YANKEES GO HOME!!!!


Now that the rape case involving U.S. Marines in Subic has become sensational, it is time to paint the words, "YANKEES GO HOME!!!!" over the very familiar slogan," Gloria Resign." Yup. The ugly and arrogant American has reared his head his head again on our shores. The behavior of certain U.S. embassy officials and local bureaucrats the case only lend credence to the fear that the rapists will not only get off lightly, they will go scot-free.
I remember reading a post-9/11 article about an American asking why they are so hated abroad. The answer lies in their government's excesses abroad. From Abu Gabraib to Guantanamo to Afghanistan, the Americans have left a trail of human rights abuses on prisoners, not to mention racking a horrendous cost in "collateral damage," euphemism for civilian casualties in its foreign military misadventures.
I hope that these officials will see that coddling the suspects will only darken Uncle Sam's reputation abroad. The jarheads are only sullying the honor of their brothers-in-arms dying in Iraq, Afghanistan and other top secret battlefields. They are a disgrace to the U.S. Marine Corps and to all decent Americans.
What would they do if six Filipino soldiers on training, say, in Fort Bragg, Georgia rape an American prostitute? They would throw everything at them, the kitchen sink included, and send them to death row. This is exactly what the Filipinos want their officials to do. Justice!!!!
