I think it's insulting to those that die, for our leaders to jump alll over gun control as the standard resonse. To me, that qualifies as the willful ignorance of which you speak. Hell, Obama still won't even utter the words islamic terrrorist.
A thousand missions a day is useless without specific targets and Intel. But yeah, we should totally due that instead of acting like such wimps.
Lol at "Islamic terrorist" - as though somehow saying that makes everything better.
Gun control is hard, so let's focus on *realistic* goals like building giant walls, banning an entire faith and deporting 11 million people. Vote for Trump!

I actually wrote an article to the editor of the local paper about dirt bags aka terrorists in early 2003 (just before the start of the Iraq war) where I offered "How do we know when we have won?" in light of the fact that we had been fighting the war on drugs for several years and that finish-line was undefined., is this one any different?
We as a country are accustomed to knowing what it takes to win. Not so here and certainly not so going forward. There are no easy answers.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
What y'all don't know is that Obama has promised to clean @JohnInCarolina s minimax once out of office. You can't change his mind until Feb 2017. Then in sure he'll be more open minded on the egg forum.

You have to have "Measures of Success" to define if we are winning or not or how far off we are. Elections, more populace involved eithe the government and general increase of security would be my big three.
We must confiscate 300 million guns but deporting 10-15 million illegal aliens is to hard every time it's said I laugh. -

I don't think there are any easy answers. What bothers me is that we're incapable as a society of discussing risks, statistics, and cost/benefits.
Talking prevention more gun control laws wouldn't have helped just take a look at San Bernadino. Beyond mass gun confiscations the only truly way to stop this from happening is to be armed yourself or depend on someone who is that hopefully is there when it happens.
We have family in Wisconsin who live in a small town and got the Allah Akbar phone call. The police responded immediately and caught Muslims cruising down the street looking for his house with guns with the intent to kill him and his family.
I got the same phone call here south of DC but it took the police 30 minutes to get to my house and I live 5 miles from their station. If I did depend solely on the police for protection myself and my family if it wasn't a prank call could be dead if I didn't exercise the 2nd Amendment.

Haven't read it. I tend to enjoy a more balanced read. Not a one sided story to fit what I want to read which sounds exactly like something up your alley. Find something that will go with what you probably already think and have heard.... Sounds like a biased snooze fest sorry....

Tonight CBS had a fairly long interview with the shooter's ex-wife, and from what she said it sounded like he had a pretty severe mental illness, and was a very disturbed homophobe, so this thing was maybe a combined case of hate crime/mental/radicalized by religion.
The part that bothers me is that he's worked for a US Government contractor, in Security, for many years and had even been interviewed on suspicions, twice (here, being a little less PC may be required). His access to semi-auto weapons should have been more highly regulated.
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, after all, requires it.___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."

I guess I missed the post where you mentioned a specific book.
"Level Zero Heroes"?
The way you wrote that sentence "Level zero heroes" I didn't grok that as the title of a book. I just thought that was meant as snark directed at JIC.
Haven't read the book but did just read a bunch of reviews of it. Books like that have been written about every war in oh...the last couple hundred years. FUBAR has likely been a part of all warfare for thousands of years.
I'm not sure what that book highlights as being unique to our never-ending undeclared "Global War on Terrorism". Of course, since I haven't read it I also cannot say what "solutions" the author might proffer.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -

You have to give people the right to self defense or stuff like Orlando happens.
In my area with the OPM data breach they just go down the list prank calling Alkah Akbar people. When we were talking to the police the night it happened they said they literally get multiple phone calls a night. Whoever does it uses an app that's untraceable with the software the police have.
Believe me or not my point is if someone is attempting to kill you Id rather have the right to be armed then have to wait on someone who is to respond.
The night club was a gun free zone by state law. Nobody could protect themselves legally if they wanted to.
