Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

Why do they always sound like spoiled children? Deadly spoiled, but still sounding like brats who need a good spanking. I really get tired of ‘measured response’ and the current rules of engagement. I say Willie Pete, napalm, and and a few FAE drops and let’s call it a day.
thats just funny. Like the part where he spoke on condition of anonymity…Methinks hes scared…we’ll eat him too
I love it, Lex. You know, the way you don’t have an opinion on this, back away from it so to speak.
“Killed him and took him home to eat him.”
“You’re next.”
I love it! OUTSTANDING!!!
“He was a good man, and a very moist man too…”
There’s just nothing out there that can’t be made better with hot sauce!
Where are the Bengal Lancers when you need them?
The Army ought to sew the dead bodies of every al-Q they can get hold of into the skins of how ever many hogs it takes to truss ‘em up good and keep ‘em salty and preserved, and then put ‘em on display in a “Green Zone Hall of Tribute to Terrorists”… maybe a traveling version for Af?
Is it really desecration of a corpse if it isn’t damaged, just wrapped up in pork products?
Anyone have some Fava beans and a nice Chianti?
John McClane: [fighting Karl] You !@#$%^&*()_+, I’m gonna kill you! I’m gonna !@#$%^’ cook you, and I’m gonna !@#$%^& eat you!
Maybe ‘take him home and mount him’, but “eat him” sounds awful….have you ever smelled those guys? Yuk.
Not to cast dispersions upon the masses assembled, but “take him home and mount him” might have the casual readership conjuring visions of something other than taxidermy. Besides, who’d want Mahmoud Ibn Wierd-Beard’s face on their wall over the mantle or bookshelf? Just doesn’t really lend itself as a conversation piece while awaiting supper, you know?
“So, Lex, did ya bag this one on your last safari?”
“Yeah. Real tough one too — kept jabbering about how we were going to taste retaliation, fire will rain on us, we’ll suffer a thousand deaths, etc… Heck, I was chuckling so hard I almost missed watching the secondaries go off.”
“So, pretty much a case of picking off a scavenger?”
“Ya, but this one made threats! Wiggled his beard at me! He wasn’t giving up without a fight!”
No, better to post them in public that their peers can see them, rather than in one’s home and suffer one’s dinner companions to such a display.
Besides, I’m sure it’d do nothing for the feng suey of the living room.

Well, if a singing mounted Bass can be a big seller, how about having the ‘preserved’ x-terrorist spouting toothless threats on demand? Might be a good idea for the upcoming give gifts days.

Saayyyy……..
I’d like two please; one for the garage and one for the rec room.
Singin “Hit me with your best shot….”
If we spread the rumor that all our bullets and frags have a light coating of pork, the jihadis will have the additional fear that they will be unclean upon death and cannot enter paradise.
A strip of bacon would do wonders with the thought processes of a suicide bomber.
Surely this is what you’re referring to but Pershing did a whole lot to end the Moro insurrection in the PI by publicly taking captured insurgents to the town square, making them dig their own mass graves, killing them and dumping them into the grave, then dumping pig’s blood and entrails into the grave before filling it with dirt. There’s nothing work with using your enemies superstitions and beliefs/values against them. Believe me they are doing it to us. Know your enemy and all that . . .
There’s a place for all God’s creatures… right next to the mashed taters and gravy.
So, you’ve been to the Saskatoon Restaurant? Fine eating there, yes, siree! Had the T Shirt, but wore it out, wearing it…
Full disclosure: I ate at a discount, sister was hostess there for years….and I got the T as a freebie!
If you’re in Greenville, SC, don’t not go there!
xformed,
Sadly, no. I saw it on a bumper sticker and being a hunter/gatherer, it resonated with me. We’ll be sure to check out the Saskatoon next we’re in that neck of the woods.

“The al-Shabab commander, who spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak publicly”. Well duh, call me a ter-risk, call me a chicken $hit, call me a wuss, but don’t call me stew-ped. Yep, brave men all; one gets whacked and they are scurrying like roaches seeing the Raid can. Just turn the SEALS loose and tell them “$250 bounty per head”.
Nah, tell ‘em free beer, cool shades, and hot chicks
That would get a far better response. As Richard Marcinko used to say “doom on you!”
So Lex … tell us how you really feel, cuz I’m a little unclear on your point. Can you please clarify?
Edward, I’m appalled at your total lack of respect for those poor misguided people’s religion. Don’t you know that your suggestion could be considered torture? Forget it. I can’t stop laughing to finish my sarcasm. Let’s face it, the next guy in line is going to have a problem finding life insurance.
G-man, make it $5000 per head. It will still be cheap at that price.

Truth in reporting, and all.

Old Twilight Zone episode title:
‘Serving Humans’
hornetgunner/
Wasn’t the title of the book the aliens left laying around titled “100 Ways to Serve Man” that when the “earthlings” first only managed to translate the title everyone thought ‘how nice” but then when they totally broke the code were horrified to find out it was a cookbook? (IIRC the TZ episode was based on a previously published sci-fi short story which I had actually read a few years previously.)
I think that was actually “To Serve Man”, an alien cookbook.
It was called “To Serve Man”

Tempting as it is, guys and girls, to put a permanent end to these unevolved creatures, I think your consciences will be more clear, and the good Lord will forgive us more easily, if we revive the grand old custom of putting miscreants in ‘the stocks’ on the village green, or town park, where the public can bring their rotten tomatoes, gone-by vegetables and excess eggs for disposal. Perhaps a guard or two will be necessary so that the more enthusiastic folks don’t shoot to kill, but think of the satisfaction of expressing your contempt, and not having to go to jail for it.
I must admit, though, that defenestrating the little darlings over their homeland from a plane 10,000 feet up is also an attractive possibility. OOOPs — how did that happen?
Marianne, who is a little cranky today …
As long as “The One” and his leftist cohort want to run a catch and release war I’m all in favor of giving the SEALs and 160th SOAR no limits licenses and an unlimited open season.
After all, the recidivism rate is zero.
And all the “free” ammo they need…open tab at the armory…
Um, Marine6, if I read the reports correctly, this strike had to be authorized at the highest level.
So maybe, just for once, we give Barry a (small) pat on the back.
I bet he tasts like Sheite.
Couldn’t help it!
Read the post and laughed my a$$ off again. Definitely hall of fame post material here. Awesome contents…taste like sheite…
Pardon me, would you happen to have any Grey Poupon? My terrorist is a bit gamey…

Don’t hold back now……
Don’t want to put any stress on you’re “dark little heart” by holding it all in, now do we?
This month’s NatGeo has an article on Mogadishu. Much changed for the worse since my last visit in 90. Not sure they will ever resurrect themselves from the burning dung heap they’ve built/permitted. Time for a country-wide Carthaginian solution.
Damn subsunk, can’t spell anymore: “your” dark little heart…
