Your “clear” language has certainly eliminated any chance of confusion as to your meaning. Congrats.

Wow CoJ, you've got spunk! I admire that...
Best post I've seen today!

Yes, but far too many fired vaguely in the direction of the enemy rather than lining up their sights on a human being and dispatching them.
Almost nobody is mentally prepared for war - especially the low down dirty chemical and trench warfare of WWI.
But I find that the minimum one should be able to expect of your troops is that they actually fire AT the enemy - not just vaguely in the direction of the enemy.
Luckily I think that isn't much of a problem for our troops anymore. We raise young people with trained hand eye coordination, a good grasp of tactics and strategic thinking, and who have an ingrained habit of lining up a human shaped target and firing on target.
I remember a story of a Soviet General during the Cold War given a tour of a US shopping mall. Upon hearing electronic beeps and such he asked about what was going on. “Just kid stuff, you wouldn't be interested” he was told. Well being a suspicious Soviet - he honed in on that an INSISTED he be shown. He saw a Video Game Arcade! His immediate conclusion was that “Americans are training their young in computer assisted warfare!” - but then he heard the sound of a quarter falling into the machine and realized it wasn't a conspiracy to raise a generation of warriors - it was a conspiracy to separate suburban kids form their quarters!!!!
He defected. :)

I guess his publicist gave him an ass-whipping.

For sure - Herpes can kill.
To: Cowgirl of Justice
I stand corrected - thank you for the information. Bennett’s still a POS though.
To: Cowgirl of Justice
Okay, but seriously, how do you really feel?

Boy, did I love their music, seriously. Great vocals and great accompaniments. But as soon as that lead singer moron opened her pathetic chubby mouth, everything changed for me.
YEP! At the time, I was working with a Kuwaiti-born, Palestinian friend who asked, "Doesn't she have the right to free speech?" To wit, I replied, "Yes, just like I have the right to never buy another album." And I never have; I even discarded the one that I already owned. I was SO glad that they stopped getting air-play as well! They deserve all the ridicule which they brought upon themselves!
When companies post their political preferences, they can expect public outcry against them; and there is NOTHING wrong with that! But, for some reason, these entertainment maroons simply think they are exempt from ridicule and spite! Either they believe their own press-notices, they believe the MSM-touted "public love," or they think they are above reproach! I am glad that the American people are finally showing these idiots that they are NOT untouchable!

Went 60 years into his career without doing something as stupid as to have an opinion.
He’s one of my very favorites. Now I know him as a pacifist, which is to say a coward who lives at the expense of those brave enough to defend him when he won’t defend himself (or his family).

The comments @ ABC are largely supportive of Bennett’s original position and very anti-USA. Sad.

I don’t think it is all Germans who “are at your throat or at your FEET” but all of those types of people who want your stuff without expending effort in useful work.

The first time I saw a dead German, thats when I became a pacifist, he said.Would he have been a pacifist had it been a dead Jew at Buchenwald, instead?

Your posts, most succinct and erudite, said exactly what I’ve been thinking.
Plus, it made me laugh and my daughter laughed and so, amazingly, did my husband.
