CAMP PENDLETON, CA – A pair of former Marines have launched a Kickstarter project to raise enough money for them to travel back to Iraq and retake the city of Fallujah in time for the ten-year anniversary of the battle.

“Hi, I’m Austin Jenkins and this is Joe Wood. We’re Marines, and this is our Kickstarter fund to send us back to Iraq to go f$%@ some s@$% up,” begins the now-famous video pitch featuring the two Iraq War veterans. They are seeking $1300 to fly them one-way from the U.S. to Jordan, where they intend to cross the Iraqi border in order to “make it rain.”

Start with the White House and Congress, then maybe go to Iraq.

I’d like to know how they are going to buy two Model 82A1 Barrett Sniper Rifles for $2500?

Amen. Let’s start cleaning things up by expelling everyone in Congress who has violated their oath of office!

Utterly ridiculous. You’ll need at least seven Marines and one A-10.

Hey, whoa, wait a minute. Kickstarters usually have milestones. If I put them over their first goal I want a sack of severed heads. BTT

Who wants to join up with me to retake ‘Nam? Of course, I’m 67 damn years old and probably wouldn’t be much good.

Right now, Saigon has more capitalists than Washington, DC.

At least in the businesses.

The Government offices probably have the same percentage of socialists/communists in each city.

“We paid for that city and we’re keeping it! It’d be like if we just gave Iwo Jima back to the Japanese.””

Yes, I think the article might be satirical.

It’s those bastards in the North we’d have to take. South Vietnam has seemed free for some time now. By appearances anyway.

(Why are commies always in the North?)
