American FUBAR
The disgraceful events in Charlottesville, Virginia prove to me that love is a stronger force than hate. It may not seem so by watching the cable news networks, and it may not seem so by studying President Trump’s reactions and matching them up with the White House staff and advisors he has surrounded himself with, and the confusion therein. And it may not seem so by listening to all the reactions across the political spectrum.
But 32-year-old Heather Heyer lost her life there and that is the only thing we should focus on to bring the sobering truth of this lunacy home.
All the idiots with the helmets and clubs and flags and symbols went home safe. But Heather, who was hesitant to go to the “rally” in the first place, did not return to her safe home. Instead, she will never return home again. She’ll never again be able to express her opinion of love and justice.
FUBAR is a military term meaning Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition. It’s commonly used when frustration sets in, particularly in the lower ranks, regarding how things are going when the chain of command or administration foul things up beyond all recognition with incompetence, egomania, power and rank.
One of the best illustrations of a FUBAR situation is portrayed in a scene from the film “Saving Private Ryan‘ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwvFNtWP0Ag
America seems to be a country without a strong leader with the correct measure of a command presence. There seems to be no truth in Donald Trump's heart or integrity in his soul. He seems not to have a brain in his head. Or maybe he got that “Abi Normal” brain. He’s not the kind of man you’d want your kids to grow up like.
