Which proves he might not clinically be a sociopath. He just played one on TV.

And if he really felt bad, he turn himself in at The Hague.

That'll start off the day right.

Yeah, he and Pol Pot, and too many others, died in their beds, being taken care of and comforted. That ain't right. If this keeps up, I may begin to doubt the basic fairness of the world.

I had flat feet AND a trick knee, but I still served in the late Sixties, walking around a SAC flightline, making sure the B-52 under my care was ready to go fight WW3 on fifteen minute's notice.

Right, securing my freedom. That's why we went to Iraq. I'll just put that at the bottom of the list after WMDs and "fight them over there so they don't come over here". Yep, freedom. Meanwhile congress keeps passing legislation that makes us less free.

It'll happen just as soon as the military industrial complex can figure out how to make trillions of dollars off educating people.

Actually, I'm confused on the Russians. Do the Wingnuts fear and hate them because they don't understand that something changed in 1989-91; or do they love them because Big Bad Vlad is STRONK, LIKE BULL?

Or I-81, where the truckers are even more at war with each other and everyone else. There's a reason why Virginians thought "Mad Max: Fury Road" was about I-81.

You of course get to name it for yourself, but my fwiw is this: I don't think that's cowardice, what you described. Sounds to me more like fear, which is, obviously, an emotion. Cowardice is an action, a failure to do what one ought to in the face of danger. (Thanks, Aristotle!) I don't think you were obligated to stay out of the war, so your decision to go isn't a violation of any duty out of fear. But this is getting all too technical, and I apologize for that. In conclusion:The Wonketverse is very fucking glad you went and came back and are here to bag up the rat dicks. It's the holidays, so we have lots of orders for them.
