*with excellence.
I am currently a journalist with a local, independent publishing company. I have a college degree, as well as a hell of a good shot. To be dead honest with you, my idols are Hemingway, and Hunter Stockton Thompson. I have no desire to kill people, but will upone request. I am just sick of this war, and would like to fight in this christian jihad of a war that we now call GWOT. I am very educated on this issue, as well as how the drug trade plays into the golden chain and taliban operations in afghanistan and iraq. I know we will be in Iran soon, then after that, North Korea. If you would like me to kill people we don’t agree with upon my will, please hire me to do your dirty work. Please give me a chance if you would like….I like the fact that we hire contract killers to blast 3rd world countries to smithirenes. To be dead honest with you again; I have always wanted to die on a battlefield under the service of the United States. I have had family fight in every major war in the united states history. The fact is, is that I have gotten older and do not believe in religion anymore. I dare one of your recruiters to try and enlist me in this christian jihad, in which we fight many unknown enemies. If you can sell me, I will go to basic training and off anyone that stands in the way of “freedom.” hoho. fuck ye gods, let’s get to it. Enjoy yourselves….I would;ve voted for Bobby Kennedy If I was old enough, but of course Nixon insured that I wasn’t. I hope you enjoy your “war of terror,” and please call me when you need someone who really gives a shit. Go fuck yourselves….let me kill something!
