Wow. The more I think about this, the more this picture you linked to encapsulates the fundamental issue with liberal “support” of the military.
Liberals only “support” the military for three reasons:
1.) As a political tool
2.) A jobs and social engineering program
3.) To gain money for industries in their district (and this, only grudgingly since they would rather see the money spent on “comically useless social programs”.)
Their contempt for the military shines through in the example. But to those of us who pay attention, this is typical.
They can’t be bothered to report accurately. They will call a B-52 a “fighter”. They refer to a frigate as a “battleship”. They call Marines “soldiers”. They cannot even get the nomenclature of units right, which would cost them nothing more than an easily placed phone call to a military media liaison to do so.
What it really tells military people (and I have begun to use that term rather loosely when referring to current and ex-military who support liberals) is that liberals don’t give a rat’s ass about the military. If they did, they would understand that these seemingly minor details are important to the military community.
It isn’t too hard to picture the horn-rimmed glasses wearing, ear-pierced metro/homosexual stereotype proudly displaying the images he planned to show at the DNC being told by a shocked military supporter that the images were not of American units, but from those of their potential enemies.
It is easy to envision the dismissive response of “That isn’t important. People don’t know the difference, and besides, these are much more impressive than any pictures I could find of our own military.”
Equally creepy about this picture is the “Thank You” signs. Like every single thing liberals do, this has the stink of groupthink. You get the impression that not one person in that entire picture could possibly care about the military, yet...they were issued identical “Thank You” signs handed out by the same people who despise the military, and they willingly hold them up.
They readily will do something they might find distasteful, disagreeable and ideologically repulsive because it will suit their political purposes, a bizarre form of taqiyya for kafirs.
