Enigma89 posted:I guess you thought Iraq was a good idea? No, you see, one can think Iraq was a horrible idea and think that the Pauls would be horrible Secretaries of State at the same time. The reason why one can think this is because there are more axes to a successful foreign policy than the decision of whether or not to invade Iraq.

Does Keystone XL actually have a supermajority or is Fox just making poo poo up? I mean I think I know the answer here, but I want to hear it from someone other than me.

Enigma89 posted:I guess you thought Iraq was a good idea? Rand's relative isolationism would last exactly as long as it would take somebody to gently caress with profitable american corporate interests overseas, or about half an hour. Ron was a goofy racist gently caress who should never have ascended to public office in this country, but by god the man could stick to his guns. Rand is nowhere near that kind of ideological puritan. He is a lightweight, chronically-waffling, soon-to-be-one-term senator whose positions are whatever he thinks they need to be to navigate the tightrope between thoroughly incompatible constituencies. Soon he will not be a thing.

wait do PMC employees get VA benefits or no, because part of me thinks that's also another reason the Pauls would prefer them over servicemen.

Nope, that's up to the company to provide. But they make more in a month that your generic soldier makes in a year, so they'll be alright.

Looks like if you're a sociopath with a decent amount of defensive training PMCs are apparently sweet rear end gigs. I mean, you spend some time killing some random civilians, piss on some corpses, maybe rape a co-worker, then you go home and chill out on your huge salary and golden benefits.
