Meanwhile in Iraq & Syria

Or "Afghanistan, part deux", a multi-$trillion fiasco the taxpayer has no clue why we're still there.

Why are we still there?

America needs to stick with "hit and run" here, it's viable to knock IS down a few pegs, degrade and supress them, but "stability ops" and patrolling a "buffer zone", no thanks, that's called "sitting ducks".

Nah, it means big profit for their buddies in Blackwater/Xe/Academi/whatever-they-are-this-year, Halliburton, etc, while soaking the taxpayers for it all as "essential to US interests".

Nah, the MIC makes money no matter what, you don't need to patrol a buffer zone and conduct stability ops to prop up the national jobs program and spread pork in the districts, in fact, the profiteers make more money if you dont, but rather just stick to big ticket items like submarines and aircraft carriers to fight the Soviets who are no more.

I'm all about submarine & aircraft carriers (American built) as Jobs Programs, but I agree, patrols in far off lands has no value I can see.

America is a Mahanian Eternal Seapower, the Empire of Liberty need only rule the waves to rule the world; just stick to the Navy, and never get off the boat.

In a propaganda war, every mission is a "war crime!" and every target struck is a "hospital!" , "school!", or a "church!", there are no legitimate military targets, in a war of media hackery.

The real question is, who even fuckin' cares? Who are they thinking they are appealing to? I mean, sure, not everybody is a misanthrope like me, but even if you're a bleeding heart, at some point, it just becomes background noise, since there is no variety, it's just a non stop tale of woe, which, eventually, diminishing returns "ZOMG blah-blah-blah!"

[TheReal_ND]

Agreed.

It seems they've suffered a short, sharp, shock to their cerebral stupidity. They get knocked down, but they'll get up again--the train ain't waiting.
