FOX abuses dead Canadian soldiers. Canadians at least honor their dead, unlike Americans.
I know FOX pays its people to be shocking,
and I know its often BEYOND THE PALE,
but I wanted to point out this time that the Canadians are doing two things right that FOX is not noticing:
- they aren’t going to keep up a war that they cannot afford, which means they will be stronger than us because their equipment will actually WORK and they won’t be trillions of dollars in debt.
- they honor their dead. they have ‘Repatriation Ceremonies’ for their dead soldiers where the family gets honored by the government for their sacrifice. DO WE DO THAT? No, under GWB, we hid the dead bodies. We even sent out DEAR JOHN DOE letters to our dead soldier’s families… which I found out about by reading an Aussie Blog, www.rubenerdshow.com.
The Canadian government has demanded an apology from Fox News for “despicable” and “disgusting” comments made on one of its late-night programs.
The government was incensed by a recent talk-show segment on the American conservative cable network that poked fun at Canada and the Canadian military.
A group of pundits took turns trashing Canada and its reliability as an ally in fighting terrorism last week as four more Canadian soldiers were killed in separate attacks in Afghanistan.
Defence Minister Peter MacKay requested an apology just before leaving for Canadian Forces Base Trenton, where he was to attend a repatriation ceremony with the families of the latest soldiers killed.
“It’s crass, it’s insensitive, it’s in fact disgusting, given the timing,” Mr. MacKay told CTV News.
“There should be an apology — to the families in particular, and to the Canadian Forces and to Canada generally — given the sacrifice and the commitment that we’ve demonstrated in Afghanistan.”
SERIOUSLY, in Canada, crowds of HUNDREDS gather to honor their returning war dead.
Wake up, FOX, you are not patriots.
I’d make the easy cracks about the loser guys sitting around with hair gel and the requisite blond, but that’s not hte point. The point is, as long as these guys have an audience and FOX pays them, we are BEHIND Canada in our abilities and competence, and in our so-called ‘American Values’.
