People ask, I answer
People say to me “Hey Uncle, if you’re so smart, what would you do if you were the president?” And I say “Not play golf while my microphone is still warm”
So, this came up today at lunch. If I was president and a citizen was beheaded and it was put on youtube in a manner taunting America for being pussies. I thought for a few and basically said this:
I’d get 10 different special forces groups of different degrees of skill (not that one is better or worse, I’d just want some SEALs and Green Berets because their skill sets are different) and 10 sniper teams. I’d send them to the areas in Iraq that are controlled by ISIS. And I would tell them that their objective is not to secure shit. Not to monitor strategic any thing. We’re not taking towns, securing infrastructure or rescuing anyone. We’re not restoring peace.
Your goal is to kill terrorists. Kill all members of ISIS you encounter. Kill fucking terrorists. No hostages. Get a body count and move on. Kill them quickly and don’t play nice. Ignore borders. Then I’d disclose the body count in a weekly address to the nation.

Screw the Treaty. Bring back Napalm. Field Test it on ISIL. Bring Marshmallows.

Firehand,
And George W. Bush kept the borders open and didn’t stop immigration from Islamic countries. We were told we had “to fight’em there so we didn’t have to fight’em here”, but did NOTHING and now Obama does NOTHING to prevent them from coming here.
An objective reading of the Constitution, Article III, Section 3, along with Article IV, Section 4 would determine such a policy as treason

“Top service branch in terms of *verified* ISIL kills gets a non-earmarked budget increase equivalent to 10% of their SOF budget next year. Said increase will come out of the general non-earmarked budgets of the losing services, in proportion to their kill tallies.
