My one issue with all this is it's the terrorists setting up in civilian area's. Mosques, hidden in the middle of densely populated area's where the civilians gladly act as human shields, hell they've even setup shop in U.N. controlled buildings. I've seen video footage where the civilians would stand near an Israeli checkpoint with stretchers, ambulances and news crews from many different WESTERN outlets and then fire a round at the Israeli outpost. The Israeli's knowing what was up would maybe fire a few half hearted rounds or not return fire at all and suddenly alarms would sound, Muslims would just fall to the ground, a blanket gets tossed over someone and they are loaded into the ambulances and our news crews (Thx CNN.. they used to at least try to make it look real) report on the evil attack by Israeli forces on Muslim civilians.
The bleeding hearts here go into a tizzy about our evil war on innocents(actually I should stop using that word and use non combatants) and what they call liberals today are suddenly on the side of the Palestinians! A flocking terrorist government and these young arsehole's support them! In our case it's an evil drone strike against non-com civilians. So we have to send ground troops into harms way instead. The best part is these arsehole's are trying to kill our troops and each other at the same time! Because of our own press our troops need to have like 3 rpg's fired at them before they can engage. Getting more of our guys killed and emboldening the enemy to setup in more densely populated area's. Forcing us to engage in civilian area's even more and getting more non combatants killed. Our own press has been dictating how we've been fighting this war, getting more people, ours and theirs, killed. I can't believe I'm typing this but I agree with Trump. The numbers reported are mostly pulled out of someone's ass. Every aid group, hospital, gov't, civilian oversight group, the U.N. and every freelancer reports different numbers. Our own press has given the terrorists the best PR that I doubt even the terrorists could have dreamed of. The press should never have been given the access they got to our troops from the beginning. Morale is just as important as a successful mission and that should mean that sometimes freedom of the press in a war zone takes a back seat to the successful prosecution of a War. Our pilots should be able to eject and walk back to base on the wings of hundreds of drones patrolling the skies.
At some point the non-comm population has to make a choice either fight if you really are against the extremists or get out of the way. They have a responsibility to themselves, their families and to their country (if they really want one). It's a bitch of a choice but it's the only way any of this becomes worth it. 1.8 Billion Muslims in the world, ballpark estimates say 20% are extremists in some form. That's around 360 million people. Every balsa wood kit from the local hobby shop that can carry a fire cracker should be in the air as we speak.... God it makes me so mad I could ramble for hours and hours... What people call a liberal today is either.a Fascist or Marxist and both are more condescending and racist. I remember seeing some fat antifa biotch yelling at some guy at the top of her dumb proud lungs "You probably hate Communists don't you!" in a YouTube video. I've watched them argue with old Russian men from the Soviet era about how great Communism is. I need to go punch a feminist, gender fluid, Fascist/Marxist, racist, in the mouth now to calm down.....
