Politicians should at least SOUND like professionals, even if they aren't.
As for the Violence to end all Violence.

To be so outrageously undiplomatic in public, makes him look worse than Ariel Sharon on a bad day. Or that North Korean leader. Attitudes like that make me cringe.

For those of you who missed the message I posted from that Special Ops man; read it again. You armchair warriors who are defending only your ideals, and don't have to get down and dirty with your hands or thoughts.

"Manhood", my foot.
