This stunning, hilarious, and politically incendiary full-color poster book by U.S. Airborne Ranger-turned-dissident-comic-book-artist Micah Wright reworks classic American World War I and II propaganda into biting commentaries on war and pariotism for the post-September 11 era.
Hilarious, timely, incisive First, yes he lied. Wake up, the author is just another reader, as is said in postmodernism. It doesn't matter whether Micah lied, or whether he is a murderous demon or another incarnation of Hitler. It's the book that matters. It's very funny and well taken. The followup book is decent as well, but round 3 is getting a little repetitive and uninspired.
It's all made up... fiction Those of you who are in the "don't shoot the messenger" camp, wake up! He made the whole thing up, he never served in the Rangers, and now has made up another book. He could have presented it as fiction, but he tried to pass it of as fact.
I don't take cooking tips from Jeffery Dahmer. I don't turn to Brittney Spears for parenting advice. I don't look to Dr. Phil on how to lose weight. I don't rely on George Bush for advice on how to govern. I don't turn to a Kennedy for driving lessons. I don't look to OJ Simpson for relationship advice. I don't look to Micah Wright for lessons on the military.
It's fiction, folks. And it's offensive to those who really served in the military to try to pass it off as fact, seeking to gain from their hard lives.
These made me laugh You know what? These posters made me laugh. I have posted them around my desk at work. They make statements with which I agree.
Lighten up, all of you reviewers who have written screeds about whether or not the author was an army ranger. Who cares?
Some people don't have enough to do, apparently.
A LIAR! A FILTHY HYPOCRIT! This guy Wright lied about being an army ranger, kinda like lying about one's air national guard service. how can these disgusting commies keep supporting this guy's work when he isn't even running for office (then it'd be okay).
I Don't Like The Message So I'm Attacking The Messenger! What Micah Ian Wright expected to gain from lying about being a ranger in Panama I don't know. All he's done is give people something to attack other than the actual book itself. Well done, chief.
Yes, Wright lied. He did a stupid thing. However his message is still valid. And most of the people giving it 1 star know it, which is why they didn't even mention it.
Don't trust reviews that attack the messenger over the message.
