The Amazon product page for Maisto International Inc. ’s example Predator drones has been inundated with snarky parody reviews mocking the replica , obviously as a means of “ protest ” the political science ’s controversial pattern of targeted drone strikes . But rather than deter potential customers , the shrill whimper of impotent hippy rage has accomplished precisely the opposite — Amazon can barely keep them in blood .
Thesix - inch die - cast model , which retails for a whopping $ 50 , has drawn the wrath of groups such as Change.org and Facebook - establish Question Your Government . variety is presently aspire for the lowest - hang fruit it can discover by petitioning the model Jehovah to discontinue the drone crinkle . The postulation reads in part , I snitch you not , “ I will not bribe this shameful toy dog , nor teach tyke to detest . There is no nimbus in execution . ”
What a loading of pietistic , pedantic dogshit . First off , kids do n’t need anybody ’s help figuring out how to detest ; the vicious little bastards will fain deign upon one another like starved hyenas the second they so much as spirit weakness . Second , there ’s plenty of aureole in murder , it ’s the entire motivation behind suicide bombing — you do n’t get 72 virgins for just offing yourself . Moreover , the ceremonious definition of murder that Change is hold the US armed forces up to , the one used in civilian courts , is n’t even applicable to military surgical procedure — our armed forces operate under the separate Uniform Code of Military Justice . This petition accomplishes just slightly less than the“Football Pledge ” Pink was expected to sign .
But fine , let ’s don I ’m totally off - base here and the American public rally behind recalling every trailer currently deployed overseas — from thePuma AEto theHarvester — then what ? Do we spend another couple billion dollars to redeploy our forces back to Afghanistan , put bang on the priming , and American soldiers back in the dividing line of fire ? Or do we ignore atrocities send by the Taliban like , I dunno , twice - solicit little girls in the pass for exact an didactics , and desire that disgruntled fundamentalists do n’t present another attack on US land ?
