Millennials are also wanting boots on the ground against ISIS - just not their own boots.
Maybe, we'll have to resort to a draft, like we had to do back when their daddies were trying to stay out of Vietnam.
Ugh - the Democrats seem to love conscription, from Woodrow Wilson to Lyndon Johnson to Jimmy Carter (reinstated registration) and Obamneycare and Mark Shields. Here's a thought: if we don't have enough volunteers to wage war in the middle east, then the obvious solution is to STOP WAGING WAR in the middle east. Let AF/DBOAPD sort it out - he'll know what to do.

But that would be like voting, which is Unamerican! What's next, paying for the hospital care of those who do volunteer so that they don't die after coming home? Damn entitled veterans.
Michael Bolton is only good at telling people what they want to hear, but the guy isn't a man of action. He blames gay chindian billionaires for his difficulties in life but is silent on all the threads pertaining to Islam. Damn chindian billionaires and their sexual preferences...if it hadn't been for them, poor whiny Bolton would be shitting gold bricks by now
Lef AF/DBOAPD sort it out - he'll know what to do.
Voting matters... Good one, keep em coming

coup de gras
That typo was funny on so many levels. Gras(french)==Fat(english). coup de gras = “strike of greaseâ€. Yeah, those fat boomerfucks strike again.
Let them eat liverwurst, I say.

ISIS could be handled with a bounty system.
$1000 a scalp or two of four limbs.
Who would't want to pack up the M134 and see what you could bring home during a few weeks vacation blowing jihadi fucks the fuck away?
I know you are jesting, but for those who did not get the joke: Remember what happened last time we put a bounty on terrorists and "foreign fighters". That's right, enterprising Afghans of many political colors rounded up any brown-skinned foreigner they could find and sold them to the CIA. The innocent are now dying a slow death in Guantanmo Bay. Our capitalist Gulag Guantanamo in the archipelago of Cuba is every bit as bad as what the Soviets had.

Gosh, you caught me!
Don't forget we have impressionable and childlike minds here.

"For the first time in America’s history, an entire generation of her citizens is poorer, more indebted, and less employed than the preceding generations.
That generation is the Millennials – our generation.
The culprit, say some social commenters, are Millennials themselves. In this telling, we are a lazy cohort of entitled and narcissistic brats– the proverbial “Generation Me.†But this is a classic case of blaming the victim....
...The truth: The economic tragedy of the Millennial generation was written before many of us had even learned to read – by Baby Boomer parents and grandparents who, at once, genuinely love and care for us, but have also created or perpetuated institutions, policies, and economic realities that have now hobbled us.
Our generation has been called “entitled.†We beg to differ. If any generation is entitled, it’s our parents’ and grandparents’ generation: the Baby Boomers.
True entitlement is tripling the national debt since the 1980s and using the proceeds to spend lavishly on tax cuts and government programs that primarily provided short-term economic boosts, while refusing to raise the Social Security age of retirement or to reduce benefits, even as the gluttonous program careens toward unsustainability.
True entitlement is allowing the reasonable minimum wage that Baby Boomers enjoyed when they were our age to deteriorate while opting to cut taxes on the gains from stocks and bonds that they accrued during periods of debt-driven economic and stock-market surges – creating an economy where wage earners at all income levels, as of 2012, receive a smaller portion of economic output at any time since 1929.
True entitlement is, for decades, enjoying the benefits of the lowest energy costs in the world while refusing to price-in the external costs of carbon emissions, exacerbating the real changes to our planet that pose profound risks to the environment and economy for which Millennials will soon be the primary stewards.
These grave consequences were entirely foreseeable – but they happened. Young Americans have been fleeced in order to fund the transient excesses of the old – and yet Milliennials are labeled “entitled†because we were given “participation trophies†and “personal tutors†before we were old enough to vote...?
Give us a break. Millennials are not entitled. But we are frustrated....
