My apologies, but, this is a rant:
Since 2002, I had dedicated my life to hunting, killing, and destroying “Muslim Jihad Extremists”, from Africa to Iraq and finally Afghanistan, I have done everything I can to give as many as possible the hope of securing a virgin. I have trained others to do the same, only to see them run away from a fight or shoot my brothers in the back, their governments bloated with corruption, fed by the stupidity and weak leadership of mine. Read the below link.
As naive as it sounds, the collective governments of this world, regardless of religious faith, needs to hang its head for allowing this filth to exist. A T-Nation member stared a thread on the meaning of “triumph”, well here’s mine: That every member of ISIS, AL-QAEDA, AQAP, AL-SHABAAD, BOKO HARAM, etc…their financial supporters and sympathizers, die a slow and horrible death, their bodies sliced and diced and fed to the hogs.

“stupidity and weak leadership”
Well there’s also the fact that we sell weapons that make it into their hands.
If you’re going to try to exterminate these people, you should probably be pretty pissed that your own government is responsible for supplying them weapons, even if indirectly.

Thank you all for the comments.
First, because I have to maintain a high security clearance to do my job, I cannot go into specfic details but let me give you two examples of the type of stupidity that has prevailed throughout these two wars. I believe this type of “thinking” is a microcosm of current “leadership” tactics.
Now, I am neither an intellectual nor a philosopher, just someone who has spent the last 8 years in some Mid-East/Central Asia shithole. Currently I am working in the Kandarhar/Helmand area. Since it has already been mentioned in the media, ISIS is making inroads into this area. During a discussion on this issue and what the future plans would be to deal with this, a fine gentleman from one of our government agencies, suggested building a park in Kandahar city, so the youth would have another outlet besides joining ISIS. oh, yeah, brother, thats our thinking…un-fucking-believable…and the sad part? He probably believed it would help.
Several years ago, I was providing security for another fine gentleman for a meeting in Sadar City. Being a typical representative of this distinguished government agency he was polished and dressed in a 2 thousand dollar suit. After the meeting, he turned to me and said" Do you know what this area needs? " Yeah, I thought “glassed”. But being a good little tin man, I said “what? Giving me that pompous stare that only the “upper class” can give, he said” “we need to build these people some basketball courts”, “get them off the streets”
Now in 3 years in Iraq, I never saw an Iraqi with a basketball, much less court in some park… I just wonder what planet he was from. Two examples of my “leadership” at work and the thinking behind winning these wars. Fuck me running. [/quote]
You should post that anecdote in the “stupid thread.” I think I need to go lie down.
