I am fed to the teeth with islam and only hope we can stem its horrific cancer before it metastasizes throughout our entire society.
Ever hear of the Battle Of Britain?
Honestly.
Of course I’ve heard of the Battle of Britain. Have you heard of the Soviet rape of Germany or of Eisenhower’s murder of millions of German war veterans....the Allies wrote the history but there is a lot more than just Winston Churchill’s megalomania writings to be known.
doesn't matter, they're still legitimate targets.
When war is duly declared, it is not merely a war between this and the adverse government in their political characters. Every man is, in judgment of law, a party to the acts of his own government, and a war between the governments of two nations, is a war between all the individuals of the one, and all the individuals of which the other nation is composed. Government is the representative of the will of all the people, and acts for the whole society. This is the theory in all governments, and the best writers on the law of nations concur in the doctrine, that when the sovereign of a state declares war against another sovereign, it implies that the whole nation declares war, and that all the subjects of the one, are enemies to all the subjects of the other. Very important consequences concerning the obligations of subjects, are deducible from this principle.

IMHO, the government really screwed the pooch on 'legitimate war' since it has no legal authority to declare war on an ideology.
Megolomania,eh? Got ya’.
