The Champ and the Chimp


brilliant caption and commentary by Rising Hegemony
"Can no one, no one, point out the supreme, metaphysical, irony of this picture?! The man who became legend for not fighting in, and indeed opposing, an unjust war is, nearly forty years later, awarded a "Medal of Freedom" by a guy whose base -- to the extent they remember -- called for this same guy to be tried as a traitor? And let's not even get into the fact that they refused to fight in that same war, and now praise themselves as the ultimate patriots, while starting wars they keep themselves and their kids from fighting in!

Not to mention that nearly four decades later, the guy doing the "inverse Rope-a-Dope" has started that latest unjust, trumped up, fucked-up war?"
