Thinking he was praising U.S. military forces by calling them “one of the finest fighting forces the world has ever known,” President Obama was shocked that some would take issue with his “one of” phrasing.
“A lot of people around the world have been abused by American troops,” Obama asserted. “They don’t think American fighting forces are in the least bit ‘fine.’ I put this criticism aside for one day and I get grief. You just can’t please some people.”
“Of course, from a historical perspective, one must acknowledge the achievements of other fighting forces—some of which dwarf anything U.S. troops have accomplished,” the President added. “To cite one example, the Mongols under Genghis Khan were able to conquer Asia, killing an estimated 40 million using only primitive weapons. Better armed American forces haven’t come close to duplicating this feat. And let’s not forget that American troops got whipped by the Viet Cong. On balance, I think I was being generous in my praise.”

Nothing but contempt for this POS and the JACKASSES who put it in office.
Satire, but close to the truth
“Satire, but close to the truth”
and therein lies the brilliance of John Semmens’s semi-news semi-satire.
Thanks John, you almost had me going off on a rant again :)
It’s satire. He didn’t really say that
I spotted it as satire right away. It was entirely too positive about our military to have been the druggie's actual words.
Almost......almost.
John,
Please remove me from your ping list. It’s so much more fun when I come across your pieces unexpectedly.

The Mongols were a peace-loving nomadic pastoral people who kept to themselves till they had been provoked by Muslim incursions in to their homeland. Before Islam, there is no record of a Mongol invasion anywhere, neither do we hear of Mongol ruthlessness. But when the Mongols were provoked by the Muslims, their instincts for self-preservation were aroused and they slaughtered their Muslim tormentors by the millions - literally at Tabriz, Shiraz and Baghdad. History will repeat itself. Muslim tormentors including this POS and the liberal JACKASSES who put him in office.
It was close enough to the beliefs that he and his fellow JACKASSES have uttered on more than one occasion.
Those little puffs of smoke should be relocated a few inches above the seat, but other than that it’s great.
Love it.
Another good one John.

Darn you John! I started to chase the lure for just a moment before looking up at the byline.
Er, uh,... I don't think it was the troops. If anything, it was the people like LBJ, Robert McNamara, Alex "I'm in charge!" Haig, with other politicians and diplomats, who were misled by leftist radicals that were stoked by traitors like Walter Cronkite, John Kerry and Jane Fonda.

LOVE THIS. Like being a fly on the wall right there in the WH Oval office.
Unexpected and unprecedented. - Just like usual.
