I just watched this 'viral video' of United States troops stationed in Afghanistan doing an interpretive 'tribute' to Beyonce And Lady Gaga's hit song "Telephone." It made me feel a lot of different emotions:
- I felt proud of America, because we invented webcams and vlog youtube video technology. Al Gore invented the internet, and without it, we couldn't have international meme sensations like Susan Boyle, William Hung, and Larry Gaggah.
- I felt scared for our country's safety, like these military bros should be 'protecting us' or possibly searching for Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
- I felt angry at the military for wasting our tax dollars while our troops 'bullshitted around making viral videos.'
- I felt angry at Osama Bin Laden and terrorism for waging a new kind of war that has no immediate end.
- I felt happy again about viral videos, distracting me from the troubles of the modern world, giving me an escape from this 'mad world' [via Donnie Darko]
Sorta wonder if troops deserve to have 'free time.' I am the biggest post-patriot in the world, accepting the beauty in the breakdown of the American Military, but I feel worried that our troops are sending the wrong messages to our enemies. Like when troops go abroad, they aren't actually 'doing anything'--they are just sorta like a group of tweens huddled around a Macbook.

Why do u think this video 'went viral'? Do you think it made Middle Americans 'relieved' to see troops who are under stress take some time out to have fun? Do you think tweens could have done a better job with video editing technology + choreography?
Maybe mainstreamers are in2 this video because the image of soldiers are 'straight men', but these soldiers are acting all fruity. Wonder if it is funny 2 laugh at homosexual stuff.
Do u feel more 'outraged' when u see American troops making viral videos, or American troops torturing prisoners of war?
Is the US Military 'swirling down the shitter'?
Are we wasting money on telecommunication technology for troops?
Who would win in a war: the US, China, Russia, Europe, or the Iran [via nuclear weapons]?
Are terrorists gonna watch our viral videos and think we are chill bros who just wanna bro down and make youtube content?
Do u support America?
Will we ever catch Osaddam Bin Laden?
Does Colin Powell need to 'regulate' and ban troops from making viral videos with tax payer money?
