Angry in Seattle

My angry moment of the weekend: The sight of an aging hippie in a VW van (of course) with signs in the window saying "Support the Quartermaster Mutiny".

Now, details have yet to come to light on exactly what went down, but it seems pretty clear to me that one should never support mutiny. Refusing an illegal order is not mutiny. Refusing a stupid, senseless order that will hurt your cause might have a little moral authority behind it.

Refusing an order our of pure concern for your own safety is cowardice in the face of the enemy, and you should be shot for it.

This guy might as well have had a sign saying "Support rape and murder", or "Hug a Child Molester today."

Stupid fucker.
