In today's delicate situation with "The War on Terror" every person who speaks without the requisite American twang or stops on a train to tie a shoo lace is shot on site with no questions asked. With people being arrested and detained for months on end due to "suspected conspiracy" it seems unfair that other figures were not punished as harshly. Take for example a certain character called Colonel John Matrix (pictured). John was a retired Austrian born US Commando who helped the US Government get rid of a south American dictator and replace him with a "democratically elected" president. Sound familiar?.....However the "evil" dictator kidnapped Johns lovely "Potential-hot-honey-back then" daughter Alyssa Milano. This does not sit well with John who declares war on basically everything and everyone and with true Austrian wit and charm begins his campaign of terror on a biblical scale.This is where I have a small problem with the US attitude, apparently it is ok for an immigrant to wage war on South America when he feels like it and not be held accountable for a death toll that one would expect only from the Apocalypse. Take for example Johns legendary rampage at the residence of the evil dictator. This scene of unparalleled carnage lasts for about 4 minutes and 10 seconds and John guns down on average about 3-4 people every second. This works out at a death toll of somewhere around 960 men.........In 4 minutes...That's fucking genocide. A little excessive couldn't we say? Was it really necessary?
Even the angel of death himself would have trouble matching that and Lucifer would not even go there. But is Mr Matrix tried for war crimes?? No. If his rampage had continued - and it would have, he is Austrian- then he could have killed about 345,600 people every 24 hours until his mission was accomplished. This would be genocide on a scale the modern world had never witnessed. We can only thank the lord that he found his daughter as soon as he did. But still, he is allowed to return into the US without facing any kind of disciplinary action. Enjoying the full protection of the US government, he happily returned home to finish cutting some wood after erasing about 1/8 of the South American population. Further, Child Youth and Family didn't even step in to take away his daughter which is strange when you consider the amount of people he murdered before he even left America. A single parent who kills people and then jokes about it with lines like "let off some steam Bennett" and "I had to let him go" surely should have at least raised some questions. Technically shouldn't John Matrix have been hung for his crimes? Well that is America for you Land of the free and home of the brave.....and psychotic.
