“That would remove the great majority of issues that come before these bodies right now,” Alston said

There is the truth; were it not for this, “these bodies” would have nothing to do, so of course they need to find something to complain about.

These are all things taught and re-taught at War College that senior officers attend in their military careers.

The most egregious and glaring error is that once again, liberals are of the mind that one can fight a “clean” war. That only those who should be targeted will be harmed. And, given today’s technology, that is almost possible. Oddly, drones allow us to do much of that very thing. All from a chair 10,000 miles away where the most hazardous thing the pilot faces is spilling their coffee.

This is the stuff of science fiction.

However, the liberals think that by simply uttering the decree that “only the enemy is to be the target” well, again, they do not understand “enemy” or “target”.

Enemy is any SOB…entity, thing, object that has me in its sights and wants to kill me. Target is me doing the same thing to the enemy.

Yes, it’s blindingly simple. Like Patton said, “Your job—-is not to die for your country—–. Your job——is to get the OTHER son-of-a-bitch to die for THEIR country”.

But liberals hate such parochial, straightforward concepts, especially when stated in colorful metaphors or language. In the days when the American Indian tribes were everywhere, a male who would not be a warrior would be called a woman and most likely killed as they were a liability to the group.

Not that I think liberals should be killed. Instead, they need to never get themselves involved in that business we call the military. When they do, it always turns out badly for the good guys. To them the great challenge is to get the bad guys to come to the table, smoke some pot, listen to some Deep Purple albums and say “far out”.

They can never entertain the notion that even all the negotiating and chatting in the world will not stop a certain number of them from wanting them dead, preferably in a violent manner, to please….(ugh) allah. Being non-religious, I can see it for the crap it really is. Dogma, idealism, brainwashing, bribery, trickery, etc etc etc.

But I don’t want to convert them. They are the enemy and I have to kill them before they kill me, or mine. When I kill enough of them, “conversion” becomes academic. A simple, basic, overwhelmingly obvious rule of survival. I have mine….you get your own…but don’t touch mine or I will hurt you. That philosophy is tens of thousands of years old. And pretty well tested.

In fact, so well, that our very nation allows those who disagree with that premise to flourish and prosper. Isn’t irony ironic?

One need only imagine what it would be like..and many of us here have, to think if all the conservatives simply left. Went to a new place where they had fortresses, arms, a strong military and used the natural resources to their advantage. Wouldn’t be too long before the hungry, cold, needy liberals showed up at the gate and begged to come in. Would it?

“Please, protect me”

“Please, feed me”

“Please, I’m cold”

“please, please, please”.

But here in this nation…we do. We feed the hungry, we clothe the naked, we try our best to house the homeless and so forth through literally thousands of charity foundations that depend on donated money. But every time the government “lends a hand” it goes bust.

I think, at least for a time, we need to say, “screw islam. If that makes you mad, there’s the door. We’re not saying not to practice your religion but the very moment it interferes with our laws here…on this piece of real estate, buh-bye; You’re no longer welcome here”.

And to hell with liberals. Giving other people’s money to the poor only makes the givers feel good…and only for a short time. The old, “give a man a fish/teach a man to fish” argument.

All of us here KNOW what the answer is…and it frustrates us to see it all go haywire. However, if any good can come of it, we will, for years, have a stellar example(s) of what happens when liberalism runs amok and gets its way every time.

Sorry for the long report…but I have to vent here,….or my head would explode. And nobody wants that.

Strap Mr. Alston to a drone and staple an olive branch to his forehead.

There. It’s no longer an “unmanned warplane.”

All in a tale of fiction, of course. No rational Constitution-defending American citizen would dream of using violence against the enemies of our Nation.
