As sad as this may sound, the following is not sarcasm...
What we have here is the factoring in of one of the largest, most overwhelming, and scary of the sub-cultures we have in America.
The Politically Correct Faction.
It's ok in their minds to wipe out hundreds of innocents with collateral damage. That's part of war.. it's ok.
It's fine to retaliate against a military act of aggression. Kill thousands of your own troops to depose a 'regime'.. that's perfectly fine.
But, whatever you do, for GOD's SAKE, don't hurt anybody's FEELINGS!!!
They'll sue. They'll litigate. They'll make the hardest of the educational superintendants a mass of quivering goo in the face of their onslaught of equality and 'fairness'.
They will bring upon the forces that will force the BOY scouts to accept GIRLS.
They will prevent any rewards to children that actually excel, because those that don't might feel bad.
They will block the usage of a religious specific term, in the fear that those who don't follow the same beliefs will, somehow, become convinced they are put upon and oppressed.
So.. wage war for no real reason, slaughter people by the thousands, but, whatever you do, those you are pounding MUST feel good about themselves.
We are sooooooo doomed..
