Where were we?

I see the mods put this back on the sidebar.

Thanks for that. I've posted pretty much the same over time..

But hey, my opinion means naught. I'm (apparently) just an insane military hating leftist.

Deuteronomy 2-34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain

Deuteronomy 3-6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city

Doubt we'll ever find out about those Wheaties though.

I just realized I got his name wrong. Until as a nation we recognize war for what it is supposed to be and treat it with the seriousness and commitment it requires, good soldiers, Marines, airmen, and sailors, will die in wars our leaders we elected lack the will to win. This must end. It's a disgrace when our leaders are willing to do almost anything for an enemy nation's people which we are at war with and our soldiers are treated like criminals in the process. The legal persecutions through prosecutions of our own deployed service members should have been stopped at the level of either Sec of Defense or CIC. That is what Presidential Executive Orders are supposed to be used for.

It is for reasons like this I believe POTUS should be required to go before congress and ask for a formal written Declaration of War giving reason and clear military objectives. This can be done in a matter of hours now. Most of congress is living an hours drive or less away even when out of session. There is no excuse not to require it to deploy into war overseas. Make POTUS and congress give cause and commit themselves too it. Last thing we should withdraw completely from all Geneva Convention Treaties. War is hell. It's time we started fighting it as such or stay home.
