You are aware that you are speaking glibly in response to a thread discussing an incident which, if any non-government employee Freeper were to engage in such behavior, would result in said Freeper being labeled as a terrorist, aren’t you?
The point of the quote is to prompt unthinking men and women to consider what they are supporting in the name of “fighting terrorism”-—lest pigs take for themselves puppies and release them trained attack dogs, a la Animal Farm.
Ah, so.
By that analogy the Vietnam War was really no big deal, since about as many Americans died each year while it was going on in traffic accidents as died in the entire conflict.
Most people recognize that intentional enemy action is qualitatively different from mishaps and accidents, regardless of quantitative similarities.
If that is not the case, why be upset about the Pearl Harbor attack? Only about 2500 Americans died, less than died in December of 41 on American highways.
