    James Hirsen makes a good point reference the Boko Haram hostage crisis. These celebrities keep asking for our girls back, but it's going to require troops, drones, and intelligence, the things they hate, to get them back.

    I agree. Hashtagging or whatever the heck that is, is not enough. You have to support US troops on the ground if you want those girls back. And every pundit I've seen talks as if that is a remote possibility. Why? You want to win the war on terror, you get these girls back, and you build a better school for them. Malala Yousef has had a greater effect on the outcome of our war on terror than any major battle we have fought. Get these girls back, and they will do the same. Authorize the troops; these people are our enemy in these wars we have been fighting for over a decade.

    Hashtagging is just attention whoring. Its a way to say "look at me I'm so great for having this opinion". Its not discussion its boasting.

    And I'll give a big HELL NO to sending American soldiers to Nigeria, they're not worth even one of our soldiers lives.

    People keep wondering how we defeat this radical Islamic movement. I guarantee you the answer is NOT to run. People like the ones in your picture are the same enemy we have faced all over the world for decades. They want control of the Nigerian government. Just like they want control of Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan, and more. Do nothing at your own peril, because the next phase after successful toppling of these govts is to unite those peoples against us. We should be fighting them where ever they are, like Bush promised them we would.

    How do you know that? What world are you living in? In my world, there is only one nation that has its business out there in the media and the internet. You don't know jack about anyone else but us, so it's a pretty unfair comparison.
