This war has turned down a very dangerous road and the ones that give the ok for the use of these kinds of weapons are not going to be on this earth very much longer. A line was drawn in the sand many years back... and everyone was told not to cross it. Everyone was told... you do not use these kinds of weapons on the U.S. or anyone else. This line has been crossed and all gloves are off or will be very soon...

Light-em up Uncle Sam
and God’s Speed...
