i hate using this as fallback, because wine simply lubricates the umbrage, it doesnt *create* outrageous statements, but yes i was quite in the red that night. i also swore i'd finish my portfolio that night too, which is impossible, and i was actually helpful in the main forum

but eh, i stand by it in a curmudgeonly way. cant pretend i actually respect POWs to begin with just because they "went through" things. if i did i'd be lying and playing politics. they were stuck in the shittiest situation imaginable and now that it's done he gets to exploit it as an election stump and receives multiple "get out of gaffe free" cards. fuck him, i'll make fun of it all day then. he also basically got peer pressured into saying that torture is okay now. okay i shouldnt speculate too hard about why he'd endorse treatment put upon him but is this war hero crap not 97% opportunism at this point? i'm not taking it seriously anymore because i dont think he is.
