Back up a bit there! There was not? Then why did I spend the better part of my life practicing at the shooting range and learning how to prepare molotov cocktails, when all this time I could've been doing something useful? Like staying in the kitchen, looking pretty and having baby after baby?

Why don't you just shoot me, now that you've told me I've wasted my life Faints
Yeah, I know...what a waste, huh...

Oh I don't know if that's really a waste, a female that spent the majority of her time at the shooting range and/or manufacturing IEDs would have a hell of a good shot at spending the -rest- of her time in the kitchen, looking pretty and watching children (if thats where she wants to take it)......if I get to be the one deciding such things.....
(I do get to decide such things yes...I can whip out my dick if thats part of the job description for "decider of things"....)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Decide (and whip stuff out) at your own peril - I can wield a knife as well as the next homicidal loony. So if you do not mind losing certain parts of your anatomy - whip away, son, whip away...
But the eternal dilemma - how can we be happy amid the unhappiness of others?

As soon as someone or some group is against something

It emidiatly turns into: WAR on something

WAR on christmans, for example.

Would be very weird if this kind of vocabulary would be used in german media.

Krieg dem was auch immer!!!

It's a sign of a wish thinking people, willing to be led by the nose if the slogan seems right and danger to self seem minimal, and eager to be patted on the back for accomplishment that are neither substantive nor their own, secretly stroking themselves while fantasizing about being great, tough and valiant.

Hence all the eagerness to play warrrr where not a single drop of their own blood is at risk. If one is not brave enough to live an exciting life, at least one could experience excitement vicariously by naming mundane things after warrrrrr....

War on those that offend my inner prude. War on someone to make me feel good. war on smelly arm pits, war on dirty laundry, war on that ant colony under the drive way.

Not really.

There is a 'concerted effort by Republicans to demote women in America back to second-class citizens', but 'war on women' gets the message across more succinctly.

No...that would be the democrats who demote women in America back to second-class citizens...the democrats play on the notion that women can't think beyond their uterus...

Yes, and up is down, black is white, and the sky is whatever color I want it to be.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
