Accordingly, James Baker is famously quoted as saying, "Fuck 'em, they didn't vote for us!" That being the case, I have been deemed for "not serious". However, I did call for Congressional consideration of a Declaration of War where such a discussion regarding the "unassailable facts" could take place. But not meant to be since Congress approved their resolution to use military force. Consequently, "gullibility" had political force from a negative standpoint.
So, those who argue "macho" are more than welcome to lace up the combat boots and strap on the body armor, and test themselves for"macho-ness". Thus, anyone can participate in the "surge" and "escalation" when it first starts with our troops in Afghanistan. In doing so, this will confirm that Bush is going back to his original playbook. In short, the Principle of Incompetence continues, and yet, we are destined to create the non-defensive version of the All-Voluntary Army, and to wit, famously known as the "All-Offensive, All-the-Time" Army.
And that is where "macho" will take us all. Sad, indeed.
