Why most Veterans don't give a Sh!t about the Middle-East

We veterans continue to become a smaller minority, but I have yet to find one that feels there is a decent, much less compelling reason to send anyone else to bleed or die in the Middle-East.

Cernovich pegs it, the globalists want to pick a fight.

Call it cold-hearted, selfish, or just the wisdom of having followed orders, done what could be done to bring everyone back, and the abiding sense of the incompetence of our leaders. Don't ask us to start a fight if you aren't going to allow us to finish it, and don't ask us to take ground if we aren't going to occupy and keep it.

The thought of picking a fight with Russia over dirt that means nothing to us is idiocy in the extreme. Just like we don't care about Trump's behavior or indiscretions, we don't care about other peoples' dirt. Most of bought into the "Greater Good" at some level when we were young and foolish, but no more.

I can't say what those who are in will do, but I'll guarantee you that the public is close to the breaking point over sending our troops down-range for other peoples' fights. To quote Vox, "Stop digging."

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.

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).

We are at WAR

It is simply acknowledging the existing"state of armed conflict between ... groups within a nation". We productives, veterans, traditionalists from all walks of life have been relentless attacked for years. Because it has been a low-intensity conflict, most of us were more occupied with just living our lives, and the various skirmishes we shrugged off because we had more important things for our time and attention. Man, I'm getting too old for this Sh!t At various point in the last two years, millions of us woke up, which our enemies will forever regret. Different triggers; hateful pejorative labels, flippant slanders, attempted shaming, all aimed at making us kneel, bow down to our enemies. For people who follow a God, or veterans who are trained to bear up under duress and refuse to be be broken, that was a tactical blunder of epic proportions. You pissed us off and got our attention.

General "Mad Dog" Mattis

Let the man speak for himself. A few of my personal favorites, which should inform our operations as well. Just your average, fun-loving Marine 2. “The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.” 3. “I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.”
