Comment: Not content with the "fight them over there to keep us safe here" BS, President Obama recently tried to cover up the fact that US soldiers are used as cannon fodder to line the pockets of the political and corporate elite by suggesting they were like "Santa in fatigues" for deploying abroad to kill innocent civilians at Christmas time.


Monday, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey, during an address to the troops, President Obama made a joke that they are like "'Santa in Fatigues," which was received with complete silence, prompting the president to nervously name-drop the military aircraft C-130 to evoke a response.

President Obama said, "We are free and safe and secure over here because you are willing to serve over there," adding "You never stop serving, you never stop giving, you guys are like Santa in fatigues. Although I bet one of those C-130's is a little more efficient then Santa's sleigh."
