The killer general

It is true indeed that the women in Afghanistan were very harshly treated by the Taliban. But the question is who gave the US permission to shoot them and "solve" the problem? And when it comes to the question of manhood, would the US general kindly answer how "Manly" it is to fight against a group of poorly equipped people who are outnumbered and has almost no means of resistance? And how "Manly" it is to drop bombs from a very safe distance on schools and houses and kill thousands of innocent women and children? Would the general kindly explain how heroic it is to make children orphan overnight? And speaking of manhood, everybody is aware of US commitment to manhood in the Iraqi prisons. Not only the US soldiers' sickly attitude towards the prisoners proved them to be the worst kind of sexual perverts but also reflected their generals' courageous (?) leadership and truly represented their idea of "fun".

Killing and abusing innocents may be fun to Mattis, but it is crime to us. And criminals will get punished today or tomorrow.
