Making Progress

Get Your War On (MNFTIU) is frequently funny, occasionally published comic that’s featured on earthli several times. Every once in a while, they pack a serious wallop into a short rant, as in the following comic:

The quote is repeated in text form below, ‘cause it just makes me laugh:

“Sorry—after three years in Iraq, I don’t get excited by the word “progress”. That’s some bullshit. Maybe I’d be excited by progress if we had only spent, like, two million dollars, or if we had a bunch of fifth-graders over there running the place for a fucking science fair or some shit. Then maybe I’d feel grateful for any ol’ bit of good news that happened to drop out of the sky. But after all the money and time and bullshit we’ve burned through, I’m supposed to be thrilled for any moment we’re not ruining Iraq? Ha! Fuck that and fuck “progress”—where’s “done”?”

Anyone with obnoxious war-hawk friends should memorize this rant and rattle it off when necessary.
