For those who are in the military, or who have served, the Duffleblog is an enjoyable satire site that rivals the Onion in how good they are, but for the military culture. Some of their articles won't be understandable if you haven't served but here is one that would work for everyone and really is just a factual report of reality.

World Begs U.S. For Military Force In Syria To Bitch About It

NEW YORK — World leaders met at the United Nations today to beg the United States to use military force to stem the ever-growing humanitarian disaster in Syria, knowing full well they will then turn around and blame the US shortly thereafter.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said, “We call upon the world’s greatest nation — the United States — to help bring peace to this terrible civil war, because, **** it, none of us want to.”
 
Schanberg pointed to the fact the “Blame America First” strategy hasn’t always mired America in pointless tribal conflicts.

“We thought we had a real winner with the whole ‘Stop Kony’ campaign, and even the whole ‘Bring Back Our Girls’ thing. But the US just responded with a whole bunch of Twitter hashtags,” Schanberg said.

“Which just goes to show you, for Obama, black lives just don’t matter, I guess.”

Yeah it used to be satire. Now because it's so realistic it's just sad.
