Sooner or later , it will happen. Be it North Korea, or ISIS, or some other rogue
nation/organisation they will cobble together a crude, low yield nuclear weapon.
It will bring us to our knees in the area that they want to cripple us. In the ISIS case, the backlash against Islam in Europe will, I fear, be incalculable. Will it get any worse - you bet it will. ISIS has sprung /jumped out of the box and it's going to be quite difficult putting it back.

Simple answer... Damn right!
I am old enough to remember when reporters actually reported the news as it happened. Today MOST of the networks only report news that fits their narrative. Most networks only show news clips that are approved by the left as fitting their narrative.
When I saw the Twin towers fall I was so upset at what those cowardly assholes did that if given the chance I would have signed up to go and fight that same day. I am not a violent man but I am a patriot and a christian and I will fight till the end for what I believe in! The problem with America and many other countries is that we worry more about being PC and offending 1 or 2 people than saying or doing the right thing!
The above is my opinion... I will not fault anyone for theirs as I respect different opinions.
If you want to mock my views please do so in person... I can always use a little exercise, if I get my ass kicked I will take it like a man and compliment you on a job well done, please remember to do the same.

Frankly - I don't think media reporting has been worth a crap since these days:

Even then, there were times that they were just gagged...

Very graphic and accepted by the people of the day, but most are condemning Fox News, why do you think?
Accepted by the people of the day??? You must not have been around or watching the news in the 60's and 70's... They were outraged! I won't get into what Hanoi Jane did for us, but we were spat on, called baby killers, shunned from what seemed like every corner of the Earth and made to feel like anything but heros or protectors of freedom... There were demonstrations in literally every city in America and Europe etc..
My point was that for the most part, news was not created in ivory tower offices, it was simply reported from the fields.. Tom Jennings, Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite and dozens more were true reporters. They slept in fox holes with us, ate the same rations as us, shared their time with us. They were just as scared and brave as we were. There were atrocities yes, but by and large the public was never allowed to see them. Some haunt us still many years later..
To the point though - the media today sells and does today only what drives their ratings up and now what drives their click-streams up.. Seemingly all but FOX NEWS decided that enough was enough and held back on making that video public... I hope that the @hole at Fox that made that choice does not lose his job, because if he does, he will likely go and infect yet another news organization and that will only make matters worse. As of right now, FOX NEWS is not welcome in my home..

That's what the antiwar, hide in Canada people did. There were plenty of patriotic Americans. I didn't see the video, but I don't have a problem with it. People need to know, they need to see just what these peaceful wonderful people are capable of.
Well stated Randy...

What I meant by accepted by the people of the day Randy was not the Vietnam war, but the reporting of it on television and graphically as well. The evening news was always full of what was happening in Vietnam and played no small part in turning the populace against it.
BTW I was also spat upon.
