Somebody decided to be cute and toss a little homemade bomb in an ammo can at the Times Square recruiting station very early this morning.
And it appears that this individual also had a philosophy, and felt the need to vent his (and we will, for the time being, assume it is a he) spleen in some little letters to several members of Congress.
There is a chance that this is a former servicemember, disgruntled at his recruiter, who had been told one too many times by sergeant to "write a letter to your congressman!"
But I somehow doubt that's the case.
It seems, from early reports, that perhaps the "bomber" had some issues with current US foreign policy.
The envelope also contained a packet of approximately 10 sheets of paper that seemed to be a political manifesto railing against the Iraq war and a booklet. The aide didn't know what the booklet was.
The letter was sent to at least eight congressional offices, FOX News has learned.
Isn't that a shocker? I am absolutely stunned.
The individual who sent the letters (and, it seems, dropped the bomb) was kind enough to include with it a picture.
The man was thin, white with graying hair, wearing a striped flannel shirt and jeans...
That reeks of hippie. Some addled, aging moonbat longing for the glory days of the late 60s and early 70s.
Nothing makes a potent political statement like damaging a facility manned by a bunch of mid-level NCOs. Yep, that's striking right at the heart of the Man.
Hint to these morons - it's an all-volunteer military, assholes. You got a problem with young men and women making their own career choices? 'Cause I thought hippies were all about people doing what they want to do.
I guess I just don't get it.
But a further hint to this sort of moron - the veterans of the wars we've got going on right now are, for the most part, real touchy about shit that goes BOOM. Get caught by any of them leaving little "explosive devices" around, and you're running a real good chance of receiving a first-class ass-beating. And that just-back-from-his-third-Iraq-tour recruiter would walk without so much as a wrist-slap.
Your Honor, I truly regret breaking both of that man's legs, one of his arms, and his jaw. But I just flashed back to Baghdad - he was planting an IED. I guess I just snapped.
EDIT TO ADD: Well, it appears that the letter-writer might be just another enthusiastic Democrat. How awkward. Police are now focusing on the possibility of a Canadian bomber. What's worse than violent hippies? Violent Canadian hippies.
