Hey, at least it's not going 6,600 mph. 
Watch out for that!

Video shows hypersonic rocket sled speeding down a track at 6,599 mph
The U.S. Air Force released video last week of one of its latest hypersonic sled tests. The footage shows the sled traveling more than one mile per second on a track in rural New Mexico.
Sixteen million Americans served in World War II. Fewer than 490,000 are still alive. The oldest just turned 110.
Trump confirms ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been killed
Donald Trump announced Sunday morning that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi 'died like a dog' as the result of a U.S. Special Ops forces raid on his hideout in northwest Syria.
Longstanding White House protocol dictates that after military raids are conducted, the President gives details to Congressmen of both parties before informing the American public. Of course we have a President who never follows protocol. Oн предатель.
Upon being cornered by US troops on October 27, ISIL caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and three of his children ran into a tunnel. Al-Baghdadi then detonated a suicide vest. At a press conference, Trump said al-Baghdadi was "whimpering and crying and screaming all the way." It wasn't true.
"We are the Few, the Proud, the Marines – and you're getting rained on while we stay dry! Neener neener neener!"
They had that same pic on the CNN version of the story, with video.
My takeaway from it was I thought it was cool President Obama and that other guy stood out in the rain for a few mins before the Marines came over with the umbrellas. IDK, it seems to me that the President is too important to be rained on and that Marine should have been there from the beginning, not his fault but poor planning by aides. The President shouldn't have to ask for an umbrella.
Another thing I've learned recently, as I've been pulling Marine-type umbrella carrying duty quite often these days, is that black women with straight hair are really adverse to any sort of rain conditions...even the slightest drizzle. Apparently their shit will fro up in like half a second if even one drop touches it.

The decision to send people to war is one that should be taken seriously. It should be a last resort. After diplomacy has broken down. And only if we have a winning strategy.
Even if we "Win" a war, doesn't mean we come out better than before. The lose of life is only a small park. The lasting effects of those who come home, last a lifetime.
When our politicians use war as a way to keep military contractors busy and profitable, then I have a problem. Not only are our tax dollars going to fund senseless war, but then we're obligated to pay for anything we destroy.
