As Sun Tzu advises, know yr enemy: Bannon

He deeply desires a war and has a frightening hatred for those who aren't judeo-christian (his term), especially muslims, but also atheists and secularists.


“Steve is a strong militarist, he’s in love with war—it’s almost poetry to him,” Jones told The Daily Beast in an interview last year, well before Trump won the election and Bannon landed his new job. “He’s studied it down through the ages, from Greece, through Rome... every battle, every war… Never back down, never apologize, never show weakness… He lives in a world where it’s always high noon at the O.K. Corral.”

3. Not being a good chess player, that's my strategy. I do well but my end game sucks.

Better players who watched me play with others have told me I have potential.

But I don't have the patience or depth in the game of chess to really be any good at any level.

I could never win the end game.

I could dominate most of the game and come close.

But I always lost. Throughout history we have beat fascists down again and again and again.

Bannon may be smart. But he's an idiot.

that would be the question.

fuck these guys that sat in their parents basements during the VietNam war, the Operation Enduring Freedom or even the gauddam Grenada bullshit. Has he been shot at? Has he had to shoot someone else in order to stay alive?

For some reason, I doubt it.

On edit. I see he was on a Navy vessel as a surface warfare officer. what ever the fuck that is. Where was he when the USS Cole got hit? Was he ever shot at?

7. Actually the question is whether someone has served, there is rarely a war for someone to serve in

and even when there is, few see combat in them.
