the old standby complaint is "The Western world is threatening to destroy our culture" but now here you are

About a thousand years ago the eastern world threatened to destroy their culture.

And did destroy their culture. The mongols pushed their boots so far up the rear end of the Middle East that they never recovered. The difference is that while the Muslim armies might have been really pissed off and rah rah OUR CULTURE, the mongols gave zero fucks about hearts and minds and would be very happy to kill every living thing.

Just a reminder. Genghis Khan was conquering areas a year after his death.

What I am saying here is, they were on to something.

The army that bootfucked the Middle East the first time was a scouting force. Like 10000 dudes. Against the entire might of the quarismian shah.

There wasn't an army on earth that could stand up to them.

My uncle was in 'nam.

He was a mechanic on Hueys, worked the door-guns on occasions. Crappy hearing in one ear from the M-60s.

Didn't we have a super graybeard goon that was a cop in 60's Chicago? He had great stories.
