That's called "The Memory Hole".

We take all the illegality and corruption and horrific violence and torture and wars and media manipulation/intimidation and petty dictator shit and stuff it down the Memory Hole. Then we get to pretend

NSFWThis shit

Wasn't such a big deal after all.

    Jesus Christ.

    I very well remember seeing the censored version of that image... this is the first time I've seen it uncensored.

    I've seen uncensored pics from the highway of death, other graphic shit that made it onto the early days of liveleak... but there ya go, memory hole in action.

    the only pass they get is that at least they fought the nazis one time. even though they now claim all the credit, and took them forever to join the fight, and had a strong faction that wanted to join the nazis, and it was American racism that inspired nazism, and nazis are now cool in America...

    Yeah but at least it was a scandal. That asshole, and a bunch of others, went to jail, even if it wasn't long enough. If it happened today they'd either never be charged or pardoned and that asshole would be the Secretary of Defense.
