YouTube – How to lose friends and alienate countries.

I can’t put it any better than redditor, gcranston, puts it:

See, this is why Fox News can’t get a broadcast license in Canada.

I might also mention

1. War of 1812: Lit the White House on fire; American’s commemorate this in their National Anthem
2. Vimy Ridge: First time Canadian Troops under Canadian command; advanced so fast troops were ordered to halt because supplies couldn’t keep up. When asked how we took the untakeable position [so] quickly, Canadians respond with “No one told us it was impossible to do”
3. Passchedaele: Canadian troops inspire the original use of the term “Storm Troopers”
4. Dieppe: Canadian troops undertake practice invasion of the coast of France. Terrible loss of Canadian life. Lessons learned directly led to the successes at Normandy.
5. D-Day: Despite lessons learned from Dieppe, no beach head other than Juno – the Canadian Beach – was successful. American pilots actually bombed Canadian troops stating “no way are they that far inland; we’re still stuck on the beaches!”

I’d go on but I’m just too furious with this lack of respect for my country. I will only say that Canada is in Afghanistan cleaning up America’s mess, operating in the most dangerous part of the entire country. Maybe the reason Fox can’t remember Canadians are in Afghanistan is that THEY WERE DOING SO BADLY THERE THEY HAD TO START ANOTHER WAR WITH IRAQ TO DRAW PEOPLE’S ATTENTION AWAY?!?

Fox News, I say to you with with deep sincerity: Go Fuck Yourself.

I’ve watch some pretty disturbing things in my time. Curiosity got me to actually watch the beheading of a civilian by terrorists, it is something you can never “unsee” and from time to time I shudder just at the horror of it. I came across a very similar experience however this time it is by American soldiers. They enter a building, find a room with wounded people and as the photographer is filming a marine executes one laying on the floor. It’s not nearly as graphic at the beheading I saw but it shook me to the core the very same way. Reading the comments you see many ignorant people posting how the Marine is practically a hero for keeping the world safe from the scary Iraqi “terrorist” that is terrorising the world while laying on the floor bleeding to death.

It sickens me to see this kind of conduct by our allies and sickens me even worse that there are people that support the actions taken. How far we’ve regressed to actually allow this sort of behavior to continue. I urge you to watch this video, it’s not graphic, but it is disturbing.
