Beer Summit Truth

Smoking Ban in Military?

Apparently a study suggested that we ban all tobacco usage by anyone in a U.S. military uniform.

This is completly rediculous. Anyone who supports this is simply out of their minds. Of course, one arguement in favor indicates the health care costs associated. I don’t give a shit about health care costs. If you are going to ask someone to fight under a government flag, then I think that they can smoke a cigarette.

The study also has some blah blah blah about military readiness in the short term. Well I don’t think it affected those soldiers in WWII to negatively. This is just extreme crap. If your life is on egde daily, smoke if you want to.

I swear. It won’t ever end. And you know what is even worse about this. The extreme liberals support this, and the extreme conservatives (Christian Conservatives) support it as well. It’s total crap. Neither party recognizes the baby steps to lost freedoms. Lost individuality. Lost right-to-do-whatever-the-hell-I-want-while-being-shot-at-in-a-combat-zone.

Obama Investigates Former Friend.

Obama is ordering a National Security team to investigate the slayings of thousands of taliban fighters. The murders came at the hands of an exceptionally accomplished Afghan Warlord, General Abdul Rashid Dostum. General Dostum has been allied with the U.S. for some time. I recall that when Obama was in congress General Dostum was the first person in line to meet with the Illinois Senator, before he even met with President Karzai.

We have been so chummed up with this warlord for so long, and now Obama acts like he didn’t know anything about it. Who cares if he killed a few thousand Taliban. We kill them every day. And they kill our guys every day. What good is his investigation going to do? Is he going to file charges against an Afghan warlord (actually we did take one into custody after we invited him to NY for a visit). But come on, this is bullshit. It’s just media crap that gives good headlines that look like he’s somehow investigating some Bush crime. So he can feed the far left a scrap.

In the real world people die. Sometimes a lot of them. And this particular warlord is noted for ruling with an iron fist, and fighting the Taliban since the Ruskies left.

Netflix and North Korea.

You know what’s funny. I bet that Sunday night mark’s peak traffic for netflix almost everyweek. But all of the sudden today their site goes down. Very strange indeed. I wonder if it’s due to the server burden from a heavy Sunday, or maybe those dang North Korean hackers.

You never know.

But I’ll tell you what I do know. If it is those dang North Korean Hackers I bet people will pay attention now. No one really minds much when our CIA, NSA, pentagon, and White House sites are being attacked. I think that cyber attacks can now basically be considered an act of war. Perhaps we should go after those bastards. No. Not Perhpas. We should. It’s an act of war in my mind. I say send a cruise missle to the heart of their electrical grid. That’d show em how much we like our Netflix.
