Do you know what Muslims call their children?
Unexploded ordinances.
No, we don't need to study terrorists, we need to give them the dirt nap.
BUZZZZ!! Oh, I'm sorry, that's the wrong answer. Thanks for playing, the Moderators have some lovely parting gifts for you at the stage door!
Oh, but Mr. Moderator, leave this one around a while - the Cats are hungry...
And, you are totally wrong!
Muslim terrorists must be tracked down and killed, not negotiated with in any sense.
Oh wait, xyxyxy's gone... Nevermind.
Wow. that was fast. Do the Mods ever sleep??
“You attacked us in Somalia"
Wrong. I was a gunner for the lead LAV-25 that escorted the first FOOD convoy into Badera. Our mission was to get aid through to starving people - food trucks that your militia was raiding. We had to provide military escort to a humanitarian releif effort because of you animals.
Come out of your cave Osama. Lets have a chat.
Might want to find some cover, I think there is a storm brewing
I have been lucky enough to travel around the world both as an American tourist and American soldier. Some insights I have picked up along the way:
I can honestly say, most of the world loves America and Americans. Even the French. They admire our "can do attitude," our eternal optimism, our individual independence and our absolute fearlessness in taking on "city hall" and the powers in charge. They are also very grateful for our generosity. Americans are by far the most friendliest and giving people (individual and collectively) on the face of the planet. I could present statistic after statistic, but just ask any bartender or waitress in any remote town of any third world country who would they like as customers, and they will reply "Americans."
Our enemies, who I have also met and talked with, believe this optimism and generosity are a weakness. They feel that any country foolish enough to try to help other people (instead of crushing them) or permits dissenting points of view is weak. They feel our wealth (ironically made by extremely hard work) has made us soft and unwilling to fight very hard.
Our course, they do not know our military history and ignore our fighting traditions and legends. They do not understand that Americans do not really want to make war and want nothing to do with conquering the planet (too much paperwork). We would rather stay home with our families, enjoy life and go to work. But if we must fight, then we go all out; that we will kill our enemies as fast and as a numerously as humanly possible, that we will bring relentless devastation and carnage to our adversaries and not stop until they are either dead or have surrendered. We want to get the miserable job of war done as fast, efficiently and as brutally as possible so that we can go home.
Our enemies look at our military as the strength of machines. They feel if we did not have our wonderful helicopters, F-16’s, Abrams Tanks, aircraft carriers, etc. that our soldiers would melt away. However, it is a rare event when an American soldier surrenders, even against overwhelming odds. The American soldier has slugged it out toe-to-toe with every enemy we have ever faced (even after all the wonder machines have broken down) and have always emerged the victor. This warrior spirit has been proven in regular army units, special op units and militia/National Guard units. It is not something that is taught, it is just always understood; that the soldiers of liberty and freedom will always defeat the soldiers of dictators and tyrants no matter what.
The men and women of the American Armed Forces understand that Freedom is not free. It has been purchased with a terrible price. American soldiers have suffered, bled and died under horrific conditions in dreadful places all across this hard world. Unlike most armies, Americans have put themselves in harm's way willingly. They fight not for treasure, glory or power but for an idea; that essential Liberty "shall not perish from the earth" as long as I can do something about it.
We should never take our liberty for granted. Since the dawn of humanity, tyrants have and will always try to gather more power by enslaving others. There is only one thing that they fear; when a free people look them in the eye and proclaim, "This we will defend."
Pig pile on the troll
In the infamous words of modern American youth....."WHATEVER".......now if you will excuse me, I need to go clean my BushMaster.
Nuke Mecca.
The Nazi had children too. They lost over 25 million dead, no more Nazi in Germany. The only way to have peace is to destroy your enemy, total utter destruction.
