So, what do we do with the prisoners? They're not guilty or even charged with any crimes in the United States? They're prisoners of war that have no state to return to after the battle ends. So what do we do with them?

We have military prisons on US soil. Those will do just fine.

When you consider that about 75% of the prisoners in Gitmo were not affiliated with any terror group when they were handed to us by lying Afghan warlords....yeah, you'll realize Gitmo never should have been opened.

I hope that is an ear plug and not some strange ear meat.

Excellent long form piece, precise, not delving in minutiae only a hard core fan would care about and, obviously, a compelling writing style.

Frozen pills that you swallow. Yes, seriously.

Everybody poops but not everybody's poop can be a source of income. I don't think it'd be one of the 4%.

Seriously? California is basically the epicenter of the anti-vaxxer movement.

And you're all a lot more average than you probably like to think.

I'm with you. We're having our first in a couple months and these morons scare the bejeesus out of me. Stephen King should rewrite "The Stand" so that the cause of the superflu isn't the military, but anti-vaxxers.

Well there's zero risk that I'd be wearing it to Crossfit, so I'm gonna go ahead with this plan. (Not really. Don't come at me with a copyright infringement issue, Gawker.)
