We are convinced that no modern problem has a military solution, and that applies to the Iranian nuclear programme as well,” said Mr Lavrov.

“Starting in the Sixties, the Left began to deny the Reality Principle, leading to a kind of mass neurosis.”
This is something that I have noticed - those on the left seem to think that fervently wishing something was true will make it so - that you can change reality by pretending it isn’t what it is. The world may not be the way that I’d prefer it was, either, but I know that wishing it was won’t make it so.
“Back in the Sixties,” sighs an ex-hippie lady I know, “everybody was happy. Really. Everybody.”
“The Sixties, as such didn’t start untill between 1967 and 1968, and were dead dead dead before the end of 1971.
The Sixties are a few fleeting moments hyped to no end.

General, Yes Ma’am, Sherman needs to read Unrestricted Warfare. A brief course through Sun Tzu and Von Clausewitz might also help.

The General is boomer himself. He was born Nov. 7, 1952. He graduated from West Point in 1974, so he graduated from high school in 1970. Definition of the baby boomer years vary, but all definitions seem to go up to birth years of at least 1955, the most common is 1945-1964. Roughly corresponding to those born to the WW-II generation, with the peak years being right about the time General Petraeus was born. Sometimes the boomers are divided into two Cohorts, basically '45-'54 and 55-64.
The general is also a Vietnam era veteran, although the US ground involvement was pretty much over by the time he was commissioned, as it was when I was commissioned a year earlier. Although I'm three years older, he high school at 17 and I took 5 years to graduate college, so I was commissioned only one year before him. Of course that makes me, and my wife, Boomers as well. Just not red diaper doper baby Boomers.
I’m not too keen on dying myself, but it’s gotta be terrifying for a person with lefty(non-existent)values!
You ain’t gotta be a lefty to be skeered to die.
I would hate to leave my family.....other than that I will try to cowboy up.
i’ve faced it a few times already and I’m happy as a convict on furlough in a whorehouse right now so I can’t say I’d be overjoyed to get notice anytime soon that I’m dining in Hell tonight
but I sure ain’t no lefty...
Kill babies-Kill the elderly-kill the infirmed but don’t let me die. The new slogan of the boomers.
Except for the victims of Charles Manson's "Family."
Sorry, but this sort of cozy analysis will never dismiss Boomers, it just makes them more annoying. Their vile, persistent, prionic organism is merely flattered. The whole topic should have been cauterized by 1972.
Smash the mirror, change the subject.
I’d rate this article tremendously high on both directness of truth and ease of comprehension. I’ve not read this author before, I may have to look him up.
The left boomers are pathetic....great article...
