Here come the Warmongers...
Saying that Obama is caving in to North Korea because he didn't run out and attack them. Look what I saw on Facebook:

A PRIMARY UNITED STATES ALLY HAS BEEN SAVAGELY ATTACKED.

WHAT WILL THE BOWING PRESIDENT DO? I WOULD NOT CARE SO MUCH WHERE HE WAS BORN IF HE ACTED LIKE A TRUE BLUE PATRIOT, IF HE HAD EVER VOLUNTEERED TO SERVE HIS NATION IN WAR, INSTEAD OF "COMMUNITY ORGANIZING."

My response:

If you had the sense that God gave a duck, you'd realize that NK is attacking to provoke a response from SK and us. That's the last thing that you want to do to a crazy dictator with nukes and the capability to deliver them to a major world capitol (Seoul). Most times, nations solve these issues by diplomacy rather than rushing out and attacking people.

1. Good response
I would have had to use "dumbass" "motherfucker" and probably "nitwit", all in the first sentence. It's also pretty obvious that Mr. Capslock has never served, or if he has, never served where he heard a shot fired in anger.

2. And maybe ask that same person to head to his local recruitment
office. I love the smell of chicken-hawk.

3. Actually it's capital
and would you consider what Japan did to Pearl Harbor just an attack to provoke a response that could be resolved by diplomacy?

4. What I would have said
"It's not patriotic to criticize the commander in chief in a time of war"

That's what they did for 7 and a half years.

7. I would certainly ask that poster what he/she did to server their nation...
And what their political heros like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al did to serve.

Funny how those who have the least skin in the game want the game more than anyone.
