[net.politics] El Salvador sarcastic flaming

ryl (04/30/83)

>From the latest issue of National Lampoon:


   "Hello, my name is Private Cristobal Esquina of the
Salvadoran army, and I just threw $8,550 worth of
hand grenades at a dog."

   But it could have been an enemy soldier--how was
Private Esquina to know?  He's just a confused, completely
unmotivated peasant with an attention span of about
five minutes who has never held anything in his hand more
valuable than a dirt clod, and if we want Private Esquina
to fight our wars for us, then there's no reason to complain
when he uses up $60,000,000 worth of ordnance every three months.
