When are we going to stop letting these monsters do this crap?

IS Fighters Destroy 3,000-Year-Old Artefacts

The rampage in northern Iraq follows an attack on Mosul library in which thousands of rare manuscripts and books were burnt.

Maj Matt Hylton, you are just not understanding them. This is all part of the new jobs program State is creating for them. They will now be able to put hundreds of artists to work recreating those pieces destroyed.

On a side note, as an art major (for my bachelor's), this sickens me. So many ancient pieces will be lost because of their lust to return to the 16th century.

Maj Matt Hylton, seems as though you've chosen an unpopular topic....there is more interest in sharing clown faces and meme's vice addressing a situation which erased history right in front of us, a situation that could cause us to put boots on the ground. I got skin in the fight, not only mine but my sons as well. I don't share meme's with him, what we do is we discuss what is going on in the world though, what could impact him and see him deploying again at a very short notice.

I am beginning to wonder if this really is a "the U.S. Military's Professional Network" when the popularity of the jokes and clown faced meme's shadow the reality of what our younger Service Members are facing.

It GEN Casey really a RP Advisor? To consider that fact and think this is what he would condone as to what he thinks right looks like....that we laugh at the seriousness of this situation and continue to use memes as seniors using repulsive and obscene language that we preach at our younger service members not to do. This site is becoming a ridiculous collection of hypocrisy.
