A little help

[elwoodblues]

Can someone help me understand the mentality of someone like this? Thinking it's fun to shoot people is a little too psychopathic for my liking.

"Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot," Mattis said, prompting laughter from some military members in the audience. "It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you. I like brawling.

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis said. "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."

Why? Do you really care wheter or not I was joking or if I was serious? Look at it like a poker decision.
1) Most terrorists who want to kill Americans are towelheads. Let us assume that the ratio is 10 to 1.
2) The chances of killing a terrorist by killing a towelhead is greater than by killing a Scandanavian.
3) For every million towelheads we kill we eliminate 100,000 terrorists.
4) It only makes sense that for our own self survival that we go all-in.

Now I may be serious or not!

yes, i do care if you're joking or not. i was close to putting you on my 'whackjob' list- which currently has only one person on it (care to geuss who?).

as a poker descision it would still be -EV, i think for every million towelheads we kil we probably create more than 100k terrorists. i think we should bet as a semi bluff and then check-call (which is pretty much what we've done). even though i'm a liberal i know that we can't fold.

did i just say towelhead? i meant camel jockey. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

KIDDING!

He is joking, but the degree of racism that attends to wars or "wars" is underestimated. We (and most countries and cultures) dehumanize and demonize our enemies. They become "gooks" or "japs" or "reds." They have little or no value for human life. Thus it becomes much easier to exterminate the brutes.

I heard Laura Ingraham (sp.?) defending the comments on her radio show this morning. She said you want a military guy who wants to kill people.

One would expect a certain degree of wackoism among the military brass.

Helluva hoot.

Well, what is a military's main operating method? Clearly, killing people. So, I would say whoever is in charge of the military should want to kill people.

It certainly is a psychopathic mentality tho.

It was also interesting to read that the crowd reacted with laughter.

[TransientR]

Well, it was a crowd of defense contractors, creating things that kill people is their bread-and-butter.
