If they were true liberals, they would be handing out the food that is on that table to starving Americans or Africans. A damn shame.
Since there are no large anti-war protest in front of the White House or any large city anymore, I guess the far left liberals must now support the war in Afghanistan. I know the news media would have reported any such unrest or daily protest like in the Bush years. Thanks "O" for getting all the far left to support our troops in the field.
Ron Paul pretty much told the truth on how Obama got the anti-war left to disappear. The anti-war left basically left when Barry became president. Liberals gladly now support nation building and bullying countries into submission because Barry supports it. Monkey see, monkey do.
Um, no?
This is some of the dumbest logic I've ever read. Let me know when Obama invades a country like Iraq and I promise you that you'll see those protest again. The limited action in Libya got plenty of dissent.
Lol limited. They only overthrew a sovereign government using our own al ciada troops and massive air support
Did we invade? Did we use our full military? It was a limited action. I wasn't for it. Your stupidity doesn't change that it was limited.
How do you suggest they recruit? It is a volunteer force.
Full air support and contracted the ground troops in order to not be a war by technicality
"volunteer force"
they've beens aggressively scraping the bottom of the barrel for poor kids for many years, while hyper-extending the Reserves for multiple tours. Not really volunteer when you have to lie to the ignorant, desperate-for-a-job kids and sucker them into getting ed up in phony wars.
And wait for the DoD/NSA/CIA PsyOps wars on Human-Americans to really feed them tons of all-out pure bull LIES.

anecdote: I've talked to several acquaintances that were recruiters that admit to some shady tactics to get the kids to sign that dotted line.
It's disgusting.
and the multi-$100K ads (that's development costs, not airtime costs) showing a fantasy world that looks like a video game, with no mention of TBI, PSTD, missing limbs, faces, foreclosed homes while deployed, and all for nothing except enrichment of the MIC.
” Morning Edition, March 2, 2010 · America's Army, an online combat game developed by the Pentagon, has helped boost military recruitment. The game's technology is not all that different from the tools used in today's war zones to guide unmanned drones and perform other tasks.
In a recent article for Foreign Policy, Peter Singer, the director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Ins ution, explored the question of how realistic that technology really is and the extent to which virtual and actual war have merged.
"It's what they call a 'first-person shooter,'" Singer tells NPR's Steve Inskeep; in the game, the player looks down the barrel of a gun on the battlefield.
Millions of people play the game. It ranks in the top 10 of all downloadable games; the Chinese government even sought to ban it. But its depictions of military training and combat were meant to be a recruiting tool —and America's Army has succeeded in that goal, Singer says.
"One study found that the game had more impact on actual recruits than all other forms of Army advertising combined," he says.........

lol..not knowing the difference between providing support and a full invasion..
USA is technically "AT WAR" with many countries, where war is defined as one country's military invading the target country.
Obama Expands Secret Wars Across the Globe
In short, handing war to the special operators severs an already too tenuous link between war and politics; it becomes war for its own sake.
