Two things that have always been at the forefront of my mind even before 9/11. The photos and videos of muslim men cutting their own children's heads in some barbaric ritual.
Plus, I remember a journalist going to various muslim communities and watching their teachers preach to young children, death by any means to all infidels. The children would cheer. The journalist interviewed one kid about 12 years old, and he said he was going to join the jihad within the year to kill and slaughter. I think the name of the documentary was, "The Children of Gaza". She arrived with good intentions...she left completely disgusted.
My point? Carpet bomb Gaza. Very sorry for collateral damage, but this is truly war. Think Dresdan, Hamburg, Tokyo, and of course Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Thousands of innocents killed who would have preferred to go on with their little peasant lives. Sorry, too many support these evil barbaric factions.
And if not for Biteme, I believe President Trump would be having talks right now about tactical nukes and strategic nukes on Iran. This may not even have happened if Trump were in charge. I doubt Putin would have marched on the Ukraine.
Last thought: My biggest pisser is that after we killed the Nazis, Facists, and Imperial Japan, we spent untold tax dollars to re build them and THEN gave their countries back to them. What ever happened to the spoils of war? The USA could have made Germany, Italy, and Japan territories of America. Hell, we could have owned Viet Nam if Johnson and McNamara hadn't micromanaged that war and let our military napalm them into non-existence.
Iraq was a waste simply because the entire world thought Saddam had WMD. Yeah, he used chemical weapons on his own people in the past, but the big worry was nuclear. He had NO capabilities of that kind.
I won't ever start on Aftganiscrap for 20 years. I'm so ashamed of the pathetic pull out from Biteme. He claims it was a success, so I guess I should disbelieve my lying eyes on the real-time cluster of hundreds of people running across the Kabul runways and clutching on aircraft and falling to their deaths. And then there are the 13 Marines trying guard the gates that were blown up by the suicide bomber.
I NEVER want to see our boys, men, women go into another pointless battle for the sake of some tribal civil war or Ukraine or any other conflict where we have no real national security interests. I say nuke them all, just to be sure.
“What ever happened to the spoils of war?”
We saw how much trouble it caused for the British and decided we’d rather avoid that.
