" Don't want to be an American idiot/ don't want a nation under the new media/ can you hear the sound of hysteria?/ the subliminal mind 'bleep' America./... Maybe I'm the faggot, America/ I'm not part of a redneck agenda/ everybody do the propaganda/ and sing along to the edge of paranoia/ .../ don't wanna be an American idiot/ in a nation controlled by the media/information age of hysteria/ is going out to idiot America." -- Green Day

A year or so ago, there was a ship. The ship was almost a pioneer. It had incredibly thick armor and other such weapons. It cost billions. One day, some terrorists bought a rubber raft at Wal-Mart or somewhere. They set out towards the ship with fifty pounds of C4. When it exploded, the ship wasn't sunk, but getting there. So a young sailor got on his mounted machine gun and prepared to fire at a second raft. His commanding officer told him to stand down! I mean, what if they were selling pita bread? What if they were tourists who wanted a picture with the crew? (If you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic.)Also, most of the sailors guns weren't even loaded! If we're fighting a war with guns that don't fire, I don't know what this world is coming to.
