We've already got boots on the ground …

Go for it … or not …

The U. S. military is an all volunteer outfit these days ...

When you go to a concert of death metal, somebody might get killed! You know, you’re worshiping death, and then, all of a sudden, people start dying!… Well, you love death so much, you bought the ticket, you love worshiping Satan! Well, let’s have some of Satan’s religion come in and shoot you!

I mean, that’s what these people should think about before they go into such a wicked concert…
Christian Pastor Criticizes Paris Terror Attack Victims for Attending “Death Metal” Concert

1) First of all, this pastor is a fool - Eagles of Death Metal have an ironic name, as their genre of music is primarily classic blues rock.

2) Second, there's no more reason to expect to get killed listening to the death metal genre of music (inane as I find it, it's not lethal to enjoy it) than one should expect to die watching The Sopranos or attending a performance of Hamlet, both of which are quite about a lot of death.

3) Third, why is this loser blaming the victims? Oh, right - because he actually thinks they kinda sorta had it coming. That's how hateful he is.

What a horrible human being...

Chernobyl is incredible. When I visited, they instructed me to not eat the local vegetation though.

On-topic, nuking is not the answer. A nuclear weapon should be a deterrent against large-scale attack and its indiscriminate killing power will not win over anyone.

Yeah, I was waiting for that to happen. He probably thinks Queens Of The Stone Age are a gay Flinstones tribute band.

ByeBye, as usual you have a great recommendation. This book is next on the reading list, can't believe I've never heard of it.

It more and more appears that the best course of action is to prop up Assad. We are desperately looking for “boots on the ground” but don’t see couple of hundred thousands of them right before our eyes. It makes no sense to remove Assad at this point.

Tell me this. As an environmentalist that I am sure you are, do you put on your boots and go to superfund sites to personally clean up the environment? If I am for fighting crime, do I have to join the police department? How about fire? If I can't personally fight fires then I have to let fires burn everywhere?

As much as you have tried to curry favor with Islam doesn’t seem like it has bought you anything. Look what happened in Paris. Those ISIS guys don’t need you to defend Islam. They know what it is and aren’t asking for clarifications.

Our military should be at home, protecting our country and we can use aircraft, guided missiles and drones to kill the rodents. We have the technology to target an individual person from a satellite in orbit and then use a drone to "evaporate" them. That's what we should be doing....every day and every night until they are all gone
"break out the nukes" have you lost your mind? Don't you realize that we are not the only ones in the world with 'nukes' and the likely outcome of that would be at a minimum nuclear involvement of Pakistan and Israel or even worse global annihilation if China or Russia got involved geezus
