awarded for service in the Second World War. The medal was awarded for operational service between 3 September 1939 and 2 September 1945. He also hated the hijacking of the remembrance day and the red poppy that made it nationalistic and forget the whole meaning of it. He saw it as anti war.
