Well, stupidity is unfortunately contagious, but the Iraq war was an unbelievably stupid mistake foisted on us by people who saw the opportunity to make a shitpile of money for themselves at the cost of taxpayer money, lives and our national credibility.

But it couldn't have happened if we hadn't grown three generations of fucking idiots whose only reality was a bunch dumbassed Bruce Willis movies.

It ain't enough to just blow the fuck up out of something. We have to be smarter than that even if it is our fault we were stupid enough to bred essentially a stupid "warrior" class trained by a quarter century of video games and civic illiteracy.
