Fuckin' A

From Sadly No, this is some sick ass shit.

Amazing what folks of "prime military age" say from their non-volunteering asses. Let's make Iraq like South Africa:

Make no mistake: those means were cruel. I have stated previously that I endorse cruel things in war — to eschew them is folly. The British achieved victory over the Boers by taking their women and children away to concentration camps, by laying waste to the countryside, and by dotting the veld with small garrisons in blockhouses at regular intervals. The men who remained were hindered in their movements by the wire stretching from blockhouse to blockhouse (a phenomenon that the Morice Line experience has shown would be massively more effective now); they could either surrender or die. Absent women and children, the rules of engagement were lax. From implementation to victory took under 18 months. To accomplish this required over one-quarter million soldiers.


Nevermind the other absurdities of this whole fucking fact pattern (Quarter Million soldiers?) And, of course, as we know, the Boers took from this the lesson to NEVER detain or restrict the rights of people ever again.

Jeebus Christ these people are fucking nuts.
