edit: Also, how does one get a gang-tag?

459 civvies but 15000 isis assholes killed in a year long bombing campaign is actually a pretty good tradeoff

Does it still count as stolen valor if you're pretending to be a reservist and a JAG in the Air Force?
Good for Graham that very few people know what a joke the officer evals are. The officer corps, where 75% of officers are in the top 1% of officers.

Being a civvie in ISIS-held territory is basically a death sentence anyway.

Can't we just say 'They got time off for good behavior' and call it a day?

I think the ME will eventually grow out of cultural/religious conflict. I mean Europe managed to grow out of it for the most part.

the big difference is how much money is in the ME

also 60 years is a pretty short time to judge that they've grown out of it

Longest in history, except for when the Romans owned the western bits.

Problem is if the west keeps sticking their dick in the bear trap it's not going to do any good. WW1 and WW2 did a lot to stem the bloodthirst of Europe because it was entirely self inflicted whereas the Middle East can level the blame at the West pretty easily. And we're not going to stop sticking our dick in the bear trap because the spice must flow.

The problem is because of globalization anything that happens over here can be used to justify something they do over there if you're willing to do the mental gymnastics. Even without military intervention. Nobody held a gun to Akbar's head and ordered him to saw off his daughters clit, but that's how some people will see it no matter what.

2 Men Open Fire On Soldiers At Jade Helm Training Site In Mississippi

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) � A sheriff in Mississippi says authorities are searching for two men who fired gunshots from a vehicle at soldiers at a military facility. No injuries were reported.

Perry County Sheriff Jimmy Dale Smith tells WDAM-TV (http://bit.ly/1UlrHi6) that the shots were fired just after noon Tuesday. The soldiers were training at Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center in Hattiesburg.

U.S. Special Forces Command designated Camp Shelby as one of the sites where a multi-state military training exercise, "Jade Helm 15", was expected to take place, according to The Army Times.

About 4,600 soldiers are participating in the training exercise, which is scheduled to continue through mid-August.

Smith says officers are searching for a two-door, red Ford Ranger with "broken arrow" written across the top. Authorities say they are looking for two white males who allegedly fired from the vehicle and fled in the vehicle.

Members of the Forrest County Sheriff's Department and the Mississippi Forestry Commission are assisting in the search.
