Theater of Violence

"Now, we don't make policy here, gentlemen. Elected officials, civilians, do that."
--Cmdr Mike 'Viper' Metcalf (Top Gun)

Politics is where hypocrisy thrives.  Another case study being written involves partisans who espouse to be anti-war turning their hats around when it is a foe, in this case President Trump, who wants to dial back the US war machine in the Middle East. Naturally, those who side with the president become targets of wrath as well.

I feel sorry for @BetteMidler

Imagine being this out of touch with reality.

Imagine wishing physical harm on someone you’ve never met.@RandPaul is one of the most decent, humble leaders in DC’s history

This type of rhetoric helps no one. https://t.co/pURxZkR0yy

No need to take it personally, though. Say a prayer for those people, and then stick to the issue--as does Rand Paul below. If it is war that you want, then follow the constitutional channel: debate the issue on the floor of Congress and obtain support legitimately.

"If Democrats want to send our young men and women to fight in the Syrian civil war, let's have that debate. By all means, let's have the constitutional debate today on the Senate floor right here, right now,' @RandPaul said. " https://t.co/gQwZwV6NIV

Another approach is to become a mercenary yourself. Hire yourself out to the army of your choice and fight for their cause. Don't force others into your theater of violence.
