Unpopular thoughts on a Saturday Evening - 5/28/16

1. (Posted on FB yesterday) A-bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved so many lives in the long run, both American and Japanese. An invasion of the Japanese Islands would have been costly for both nations. Truman made the right choice. We didn't start that war and Obama shouldn't be apologizing for something we didn't start. He should be here honoring our war dead on this Memorial Day weekend. Maybe the Pearl Harbor Memorial would have been more fitting.

2. The Navy has been experimenting with a railgun. First thought was to shrink it and start trials on tanks. Always the 19K thoughts going on in my head. But, maybe keep it the same size and make it orbital would be an idea also.

3. The #NeverTrump people's long multi-part screeds on twitter are so boring. Why do people RT them? At the very least come up with your own impassioned way of calling all us Trump voters boogerheads.

4. What I really love is when they say "We can fight Hillary!" They never fought Obama. Yep, not very credible #NeverTrump crowd. #NeverTrumps record of fighting liberals is one of the reasons they were rejected, but they still refuse to see it.

5. So, if Toyota acquires the terminator like robots of Boston Dynamics should we nuke their headquarters preemptively in case of Skynet? Obama can always apologize again.
Those robot animals are scary things in action. add a set of guns on the sides and claws and they could be badass. Everytime I see them the Terminator theme echoes in my head...bumbum-bumbumbum...bumbum-bumbumbum.

6. My wife went on the internet while the San Diego riots outside of the Trump rally were happening. She was cheering the cops on. But then again, when people attack while wielding foreign flags on American soil, who else should you cheer for? Her final thoughts on the matter..."I hope he builds that wall 100 feet high."

7. A lot of people think Trump is just an idiot or fool with a big mouth. They need to read Scott Adams series on the Master Persuader. Scott Adams has been consistently on target about Trump. Everything Trump does is calculated to redound to his favor.

8. Finally, in honor of Memorial Day weekend, I give you all the people who traveled to Iraq with me in 2005 for OIF III with the 155 BCT and did not return alive.
