Sign of The Times
Back in Winchester I saw two Hummers with “Support Our Troops” stickers on the back. Something about that makes we just want to bitch-slap the driver. I can respect a 55 mpg Toyota Prius owner telling me to support the troops, but a 9mpg Hummer owner? Get real.
To make matters worse it turns out these stickers aren’t even stickers they are magnets. That way they won’t damage the finish and can be easily removed once supporting the troops is no longer fashionable.
The gas-guzzling Hummer with a “Support Our Troops” magnet on the back. I can’t think of a more apt metaphor for America’s view of the Iraq war.
