Let’s start with a simple question. What happens when a soldier runs out of ammunition during a firefight? First, he either retreats, or he quickly becomes killed, wounded or captured. Second, his tactical position converts from active to indefensible which imperils the strategic array of the entire battlefield.

What do you call a submarine that runs out of torpedoes? Missing in action. That’s an old Navy joke that dates back to WWII. However the fundamental military concept remains true: without the ability to attack your enemy and inflict serious damage, you’re unable to influence any subsequent events on the battlefield. The military has a term for any ship or combat unit that cannot defend itself, “Useless as tits on boar.”

Sure, why not. It’s not like the cold war is still on or anything....

Or that CW II is about to commence.

>Somebody here please tell me Obama isn’t really a Muslim hell bent on destroying us.<

.
Steffie Stephanopoulos corrected Obama, when he said he was a Muslim, and admonished him that he was a Christian.

Ask Steffie to get to the truth.

I remember. My Muslim faith. Steffy had to correct his slip.
