"Airstrikes and International Outrage" - more SMI

To illustrate the stupidity, let's play multiple choice.

 From CNN :

 "Despite airstrikes and international outrage against ISIS militants, the terror group is overrunning Iraqi forces and slowly marching on"



Chose which of the following BEST stops the ISIS militants:

 A> airstrikes and international outrage

B> airstrikes and media disapproval

C> airstrikes and BS from politicians

D> airstrikes and direct contact from Task Force @ss-Kicker
See, it really isn't that hard is it?

 To be clear, I'm NOT in favor of D, but that is the only valid answer.

I'm not sure if the folks at CCN grasp that they are parodying themselves by observing that "International Outrage" isn't stopping these killers.

What the media can't bring itself to do is to accept the obvious answer, because their real problem is that Americans are tired of fighting other peoples' wars.

 Most of us are more engaged on feeding our families and keeping a roof over our heads than expending thought on People A are killing People B. Again.

 The only thing that airstrikes accomplish are burning through older munitions, and getting the fly-boys a new campaign ribbon. Politically, it is like adding an artificial sweetener to KoolAid; it's supposed to give us "Feel Good" without the price of combat loss.

 Thing is, there is a price to be paid for "Feel Good". With artificial sweetener it is a blood sugar response just like you consumed real sugar, and with airstrikes comes real problems.

What Does #EWorHW Mean?

It is a tag, short hand for we can do this   " THE EASY WAY or the  HARD WAY " Common phrase, you hear it often in the military. Sometimes it refers to understanding the better technique, "the easy way". More often the phrase is a bit more menacing, it means the subject is going to do it, the ONLY question is which way is it going to be done. Thus, when we talk about Making America Great Again (#MAGA), the Easy Way or Hard Way (#EWorHW).

A Better Way .... Kill People and Break Things

Based on the well documented collapse of the US University system , one of the better (less bad) options is the "Trade School" approach. I say better, because if you end up with a globalist, police-the-world CIC, you run the risk they will get you or your classmates, or your men dead. Yes, I said Men. Like it or not, when it is time to do dangerous things, overwhelmingly, it will be the men who will bleed, be maimed, marred, or dead. Like others, before and after me, I choose to go to a Service Academy. We held up our hands, swore an oath, and gave years of our life doing sometimes dangerous things. Along the way, I got an engineering degree, and a big dose of life. We joked that it was trade school, because our "Trade" was going to far off lands and "Killing People and Breaking Things". That was before the elitists turned the military into  AWWW (Aid Workers With Weapons). As my own grandchildren grow, I'm not sure I recommend that path to them,...

Shock Therapy - the wisdom of Conan

Feeling suddenly afraid because Trump was elected? Is life triggering you? Uncontrollable tears and hysteria? Do you feel like your world is collapsing? Does #MAGA and #DrainTheSwamp make your mind reel? Take comfort in the fact that the strong, determined men millennia ago observed a mindset that struck fear and dread in women and weak men. This is not a new concept, hopefully that historical tidbit will help. As is often (falsely) said, don't worry, you are just going to feel some slight pressure. LOLZ You have to watch Arnold deliver it here Mongol General " This is good, but what is best in life?" Conan  " Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women." See, it is really simple, you have been lied to, you have been deceived, and now the light will shine into the darkness.
