TSO sent me this link because I absolutely refuse to troll Veterans Today<\/a> for Gordon Duff stories. But today, Duff warns us that the missile we were all so concerned about last week, was, indeed, Chinese and launched from a submarine off of our coast. Now, it’s entirely plausible and it was the first thing I thought of when I read the reports. However,, not for the reasons that Duff posits his crowd of lunatics. Duff reprints a “redacted” email he received;<\/p>\n

I am a retired U.S. Navy FireControl Technician, who is platform certified in missile systems XXXXXXXXX, I have also worked with the Navy\u2019s Harpoon, Tomahawk and ASROC missile systems.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, that’s all I need to know about his credentials – the fact that Duff redacted the credentials makes me much more comfortable with his opinions. The number of Xs are the same count as “mopbucket”.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m fairly confident its not one of ours, as the vapor trail appears \u201cdirty\u201d it looks brownish. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, the vapor trail appears brownish…like the rest of the sky around it.<\/p>\n

\"Brownish\"<\/p>\n

So Duff can’t help jumping to conclusions based on this evidence from a random “expert” and his unsolicited email;<\/p>\n

A submarine comes approaches America\u2019s heavily guarded coast, through a network of defenses costing billions, and launches an ICBM capable of carrying up to 10 hydrogen bombs, launches the missile 2 minutes from Los Angeles, and we are utterly unaware? This is the same military we trust our children\u2019s lives to?<\/p>\n

This is the same military that spent a 9 years hunting for Osama bin Laden, knowing he was dead, hundreds of millions of dollars, endless lives lost, all over a lie. Keeping bin Laden\u2019s death secret is a deception not unlike the phony Yemen bomb scare and the \u201ccrotch bomber\u201d last Christmas, \u201cthird rate boogeyman\u201d ploys to justify wasted money and airport passenger abuse.<\/p>\n

This is the same military that killed 5000 Americans in Iraq over more lies, always known to be lies. Behind the flag waving and patriotic blithering is a pack of greedy incompetents, many religious extremists, most up to their necks in right wing politics and too many willing to send us to war for their own personal reasons. A patriot wouldn\u2019t last 5 minutes in Americas military.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

See that? That’s what Duff really wanted to say all along. He didn’t need an unexplained missile launch, he just needed an excuse to cuddle with his merry band of pseudo-intellectuals. He paints with a broad brush all of the people in the military as incompetent anti-Americans. Based on his eighteen months experience in the Marine Corps forty years ago.<\/p>\n

As always, the comments are even more weird than Duff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
