Get out of the trucks.
Take a thirty minute lunch break.
Report back to base.
We'll explain later.
Yes, you will still be paid Friday.
NATO should be disbanded.
I agree. NATO only existed to fight the Soviet invasion that never happened. Should've been disbanded after the Soviet Union collapsed. Even if there was a hot war, I doubt we will use any of our expensive toys. We will be using nukes on each other.
Why do we even need an army anyways when we have nukes hehe.
...which means the US government is aware of and tolerating this (at the very least)
The Obama Administration is aware
Joe Biden
The problem appears to have originated during an appearance last week at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University when Biden spoke about Turkey, the UAE, other Middle Eastern allies, and the threat posed by the so-called Islamic State terror group, also known as ISIS or ISIL.
Biden told attendees that the militant Islamist group had been inadvertently strengthened by actions allies took to help opposition groups fighting against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
An American fighting ISIS on the ground?
"They poured hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of tons of weapons into anyone who would fight against Assad. Except that the people who were being supplied were al-Nusra and al-Qaeda and the extremist elements of jihadis coming from other parts of the world," Biden told students."
This past week, someone finally came up with a "reason" why the Obama administration had been so impotent at denting the Islamic State's well-greased oil machine. In an interview on PBS' Charlie Rose on Tuesday, Rose pointed out that before the terrorist attacks in Paris, the U.S. had not bombed ISIS-controlled oil tankers, to which the former CIA deputy director Michael Morell responded that Barack Obama didn’t order the bombing of ISIS’s oil transportation infrastructure until recently because he was concerned about environmental damage.
Yes, he really said that:
In other words, one can blame such recent outbreaks of deadly terrorist activity as the Paris bombings and the explosion of the Russian passenger airplane over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula on Obama's hard line stance to not pollute the atmosphere with the toxic aftermath of destroyed ISIS infrastructure.We didn’t go after oil wells, actually hitting oil wells that ISIS controls, because we didn’t want to do environmental damage, and we didn’t want to destroy that infrastructure.
What % of Americans know Turkey is backing ISIS?
