That pic is a pun.
We've had nearly 10 years to hash this over. As an old guy I keep remembering the tired old slogan; The Lesson Of Vietnam. How soon we forget. So, I'll remind you of it..the real lesson.
War is serious business. It is not a game. If it needs to be employed, and at times it is necessary, then it should be employed in Old Testament fashion. It is full tilt boogy, not surgical. I recall the words Shock and Awe. I was shocked and awed that it was not shocking nor awe inspiring. And here we are, 10 years later, broke and still electing stupid, cowardly, self serving people.
I think America had some legitimate reasons to give an exhibition of our power as a lesson to the world that peace is better than war. Don't Tread On Me is a valid national slogan that represents us. If you tread on us, we will destroy you with no regard to what you think about it, or what anyone else thinks about it. If it is the only thing to be done, then it will be done. We can be poles apart in dogma, but whatever bad things one might believe are righteous within one's tribal religious fanaticism, it should not be exported. The Lesson Of Vietnam has been forgotten, or in reality never really understood or learned, and more thousands of noble American lives have been shed, not in vain, but worse yet, in egregious stupid.
Though I supported beginning what was begun in response to 9-11, it is now time to say lesson given, and again taken. We're done. Understand if we have to come back, you don't want that. It will be different next time. It is simple what you must do. Don't export what we don't want.
Yes, it is more complicated than this and many things are intertwined. But that is for another discussion.
