Dang it if this isn't one of the best rants I've heard in a while!
<<< .. I mean, there you have an all-American boy who's basically spent all his life in his native boonies, who's been brainwashed with the idiot-box all the while, who's been a dutiful churchgoer, who really believed that Uncle Sam was that great sugar-daddy-turned-Santa-Claus who'd never send his "beloved boys" on a sleazy mission.... who suddenly finds himself thrown down in the spotlight! Face-to-face with those ugly, barbaric coons who molested, raped, and ransacked the brave Kuwaiti --good heavens!
However, as days, weeks, and months pass, GI Tim's worldview evolves, changes and, somehow, gets subversively altered by his first-hand experience in the field.... Officer Timothy McVeigh might have come back alive from the Gulf War, yet, his ideological loyalty's been killed. His"third-kind" encounter with Middle-East aliens irremediably shattered him. He felt betrayed by the politicos, by the mainstream media's phoney reports, by his fellow countrymen's cretinous political awareness, and even by the reverend's bugaboo preaching.... ``I went over there hyped up, just like everyone else.... What I experienced, though, was an entirely different ballgame."
An entirely different ballgame indeed! Henceforth, McVeigh realized that everything he's been told back in his cloud-cuckoo land was actually a whole'nother ballgame. Eventually, the anticlimax was too much for McVeigh to stick it. The rest is history.... >>>
