What the hell, some G.I. Joe!

[seriousfic]

So the Joes are in South America to do something involving a coup. This being G.I. Joe, Cobra, Destro, a fruit company cartel, and other sinister forces are at work. But in the midst of all that, our boys pay a visit to the embassy.







Happy Memorial Day everyone, and remember to check for angry gun-wielding soldiers before you do any flag-burning.

"There's a big difference between Inside and Outside when it comes to an embassy, of course. But is that your only response? That if they had been burning the flag on the street outside it would be A-Okay, but since they're inside the building it's wrong?"

Maybe because they're rioters who are attacking an American Embassy, and not merely protesters? The fact that they have no legal or moral right to be there?

What about that is so hard to understand? That guy is on American territory, destroying/threatening American property. While I wouldn't condone Roadblock actually shooting him, he is acting illegally and immorally. Destruction of other people's property is not a valid form of protest (for civilians and only for governments in time of war). It's not that complicated a stance.
