LiveJournal 3/26/2003 –

As I was reading Salon an idea crossed my mind, as it has for the past few days and especially when I hear about war coverage on the news. That the Coalition forces are SO awesomely advanced and powerful that we can’t seem to keep our enthusiasm for killing in check and that we may have killed more of our own accidentally than any Iraqi can? Of course not, in an age of advanced information technology it’s unthinkable that a Patriot Missile Battery would be obliterated by a United States bombing plane only after the Patriot system targeted the US plane first, or that two British tanks would attempt to destroy one another because they thought they both were facing the enemy.

I’ve got images of Redcoats and Hessians running around Yorktown with their underwear on the outside of their trousers while the American Colonist Rabble stab themselves with bayonets mounted improperly.

We are a nation of idiots, but a well armed bunch of idiots we are! 🙂
