That leadership may be competAnt, but a competEnt leadership would
get these your friends in the military out of harms way, and out of
the pressure to commit torture, murder and other atrocities, by
bringing them home immediately.

Some say that's a common misunderstanding. The troops on the ground don't
WANT to be out of harm's way - they don't WANT to be home.

The reason the JOINED them military in the first place was for the
opportunity to kill people and break things.

Very few people would become firefighters if they were guaranteed they'd
never have to ride on the fire truck.

These same people opine that, if we hope to have an effective fighting force
to deal with some future contingency, we have to provide the opportunity for
the military to practice their skills (and learn new ones).

With all the less-than-explicit reports on that perversion, I've never been
really clear exactly where Monica was "penetrated." Did she simply light the
stogie for him? Or puff it with her private parts like we saw in Vietnamese
nightclubs? Or did she "blow it out her....."

Never mind. I don't really want to know.
