Because they are illiterate, they were unable to read Debt of Honor by Tom Clancy, about 6 years prior.


Now Trump's War on Terrorists caught them flatfooted again. Clancy's Clear And present Danger helped spell out some of what we are seeing in the news now. That was around 35 years ago.

A better (IMHO) book was Cobra, by Fredrick Forsythe IIRC, about 15 years ago. Technically, Cobra is a sequel, with characters established in Avenger. But Avenger is not really required reading before Cobra. Both titles refer to code-names, like CIA practice. I enjoy both, have read both numerous times.

The Secretary of Defense (now Secretary of War) has been re-reading the same books.

REPORT: Hegseth speaks about the renaming of the DoD to the Department of War - says they are about lethality, not legality.

Since when does a drug runner need eleven people on the boat?

There is no evidence of drugs from that boat he killed 11 people on but even if it was a raft of cocaine, it is still illegal to murder 11 people. You are supposed to arrest them and try them in a court of law.

I’m waiting for Trump to hold up a photo of the boat with the words “lots of drugs inside“ written on the side of the boat with a sharpie.

Donnie proclaimed "No new wars".... now the administration has a "war fighting" fetish, claiming that after originally renaming the War Department to the DoD, it makes them "woke" which is why the U.S. stopped winning wars. Almost seems like they just want to go around with their military doing whatever they want with a "just try to fight back" attitude.

Renaming it to the Department of Defence was widely considered to be one of the smartest rebrands to have ever occurred. Of course, these morons want to change it back.

Someone should tell Lil' Don Don that renaming your Department of Defense the War Department *automatically makes you ineligible* to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

"Maximum lethality, not tepid legality?" So, uh, war crimes? Sounds like they might be aiming to start illegal conflicts just so he can claim emergency presidential war powers to bypass congress and formally become a dictator.

At least they didn't rename it "The Ministry of Peace" then say all that murderous stuff.

The secretary went on to say that the War Department would fight decisively to win and not get mired down in endless conflicts.

"Maximum lethality, not tepid legality; violent effect, not politically correct," he said.

I'm surprised that you retards never renamed it that.



I personally would have renamed it The Department of Offense.

A double meaning to really piss people like Ted and Second off.

The catch phrase for all the T-Shirts would be "The Best Offense is a good Offense."

another schizo policy

You need to change the culture within, it wont work

they bombed Afghanistan for years post 911 said it was not just to hunt binLaden al-Qaeda / Taliban but to stop the drugs, it was about the Freedom of Hollyweird and Hedonism and at the same time giving them a schizo mohammedan Sharia Law Afghan constitution and make them fly the 'Gay Lesbo Flags'...give Afghan Feminists the vote, give them voter IDs while they were these trash can ninja outfits...promote GayLesbo jihads and stop the drugs...how did all that work out? another financial disaster?

The war on drugs during the ColdWar was crazy...Reagan actually got into bed with NARCO types. Money and gun running was moving from Latin America to Iran, its not just about Reagan Commies Drugs and Iranian guns, it goes back before Reagan, to Carter, Ford, Nixon but in defense of Nixon he wasnt insane, his policy was more logical President Richard Nixon declared drug abuse "public enemy number one".

Rockefeller and Betty Ford were so insane they undid everything positive Nixon was doing on gun runners, the booze smugglers and drugs.
There are spooks who seem to be deep with the global Mafia business the CIA facing all kinds of questions.
Before the final Vietnamese push from the North down to the South and Fall of Saigon on April 1975 it was estimated that "as many as 10 to 15 percent of United States servicemen are addicted to heroin in one form or another."
While Gerald Ford was in office "conscripted" drafted troops were allowed to be drugged out of their minds in the Vietnam jungles, transportation of "intoxicating liquors", the Vietnam addiction experience and homeless Vets would come back to US streets after the war

drug war? the war to “rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic”

D.A.R.E. actually caused a lot more kids to try drugs than stopping that behavior.

The "War on Drugs" was bullshit from day one.

Didn't help nobody. Everybody I grew up with was doing drugs by the time they left high school, and we all went through it. Half of my friends are already dead or were cut off years ago when I got my own shit together and couldn't be around them anymore if I ever wanted to fix things.

And I went to college so often on weekends that people who went there thought that I was a student and asked me my major. Both at ISU and at North Western. All they were doing was drinking and doing drugs, all the time.

It's why that expensive fucking piece of paper doesn't actually mean anything. I knew that before the year 2000, more than 25 years before the media is finally starting to admit that for most people it's a fuckin' scam.

The only degrees beyond high school that actually mean anything are Masters, Doctorates and Law degrees. And the people who got those are the ones who were the most likely NOT to be getting fucked up 24/7 for 4 years straight before they went on to the real higher education.

A bachelor's degree is a degree in Keg Stands and just serves as proof that you took out a loan you'll be paying off for the rest of your life, or your parents or government paid for you to get 4 more years of government mindrinsing and you survived them without an overdose or choking on your own vomit because your friends were too fucked up and/or ignorant to roll you over on your side when you passed out.

not happening, they Liar Attorney Legal people who think they are being a smartass with their dumb legal mumbo jumbo gibberish debates will learn to code soon. AI voices and Chatbots writing their papers are starting to replace Legal Teams now, machines more impartial more logical and they sometimes offer much better advice.

You might get some important political appointed ones like 'Ketanji Brown Jackson' the first Supreme Black Woman to go on tv in front of the world and say she can not tell the difference between a man and a woman, or for example 'Amy Coney Barrett' appointed by Trump but wants Open Borders in a strange Trump Backlash

6ixStringJack, some Americans cannot prosper because they are drunk. But you blame Democrats for not prospering and the drunkenness rather than the drunkards.

"Donald Trump has completely lost it. He’s not only planning to go to war with Venezuela — to manufacture a crisis that gives him cover to implement Project 2025 and stay in power forever — but he’s also preparing to go to war with America itself. Plans are on the table to unleash the National Guard on cities like Chicago and Portland," Parnas wrote. "And make no mistake, folks: none of this is about the safety or security of our country. It’s all part of Trump’s authoritarian playbook — an orchestrated campaign of chaos designed for one purpose only: to cement himself in power for good."

You voted for a woman who is clearly drunk everyday by noon.

Nobody wants to hear shit out of you.

Say hi to Kevin Drum for me.

$50 Million prize for Maduro's head on a pike.

Looks like we'll have his head before we have Nancy Pelosi's.

Put the Venezuelans living in the US illegally on notice.

If you're not out of our country by the end of the month, we will take your head as well.
