Whiskey Pete, as the news unfolds about the DC Guardsmen shooting . . . . [View all]

Metal pot and liner on his coiffed hair, chin straps flapping in the breeze. A bayonet gripped in nis teeth, ammo belt bandoliers on both of his broad shoulders. I his hands, at the ends of bare muscled arms if a big hands holding a commandeered 50 cal machine gun taken from a tank.

Bravely, so very bravely, he surges an additional 500 troops

And the world is impressed at the decisive action of our Secretary of War. Then they ak: "what the fuck are 500 more Guardsmen going to do?

Really, what do we need another 500 troops for? Street sweeping? School closing guard duty?
