It sure did. I was sitting in civics class Friday, minding my own business, telling the joke about the Navy SEAL and the atheist professor, when, (ironic) my teacher, also a relative, starts talking about how four of his uncles were in WWII. So I finish the joke and pay rapt attenion. Well, lo and behold, some ***hole in the back of the room raises his hand and says,
"World War Two really wasn't our problem. Why the hell would we have gone there in the first place? We didn't accomplish anything and the war didn't serve any purpose."
Me, being the support-our-troops fanatic that I am, am seriously offended by this, as is the teacher. I swear the man almost broke down in tears. So, I stood up and said what equated to, "alright, moron, how would you like to live in a country where you can be pulled off the street and summarily executed? If you want to live under a repressive regime, I'll pay for your one way plane ticket to Iran, Bolivia, Cuba, or any Third world country of your choice- take your pick and close your mouth."
Did I handle this right?
