While I generally think you're brain damaged, I'm with you on this. The names are crap to anyone with half a brain, damaged or not.
It seems wrong to package something up like this to sell to the general public.
The only reason they gave it a name was because members of the military demanded it, otherwise veterans would have no status for fighting in it. No patches. No certificates of foreign war status. It would kinda be like calling a terrorist attack "workplace violence" to avoid the political fallout. Everything is politics, and I have a feeling that the flaccid name offered is almost intended as an insult, because it was already rejected by the Pentagon. "Oh you hate the name Inherent Resolve? Perfect! Inherent Resolve it is!"

Hey, the Atlantic Ocean is the new Mississippi River. If it's east of the Atlantic, it doesn't exist.

Not particularly good. ISIS has gained more ground in Syria despite our efforts.

War Powers resolution to congress just a few minutes ago. @AP BREAKING: Obama says Islamic State 'going to lose' as he asks Congress for military force authorization.We failed to contain them. We are going to war against the JV team. Sending some of these with hugs and kisses.

Just more validation that we should never have gone there in the first place and should have been completely done with working with Iraq years ago. If we are gonna have people there, keep them as a collective, cohesive force, not dispersed among the slackers that we put in power!

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

I thought that base was closed? Not sure why we still have anyone there? Pentagon is now saying that the city was taken but the base is secure. I suppose we have to wait until the dust settles a bit.

Probably some kind of "training" BS. As I have said before - we need more drones. We could alternately use a few hundred thousand jdams. Approach this like humpback whales approach dinner - start with a wide circle of bombs around the eastern half of Syria, separated by no more than the kill zone of each (couple hundred feet??), then move progressively toward the center of the circle, with another circle of jdams - smaller diameter - again, . Followed by another, smaller circle another couple hundred feet smaller. Lather, rinse, repeat.... Keep on big daisy cutter or moab for the center of the circle, just for effect. Then Iraq. Then whatever part of Afghanistan they occupy. Obliteration. Extermination. Elimination.
