Introduction

Well, here it is. My blog. Its been a looooong time since Ive had one of these, so i guess we'll see how it turns out. Truth be told, to all those readers out there, this blog has been created as an ongoing assignment for my Poli Sci 129 class, "Blogs, Politics, and the Media."

Now, lets start off with the basics:

Name: (43795537)
Age: 22
Hometown: Riverside, CA
School: University of California; Irvine
Major: Biological Sciences
Year: Graduating Senior (YES, Finally!!!)

As you can tell, just like most open forums, this blog is going to be themed to address things involving the United States that piss me off. This is just fine for me, because im an angry bastard to begin with. Now, dont get me wrong, I love being an American... but... could we have grouped together any more stupid people?

Example... Check out this article from CNN's website about the Walter Reed Medical Center.


This is a prime example of the bullshit that happens in the states that jsut pisses me off. Good people get sucked into the Armed Forces, get sold on benefits like the G.I. bill and whatnot, in exchange for putting their lives on the line and how do these noble men and women get repaid? With absolute shit.

Now, im not going to lie... im probably the most misinformed person that i know, but i hope taht im right some of the time when i go off and rant. From my understanding, as a member of the Armed Forces, you pretty much have all of your health expenses covered by the government, you have the G.I. bill to support yourself, and lots of other "cool perks" like the $1 down payment on your house/car etc. to make your live easier in exchange for serving your country. Pretty sweet deal right? "... ... ... ... NOT" From what ive been hearing form my buddies that serve in teh Marines, thats not the case. And this article confirms at least part of it.

The U.S. spends unfathomable amounts of money on new military technology (weapons) so that they can blow shit up, and hang people (or get their own people to do it) but they cant, and seems like they won't take care of their injured soldiers.

Check out what "Jack," the former Army Secretary said, "The American ethic is that America always takes care of its wounded...We must make certain that America continues that ethic."

...Get with it "Jack," open your eyes, this clearly is not the case... The U.S. government, especially George (Mr. Average ["C" Student] President) wouldn't think twice about spending BILLIONS of dollars on waging war overseas, but has to go to his advisors to determine how much money needs to be cut from the budget as wounded soldiers are just coming home.

Pentagon + George W. Bush = Stupid + Selfish
