On another note, not to derail, US-Led Coalition Hitting ISIS 'Harder Than Ever,' Obama Says
From the mouth of Barry
Obama Just in time as always.
Congress is ready to start investigating all of Obama's "claims" of hitting ISIS, and he's still running at the mouth.

They seems like a problem they need to fix on their own.
At home.
Temporarily, just until everyone is safe.

What is this? Is it possible that logic still exists in the Western world?

I just wish I could have stayed in the Army long enough to rain some fire down on those assholes.
Oh well. I guess I have to let the newbies have their fun.

Combat is fun. You'll never understand because although you want 'someone' to deal with ISIS and groups like then(Boko Haram, the Taliban, AQ), you're not willing to accept the reality of what needs to be done.
I've been part of MANY operations to go and kill people who do awful things to innocent human beings. It's like stepping on roaches. I don't think about it.

I will say with honesty that your attitude and your avatar of you with your gun looking all smug
and your open love of killing people in the guise of freedom
ust as frightening if not more so to me than any islamic threat.
You like killing people and see my as weak because I disagree with you.

As a person that has had to deal with the consequences taking a life can bring (not me personally), I must say that there is something wrong with you.

It was a joke picture, taken spur of the moment. We had been cleaning weapons for a while.

I don't like killing people. Never killed anyone in my life. I did destroy a lot of equipment and was involved in direct combat a few times as the SF dudes in the back of my bird took out some trash. They were NOT people. They were monsters praying on the weak. We weren't allowed to kill the trash. But I did hurt a few. I didn't fight for your freedom or that of anyone in America. But I did fight, directly, for the liberty of Afghans who BEGGED US for our involvement. I will always be proud of what I did and I will never feel bad for putting the hurt on the trash.

You should be so lucky.
You like killing people and see my as weak because I disagree with you.
I don't see you as weak. I see you as ignorant because you think there's a clean end on the turd we have to pick up. There isn't.
The difference between you and I is the willingness to get dirty to get the job done.

I'm not a hero.
I'm just a dude who did a job.
Got involved in some #.
Now I have to watch the same people get run over by the forces we couldn't stop. We have to watch ISIS and the Taliban and AQ take over what we fought and bled for.
It's not bloodlust. Its disappointment and anger.
ISIS, Boko Harram, Nusra, Qaeda...they will NOT quit.
Go hard and fast on them and deal with being called a "bigot" until the smoke clears.
If you don't think we're in a war...you'll lose. You're in it whether you like it or not....sorry to inform you of this truth.
