We should come up with an American War Prize.

It would be awarded to the service member that kills the most enemies, blows up lots of ‘stuff’, all while saving the lives of others(good guys) and civillians. A ‘Rambo award’ of sorts.

The winner gets a medal presented at the State of the Union address, $250,000,000 cash, and never pays taxes again for the rest of their life.

I’m truly shocked the Nobel’ers are awarding it to disidents. Something fishy here or should I just accept that they’ve suddenly got “religion”...

Egypt is just afraid that they are going to get attacked by Zionist sharks

Nobody I know would miss the “Nobel ceremony”, nor the “Nobel Peace Prize” - least of all the Chinese. But, maybe your Jimmy Carter and of course IRI’s Shirin Ebadi.
