Its never been about 100% elimination of drugs and drug use. That is just impossible, just as its impossible to eliminate poverty 100%.
But you CAN curb usage and deaths considerably with the right policy such as going after the suppliers in a much more heavy handed way.
No one starts out looking to become a drug user. You have to be introduced to drugs first, and if you can curb and limit the amount of drugs and the access (not eliminate but curb) then you can cut out a fair amount of regular drug users and bring drug deaths down.

No one starts out looking to become a violent criminal. You have to be introduced to guns first, and if you can curb and limit the amount of guns and the access (not eliminate but curb) then you can cut out a fair amount of gun crimes and bring shooting deaths down.
That is one of the most absurd comparisons I have ever seen. Drug addition to legal gun ownership?
Legally owning guns is not a gateway to being a criminal.
The ignorance of that post is staggering, and you are not an ignorant person.
Its a pathetically sad reach you should have never made.
The purpose of the comment you responded to is how the argument can be adapted to something else and it will still make sense. I am not a gun control advocate. I strongly support the 2nd Amendment. That said, the thoughts you posed is a 180 to how gun rights supporters would argue in favor of preserving the 2A. You can take the underlined portions and replace those with alcohol as the subject. Let's try it.
Its never been about 100% elimination of alcohol and drinking. That is just impossible, just as its impossible to eliminate poverty 100%.
But you CAN curb alcohol consumption and deaths considerably with the right policy such as going after the suppliers of alcohol in a much more heavy handed way.
No one starts out looking to become a(n) alcoholic. You have to be introduced to alcohol first, and if you can curb and limit the amount of alcohol and the access (not eliminate but curb) then you can cut out a fair amount of alcoholism and bring alcohol related deaths down.

Im not the steelhead trying to say the difference between a kinetic strike and a hellfire is the grand ass major league differential in the matter that you subscribe to, sparkles. I think youve been in the moron juice hooch a bit too much there, 3a.
But please continue. Kind of cute.
Like I said, you didn't have an effing clue what a kinetic strike was before you opened your big mouth, or you would not have compared it to a Hellfire. A Hellfire typically contains explosives, although one variety doesn't. A kinetic strike uses gravity and weight. No explosives.
I spent 4 years on active duty in the Navy, then another 15 years working as a consultant to SecNav. You really want to go down this path with me, genius?
Please do continue your exposition of how important the most inane of details is.
Said previously -- I dont give a rat's ass if it were a hellfire, a photon torpedo, a phasor shot, a cruise missile, a 105 shell, or a kinetic weapon, or fing grapefruit shot at relativistic speeds. You seem to think that makes a major difference -- so please keep flapping your short little hands up and down on this. Lolz.
Put them all into my sentence. Doesnt change the point. But please flap your inanity on the detail some more for all of us to enjoy, champ. Notwithstanding your CV or who the fk you consulted with. Not that simple of a concept to wrap one's arms around -- except you seemingly have that problem.
Well, I have to give you rep pts for the Star Trek reference!

RE: Kinetic Strike on Drug Boat
Btw, I think this has gotten lost in the uproar about bombing vs. interdiction, but the 11 people on board were identified as MS-13 members before the kinetic strike was ordered.
MS-13 has been designated for some time as a terrorist org, making the attack legit anywhere.

LOL. Terrorists forfeited any due process when they became terrorists. Same with that freaking wife beating, human smuggler Abrego Garcia.

The due process was on the end of whatever missile landed in their lap.

honestly, if I'm heading up the RNC, I'm hiring all kinds of propaganda whackjobbers to 'git out their message'...
the more I see it, the more I love the 'damned' ... these crazy whackadoodles only help those with any sense whatsoever by the purest definition of 'what not to do'...
