I say they should stay in Syria... In absence of that, we could always send them to Christmas Island in Australia!
What is wrong with setting up Democrat "Safe spaces" in Syria? I mean really once they get here in the USA they will all vote Democrat for all them free hand outs, so why not keep them at home? Most of them would rather stay at home anyway!
Don't really understand why people have their heads so far up their asses? The most recent strike was only a warning, as President Trump has no problems unleashing some "real" wrath on Syria...
I really don't care what the bleeding heart liberals and Australian's say... If it were up to me the USA would annex each and every country we have to get involved with, just like Russia. Any of the people that don't like it can either move in with PowerStroker or Rastus, who will take full responsibility for them!

We know you don't care SELLC !!! That's why we post what we do.
I'd like to see how your thoughts would change if by-chance, your boys were called up for duty, to serve for your country, to fight in a country that you've decided to invade, & then have them arrive home in a wooden box, wrapped in a flag, & buried among millions of others...Whilst the leaders of industry of your country profit from their service, explaining...
"The sacrifice of a few, for the needs of the many".
There are laws that are internationally recognized, that the US-of-A is violating. This means that you, can't even trust your own leaders mate, & that your loyalty is grossly miss-placed, as you will always live in fear.
No amount of money or the colors of a wonderful flag will equal the value of the life, of one of your sons mate.
Ciao,
Rastus

There hasn't been a draft since the 1970's.. But now thanks to Obama woman can now be drafted.
I don't think I would have an issue with my boys defending this country, but the idea that immigrants would flee and Muslims would try dodging the draft like Muhammad Ali does piss me off.. The way Democrats have things right now, if there was a draft this nation could easily be sacked from within due to the high number of immigrants and illegals.
If they managed to get themselves killed in the line of duty I would be very sad... Such is the way of life I guess, which is why I'd rather see the war happen now rather than in another 5 years when they are of age. Still, even @ 41 years old there is a chance I could get drafted too given my credentials in automotive repair. Likely I would be stuck in the motor pool, as would my son given his experience in repairs.. My other would likely be flying drones as all he does is play on the computer all day... Both are pretty plump so I doubt they would be front line material.
I do worry about it, but at what point do I allow this worry to let me become soft? Any one of us could just as easily get struck by lightning tomorrow and the prospects for a nuclear war are ever growing anyway... I'm not saying war is good, or that I want war.. I am just saying world peace is a lot like a pipe dream.

A soldier who does not want to fight, will not be a good soldier.
Muhammad Ali did not want to fight, & like George Bush jr., did what he had to do to avoid being turned into minced-meat. And strangely enough, one turned into a World Champion Boxer !!! And the other.....................
I hope none of your family are ever drafted into a shit war, where occupation is what you're defending, in the name of the likes of the "Carlyle Group" & others making lots of money from the venture.
There will be no nuclear war, I'll assure you of that. Even your President Trump knows that if he sends the first one over, it will be the end of everything.
Possibly, the idiot in Nth.Korea may send one, but it would be the last one too, & the end of Nth Korea forever.
There are no winners in nuclear warfare. Even the uranium enriched weapons used in both the Iraq wars, have contents such as uranium dust that's floating around the world, & plenty is landing back on US-of-A shores. Very true.

Muhammad Ali didn't want to fight? HE WAS A BOXER! Fighting was his JOB!
Even Elvis Presley served! Albeit in Germany, but he still served! This brings me back to Christmas Island... The fact that your mainland isn't crawling with immigrants does not bring into focus what would happen if a great majority of your people had to go off to war and all of them stayed home to sack your country under religious grounds.
A draft is not a good thing... But neither is war. Much has changed since the old days in that now days we cut off the head and see what grows back. With todays technology it would not surprise me if we could literally cook a person (target) from orbital satellites much like how kids used to cook bugs under a magnifying glass. Drones, unmanned weaponry and the likes are all game changers. The threat of global thermal nuclear war is still very real, and most likely would take out any and all nations that possessed and launched these types of weapons. Yes, the rest of the world would be huffing fallout for the next decade but the world and the human race would still continue on and evolve. I can assure you that after a global thermal nuclear war it would probably ensure that never again were nukes tolerated. I'd like to think we could understand that without having to nuke the planet, but such is human nature and it's still very much a jungle out there. We could get creamed by an asteroid, or the sun could blow up... We could get swallowed by a massive black hole.. The list goes on and on with the key difference being that unlike all these other life ending events, man kind CAN stop a nuclear war, just like it could stop all the other wars and murders that happen day in and day out.
With that said, I think it's clear... Live it up while you can!

Hey SELLC,
What long post lol...I've pulled it apart a little & numbered it as you covered a lot of different ground...eg, from Ali, to Elvis, to the end-of-the-world LOL !!!
1. Yes, but I'd hoped folks would recognize that I meant "fight" in the context of the Vietnam war that we lost.
2. Yes, it was a swift shift to Islam for Cassius Clay, to avoid the draft, & win World Boxing Titles instead. But it did rightfully tell your corrupted politicians to go & get lost. I believe most folks would gladly in need, pick up arms to defend ones country. An invasion based on another "false-flag" event just isn't worth it. The Gulf of Tolken event has been proven to be bullshyte. Once again, the Carlyle Group & the likes made lots of money, cleaned out your jails, & reduced your colored population, as approx. 80% of people that died were African-Americans.
Your Military Industrial Complex also IMO, displayed its worse ever disgracefulness to humanity, by releasing defoliants, planting millions of land-mines, & the real gut wrentcher for me, spraying people with diesel-jelly & then setting it alight.....( Napalm )...How nice...
3. You are mistaken about Australia SELLC. Without sounding like a racist, the whole place is crawling with immigrants, especially Asians. The inner city of Sydney, has nothing but Asians within it. The white caucasion / aryan person ( eg Irish / UK / American ) would have to be 1/10, if that. Very multicultural society here, & for the most-part, it works out OK. I would be a hypocrite to my own family & history to deny that I'm from immigrant-heritage, caused by WW-II.
War displaces people SELLC....And in the 1950's, the US-of-A, Canada, Australia etc etc wanted immigrants to carry out the slave-labor of factory-type work, or farming etc, to grow wealth, economy, & prosperity for the nation. Now apparently, our wealthly through greed alone, have decided that we're over-populated, & sold our primary manufacturing resources abroad, meaning our jobs too. While their shares grow, our money shrinks.
4. Game changers ?...Yes & no...It's still spying / espionage mostly. Though no doubt a person or persons could be taken-out if needed, without having the risk of a real assassin being caught, or having to make for his / her get-away etc etc.
5. I don't think it will happen. Nuclear war is not profitable in the slightest. The key being profit.
It takes around 35-years for the peak-of-radioactivity to reveal itself in measurable terms. With over 2,500 air-borne nuclear tests completed, plus the Three-Mile Island disaster, Chernobyl, & now Fukushima in an on-going state ( so the counting hasn't even started here ), the full release of contaminiants is still not realized, as everything still fits within the 35-years peak time-line, with the only exceptions being the some of the air-borne tests, & Three-Mile-Island. Things are bleak for the planet already, without having an all-out nuclear WW-III.
6. Couldn't agree more !!! Enjoy yourselves folks !!!
Ciao,
Rastus
