Jobs for Terrorists?

There are certain things that will provoke anyone to write, and this is one of them.

When you read this, I should caution that is a real quote from a real Team Obama representative, and not something from the Onion or other satirical content.

"We're killing a lot of them, and we're going to keep killing more of them. ... But we cannot win this war by killing them," department spokeswoman Marie Harf said on MSNBC's "Hardball." "We need ... to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it's lack of opportunity for jobs, whether --" 

 That's correct readers, give them jobs, and the beheadings will cease!

Could YOU say that with a straight face?


Allow me to hasten to add, this is not America's problem, and not America's fight. Neo-Cons can now have their sh!t fit.

If any of the @sshats ever attempt something here, then give our Warriors an UNLIMITED hunting to license to find, fix, kill or capture ANYWHERE they flee. No mercy, no quarter. Throughout most of human history this has been known that enemies of a nation should have no refuge, it is only recently that we have allowed magical thinking to dictate military tactics. Mark my words, this will end in disaster.

We don't need to go kill random bad people in foreign lands; and we most assuredly don't to go do international social work.

There is no question that these folks are terrorists; they purposely butcher and target non-combatants. The issue is fundamentally they aren't [currently] our problem.

We should fundamentally object to re-entering a now splintered Iraq with ground forces to take ground that we have taken more than once, and the locals can't, or worse, won't hold.

There is no doubt that our Warriors can take any objective, fulfill almost any rational mission, but that is a lethally foolish errand for our blood and treasure. There is no reason to pay that price, AGAIN, if the locals are not going to hold it and build on it. Not to mention it isn't our land and it isn't our fight. Americans have far better ways to expend their blood and their treasure.

So you are welcome to have your fits, but the facts remain.

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.
