10th Mountain and Second of the Two (and second to none) BUMPAll we need to do is break out a few WWII vintage flame-throwers and attack them from the West. They'll all die face down with their feet facing that black rock they worship while being cremated.

"The Pentagon must change its policy of not showing " the killing of the enemy" and start releasing videos and footage of us annihilating the enemy."
Presidents start wars and then try to keep the blood and guts of war from the American civilians. To show an attack by American troops on an enemy where we obliterate them would be announced by the MSM as an unecessary slaughter, too much force was used, the enemy wasn't given a chance to surrender, on and on.
If we showed our troops who were killed or wounded in the same newscast as a balance, then the White House is afraid that Moms and wives wouldn't permit their sons and husbands to even join the military.
Then the women would have an honest picture of just what the men endure on a combat mission and that would be just too frightening for them, or so the politicians who have difficulty with the truth themselves seem to think.
No, it's much calmer and more controlled to show a man who is being released from the hospital with just one leg and a smile on his face than the terror in his eyes and what is seen when that leg was first blown off.
Heaven forbid the public would see a medic taking care of a wounded soldier when a wounded native child is laying across the street with similar injuries.
The risks the soldiers take to protect each other and kill the enemy are horrendous, gory and vicious. Every soldier comes home with visions that they wish had remained on the battlefield.
The last thing a man wants his mother or wife to see is for him suffering while he's pinned down by crossfire. A man dying in pain isn't what we want our American women and kids to see on TV unless it comes from Hollywood. In our society, war is just to ugly for the non engaged public to see.
I don't think there will be any media changes in the Pentagon, no Sir, I don't.
I just changed tag lines.
By the numbers and day by day.
Thanks for the heads-up!
Bump!
Well said, Jeff Head!
bttt
If I ain't on yer ping list I should be.
I wish I wasn't too old to go kill these people.
If they were not cowards they would come here openly and fight.
One thing that I have learned is that muslims are cowards and will not fight man to man.
Cowards one and all.
Grrrrrrrr
Kudos, Jeff! Thanks for the ping!
I graduated high school in the late '70's so there was no urge to join. Trained Soldiers were being RIF'ed
Kerry was lying to congress and we saw nothing but bad on the TV.
I am too old to join, but the muslims should be on notice that those that served are bad-ass and those that haven't served are armed, ready and dangerous too.
My wife an kids are trained to shoot and do not own a drop of hesitation.
God's speed to the 10th Mountain!
Fergot to ping you.
Give it time....with the current status of our nations border the target rich environment will come to "you".....kind'a like hunting from a deer stand at some point I spose !
Stay safe Mr Eaker !
They will find that a curved sword is a fool's tool on American soil.
Thanks for all that you do!
I'm not supposed to tell but he tests the new vests.
If he lives he gets to work the next day!
They said that mannequins were too expensive.

(Now he has to kill me)
Bookmarked for later response.
