    WHAT HE SAID: “You kill people and break things for a living. You are not politically correct and don’t necessarily belong always in polite society.”

    The reason we stopped doing that was lessons learned in blood…

    All it does is create more people willing to die if it kills any of us.

    But that’s what they want, they want a never ending war against terrorists, even if they have to manufacture it themselves.

        Die overseas and they pay a one time 100k payout…

        Come back with a bunch of injuries and the government can pay over a million over decades. Not even getting into college and other benefits.

        They don’t want veterans, they want dead soldiers. Because dead soldiers motivate their friends and family to join out of a list for revenge. Not many people with friends/family who are disabled vets sign up.

        The days of military families are mostly over these days.

    I’m sure all those generals loved having to travel from all over the world to be lectured by some inexperienced reservist captain who visibly never grew past the young impressionable officer stage.

      A violent reaction is what they want in order to justify escalation. Your reaction is the expected and anticipated one. It is the incorrect one. We are fighting back, it doesn’t happen over night.

        You’ll be fighting back the way Russians and China did. You know, by getting swept away and disappeared. They’ve already shored up too much power.
