I saw that and thought...wow, we just killed 5 people in another sovereign nation with our drones. And nobody here blinks an eye over it. 
Can anyone here even imagine what the reaction would be if another country sent a drone into the U.S. and killed 5 of our citizens with it?
And we do it everyday.
I don't think history is going to look at what our govt. has been doing with ANY favor at all.
I love the U.S. , but I HATE the federal govt. and what it has become over the decades.
To all of you people outside the U.S., you should know that the shit our govt. does has nothing to do with how the people here really are.
Our govt. now has so many people here dependent and they keep us all fat, happy, and totally misinformed (just look at how aggressively they go after "whistle blowers") |
I got pissed when they wanted to give drone operators medals.
I have a medal, I earned that thing and giving it out to playstation jockey's that never left the comfort and security of a US base really pissed me off.
I served the country because I thought it was the right thing to do. I was put in danger. During the Iran Crisis, I was in between the fleet and Iran punching holes in the ocean. Sending in troops because of some ass hats ego over political reasons is NOT good enough.

It just pisses me off all the people that voted for Barry because they said they were tired of the wars that Bush started, even though Barry promised he was going to be sending more troops to Afghanistan. That's when I made up my mind I didn't like him!
Now Barry is placing threats of war on Assad and he is laughing about it. Sure he is killing his own people, but if we go in, we're going to kill a lot more of them.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
