| #1 The only thing worse than a President with no common sense is a bunch of Pentagon drone LTC's with MBA's with too much time on their hands and no common sense. Imagine launching an ICBM full of Symtex and then calling Vlad the Impaler and saying "Hey Vlad, that missile on your radar scope, we're taking out a tribe of goat herders in Helmand. Trust us on this one." Yeah right. Who thinks of this crap. They swap a really silly idea with a very expensive silly program. Why can't we just do the right thing and have a standing army full of rough men ready to do violence and just shoot all of those little goat buggers that want to kill us? |
