Americans in general have no idea how these past decades have corrupted the military and DoD.

And it all started when Truman would not let MacArthur win the war in Korea.

[antidisestablishment]

Or Patton take on the Soviets. Lol

[jpsb]

I think we had something like 20 divisions in Europe at the end of the war. Counting our allies there might have been 40 divisions in all. The Russians had 200 divisions. Starting a war with Russia in 1945 was not a good idea. Could we have beaten them? Yes we had the bomb but it would have been a very ugly win.

Korea on the other hand was very winable. All Truman had to do was let MacArthur run things. MacArthur wanted to use Chan Ki Sheck (sp) to threaten an invasion of China. Thereby freezing Chinese troops in place across the Formosa straights. But that idiot Truman would not allow The General to do his thing instead Truman send the 7th Fleet to the Formosa straight to ensure Chan Ki Sheck did not invade. Now where do you think all those Chinese troops went? Yup Korea. Truman was a military fool. FDR would have let MacArthur win.

“... then you are being played for a fool by our nation’s most implacable and devious enemies, both foreign and domestic.” We are fools to believe these men like Gen. Betrayus have core value beyond greed and their pride. That’s why the taqiyya works so well, without core values magic thinking substitutes for seeing reality.

The US Parks Dept. is more concerned the color of their caps is offensive to non-citizens.

[Cicero]

Since it’s an Arabic word, there are numerous ways to spell it in English. “Hejira” is a more usual spelling.

Travis Mcgee's essay

"Capsule summary of Islam, and why it’s unreformable":

ISLAM

Islam is similar to a self-replicating supercomputer virus. It is a hydra-headed monster, designed by its creators to be an unstoppable formula for global conquest. It’s almost impossible to eradicate, because it has no central brain or control center. - Islam is like a starfish: when you cut off a limb, another grows to replace it. - The names of the Muslim leaders, and the names of their Islamic groups, are transitory and ultimately unimportant. Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are succeeded by Al-Baghdadi and the Islamic State, but they will all pass from the scene and be replaced by others. While Muslim leaders and regimes have come and gone, Islam itself has remained steadfastly at war with the non-Muslim world for 1,400 years.

Islam does not recognize secular national boundaries. To devout Muslims, there are only two significant realms of the world. First is the Dar al-Islam—the House of Islam, which is the land of the believers. The other is the Dar al-Harb—the House of War, which must be made Islamic by any means, including violent jihad. The expansion of Islam is sometimes held in check for long periods, but more often Islam is on the march, acquiring new territory. Once conquered by Islam, territory is rarely taken back, Spain being a notable exception.

The Muslim world produces almost no books or new inventions. - Short of finding oil under their feet, most Islamic nations are backward and impoverished. So wherein lies the power source for Islam’s nearly constant expansion over the past fourteen centuries? The motor and the battery of Islam are the Koran and the Hadith, or sayings of Mohammed. A messianic Mahdi, Caliph or Ayatollah with sufficient charisma can accelerate Islam’s pace of conquest, but individual men are not the driving force.

Secular “Muslim in name only” strongmen from Saddam Hussein to Muamar Qadafi can hold Islamism in check for a period with brutal methods, but strongmen are often assassinated or otherwise removed from power, and in any event, they cannot live forever. Once the secular strongmen are gone, fanatical mullahs are able to stir their zealous Muslim followers into sufficient ardor to reinstall a radical Islamist regime under Sharia Law, according to the Koran.

This pattern of secular strongmen being followed by fanatical Islamist leaders has recurred many times over the past millennia and longer. Do not be fooled by modernists like King Abdullah of Jordan. To the true believer of Islam, any king or strongman is never more than a rifle shot or grenade toss away from being kinetically deposed, and replaced by another Islamist fanatic.

The persistent virulence of Mohammed’s 7th Century plan for global domination means that it is always ready to erupt in a fresh outbreak. Islam is like a brushfire or ringworm infection: it is dead and barren within the ring, but flares up where it parasitically feeds off the healthy non-Islamic societies around it. What produces this uniquely fanatical motivation, from within nations and peoples that otherwise seem devoid of energy and new ideas?

The motivation lies within the words of the Koran and Hadith. Most simply distilled, in the earthly realm, these Islamic texts offer immoral men sanction for thrill-killing, looting, raping, and capturing infidel slaves, and when these jihadists are killed, they are promised a perpetual orgy with seventy-two nubile virgin slave girls in Mohammed’s sick, evil and perverted Muslim paradise.

Unlike the Jewish and Christian Bibles, the Koran and Hadith appeal not to man’s better angels, but to the darkest aspects of human nature. (Tellingly, Moses and Jesus are said to have climbed to mountaintops to communicate with their God, while Mohammed received his messages from Allah deep inside a bat cave.)

A meaningful or permanent reformation of Islam is impossible, because a new generation of fanatics, wielding the unexpurgated Koran and Hadith as their weapons, will always declare the reformists to be apostates and murder them. In Islam, the fanatics who are holding the unalterable Koran in one hand and a sword in the other always stand ready to seize complete power and exterminate their enemies.

This latent danger breeds fear and causes nearly all non-Muslims to be carefully circumspect in their dealings with Muslims, lest they lose their heads at a later date. This intentionally fostered fear of Islam is used as a cudgel against those who would otherwise resist its domination. The immutable Koran is the constant fountainhead of bloody Islamic conquest. Radical Islam is the pure Islam, the Koranic Islam, the real Islam.

Anyone who does not understand this bitter reality is dangerously ignorant of the past 1,400 years of human history.

The Holy Bible predicts that Persia will destroy Mecca and a few other cities with Arabia.

I suspect that quite a few Muslims living within the U.S.A. will convert to Christianity after the former happens.

[antidisestablishment]

My post was rather tongue-in-cheek, but, I’ll grant your point in particular. Our political history is pretty horrid when it comes to military decisions. The only possibility that would be worse would be to have military control.

While we have had a few exceptional military men, the majority of the perfumed princes at the Pentagon make most politicians look competent—our current crop a perfect example. Our proud military history is not just besmirched by these bastards, but denigrated as evil. These traitors can’t tell Shiite from Saint, or even shaft from socket.

[antidisestablishment]

I don’t think competition is allowed in the ranks today. Everyone gets a prize—except for those who remain honest.

Alahwahoo Waxbar!

You need to add abrogation.

[Travis McGee]

I had about fifteen words on the list, but winnowed it down for narrative flow.

[Excellence]

Too many people are letting their guard down because of the “peaceful verses” of the Quran. Those verses have been abrogated, but too free people know it.

[Travis McGee]

Abrogation would require an entire separate article. I didn’t even explain takfir, just used it, but that’s another can of worms also. T

[Excellence]

Well, I hope you are able to get to it before our first amendment is abrogated by UN res.16/18 and the Cairo declaration on human rights article 24 & 25. Abrogation isn’t only about Qur’anic verses.

[rodguy911]

Brilliant stuff here thanks for the ping.The problem is all this will be forgotten in ten days.

[bayouranger]

Hummus BooBoo will not be pleased w/your comment, Kafir!

[Travis McGee]

The can pass laws, but they can’t completely crush freedom as long as we’re not disarmed.

I can read the Bill of Rights. I don’t care if all nine Supremes someday order me to stop writing, disarm, or even to convert to Islam in the name of some new U.N. treaty or whatnot.

They can say the sky is green and order me to repeat it, I won’t.
