There's nothing civil about this war.
The nation that will insist on drawing a broad line of demarcation between the fighting man and the thinking man is liable to find its fighting done by fools and its thinking done by cowards.
Amen.
I think they've been playing fast and loose with the website, much like they do with the truth.

I'm now glad WP blocks me from reading their "articles" since I run an ad blocker. Fuck them.
I'm honored to serve. For the meantime at least it's unlikely I'll leave this X, which is indescribably frustrating for me, but good for assuaging the worries of my wife and family.
But there's a lot of brothers and sisters in northern Iraq and Syria that are facing some very interesting times in the coming months, and I'd ask that we all spare a thought for them. I'm not much for praying but I pray for peace, as well as wisdom and restraint for all of the world's leaders every day.
If my brothers and sisters are asked to fight, I pray like hell that we'll ALL be saddled up to properly stomp that shit out swiftly and decisively.

We mustn't anger these people.

All bullshit aside, I'm leery of getting too excited because killing these fuckers is just whack-a-mole.
If I were President Hambo I'd have said, "We smoked him, and there are more on our Xmas gift list. Don't ask me who did it, or how we knew where to go. Thank you, and as always, go fuck yourselves."

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
That one has been deleted. Guess someone clued up.
I'm against hate crimes in our country and believe we should take them and the groups/individuals that perpetrate them very seriously. Anyone who pledges allegiance to a violent criminal group or actor against our nation, deserves the harshest penalties allowable by law.
But I don't know how or why I'm supposed to do much about these issues outside the U.S. - I could argue that my privilege as a heterosexual CIS male grants me the ability to effectively ignore these problems, but I think the reality is, there isn't much that can be done to change centuries of a culture of hatred for non-conformists. We changed our culture slowly, but steadily, and it took ~100 years for things to happen and we're one of the most technologically advanced, well-educated, and progressive cultures in the world.
I guess my point is - ISIS/ISIL/IS/etc. hate people of certain types and always will. They'll sooner kill us if we don't kill them. So I don't care if we send dogs, pigs, or anything else after them.
I think that's true. I'd change the old adage "smoke 'em if you got 'em" to "smoke 'em where you find 'em" in this instance.
The sobering reality is that this is a war with no end in sight because the threat can pop up anywhere and will live as long as there are individuals who embrace the ideology or have a mental predisposition toward mayhem and chaos.
What we need is not to be more understanding and coddling, but to be more resolute about eradicating it where it pops up in our midst. No apologies necessary.
