Disgusting freeper propaganda video
This video is oozing with bullshit and the freepers where this was posted went into a frenzy.

"Propagandalicious:" http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=THE-PRIDE-OF-AMERICA

"Duh! *drools* USA! USA! USA!" http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13463772

When I first saw it I asked myself how is that video any different from those extremist islamic videos that you see from time to time?

1. Glorification of Violence
A second major tenet or characteristic of all Fascist movements was the glorification of war and violence. Half–measures and compromises, Mosse notes, were anathema to all Fascists; these were typical of the craven bourgeoisie, Fascists held, not of the virile Fascist "new man." For Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, for example, a true National Socialist would willingly carry out a scorched–earth policy or ruthlessly gun down deserters. Mussolini at one desperate point even threatened to execute schoolchildren who skipped classes. Fascists stressed the greatness of dying for the cause in war, the dignity of a mad heroism, and a willingness to struggle against all odds.

2. Uh, no,
it's exactly like an extremist Islamic recruiting video. But we're the "good guys", so it's not "really" the same.

I think it's so funny how people are so impressed that our military, the most advanced in history A) defeated some guys in sandals, driving Toyota pickup trucks and shooting old Russian rifles in Afghanistan; and B) beat the Iraqi "army", where thousands deserted, they didn't have an air force, they barely had tanks and rifles. And it amazes me that the US forces are scared of their own shadows. They seem to shoot anything that moves. I am just not impressed by our two latest victories.

(I hope I haven't offended anyone.)

4. 140 years ago It was Native Americans
After Custer got his at the Little Big Horn, Americans were calling for the elimination of Indigenous people. When you see the bombs dropping I wonder how many people were dying at that moment.
