Hopefully not yet. Find out where he hails from and take out the entire village, town, or city and put a pig sty on top of it.

I know. I am so glad my military service is many years in the rear view mirror. Now if I can just live long enough to see this administration in the same mirror.

Some of us, probably 10% at the most, are awake and aware of this threat. The other 90% never will. Not even as their throats are being cut.

Our warriors should get the F out of their today. And the yes-men-brass in the pentagon need their last paycheck before for their new street life. This loss of life is insane. Religon of peace is a lot of crap?

Hmmm. I wonder if our troops are even allowed to carry weapons over there, being Obama’s “good war” and all.
