The ME is a mess because of people like you.
F them bomb/glass the bad parts then come home. Maybe leave some behind to pump/mine the oil and minerals.
He dismisses all the cultural backwardness.
Truth be told I could give a rats ass what they do to their own but it goes right up my ass that one political side of the aisle champions that same backward culture while also championing lifestyles that that culture will immediately destroy if given the right to do so.
@Mr.BR dismisses a history that includes such horrors as the USS Liberty, various aircraft incidents, 444 days, Desert 1, Robert Stethem, the Achille Lauro, LeBelle Discotheque, Beirut, WTC1, USS Cole, Kenya, Mogadishu, Khobar Towers, WTC2, Extortion 17, Capture of Navy Patrol Boats, Pulse Nightclub, Chyatanooga and Im sure other events I have shamefully missed.
When the history on this shit is writ it will be called something like the 100 Years War. I know that name is taken but in my history classes I wondered "How the fuck can you have a "30 Years War" let alone a "100 Years War".
Now I know.
What really sucks is that the existence of the MIC almost guarantees this is just going to be "The War that Never Ended".
Mr.BR can rightfully say we have "stumbled" in our efforts but the entire time the cause has been toward more freedom.
As of recently though I think the effort is tainted because more emphasis is being placed on profit and we actually seem to have segments of society that see our failure of trying to promote freedom as a means to increasing their own power.
Mr.Br is lucky this fight has gone on these last 55 or so years.
As fucked up as Europe is now imagine how it would have been had the invader not been confronted at even the limited amount it has been?
