I wonder if G. W. Bush saw that movie.

Yeah, but think of all the advances made with prosthetic devices.

And how much better off the Yew-Nited States is, along with the rest of the world.

Can his stupidity get any worse???!!!

Greenland may not go down as easily…

Which one?

Who cares? They’re all losers and suckers. The president said so.

park of the issue with BHD was that the americans had used the same plan multiple times. the somali’s knew what was coming and had cooked up a response.

Not just “sometimes”. Every time.

War is a failure of human endeavors. We measure our history and our religions by wars.

The U.S. Military policy of ‘Total War’ has been in place since 1864. The concept behind ‘total war’ is first as a deterrent, and secondly as a means to and end of the war. Would an enemy attack us if they knew we would destroy every square inch of their people, country and ability to make war until they surrendered. If you don’t want to die in a war, don’t start one. Don’t allow your leaders to start one. We do not always practice ‘total war’, as in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Those wars went on and on with many dead. ‘Total War’ brought the end of our Civil War to a quick end. Should we implement that concept again?

But now the warmongers are getting the boot

“What did I join the Army for,anyway?”

“To defend your native soil”

“Well,they don’t have to feed it to me!”

[Chorus]

What did you learn in school today

Dear little boy of mine?

What did you learn in school today

Dear little boy of mine?

[Verse 1]

I learned that Washington never told a lie

I learned that soldiers never die . . .

. . .

[Verse 4]

I learned that war is not so bad

I learned about the great ones we have had

We fought in Germany and in France

And someday I might get my chance . . .

—Tom Paxton
