AI needs to focus a little more on making architecture drawings. Its pretty bad right now.

Me in Iraq circa 2008...

We begin our morning briefing with word that two teenage girls were abducted from the nearby school for the mentally disabled.

It's not much of a school. More like a shitty daycare, but it's where they can spend time with other kids with similar issues.

The girls were sisters, I believe...

Just after noon we get word of a su*cide bombing in the local market. We show up and people have cleared-out except for the mourners who are grieving their now dead loved ones.

Maybe 15 fatalities or so. We aren't policemen, so it's not our place to really "investigate" the scene. We are more interested in the use of a su*cide vest and the potential motive for the attack.

We found the epicenter of the bombs (plural) because when someone detonates a su*cide vest they're basically turned into meat-flavored mist. But the vest doesn't scatter every bit of them. The water content of their torso cannot be compressed, although there's explosive pressure trying to do just that. So you end up with a puddle of pinkish viscous fluid right where the bomber stood.

From that puddle all the burns, shrapnel, and damage to the pavement go outward and away. So that's how you know where it occurred provided it's not a petrol bomb.

Something else they don't tell you... the su*cide bomber's head usually launches into the air and lands back down resonably close to the blast location.

The two heads we found belonged to the two missing teenage girls. The insurgents had abducted them from outside the school and strapped su*cide vests to them, and gave them some money and dropped them off in the market to buy candy... then detonated them with a timer, we believe.

Why? Because that community belonged to the wrong Mosque. The wrong sect of Islam. The girls didn't know what they were doing, and didn't consent to this. But it doesn't matter. They were forced into martyrdom, and in Islam that's enough.

This is also why Palestinian terror groups (and the Palestinian authority) have no trouble putting their own civilian non-combatants in harm's way, or starving them for the cameras. They're forced into martyrdom for the cause.

@Joel7Richardson Please get your books translated into Japanese. We could really use it.

Charles Spurgeon (1834–1892)—

“I think we do not attach sufficient importance to the restoration of the Jews. We do not think enough of it. But certainly, if there is anything promised in the Bible it is this.
. . . The day shall yet come when the Jews, who were the first Apostles to the Gentiles, the first missionaries to us, who were far off, shall be gathered in again. Until that shall be, the fullness of the Church’s glory can never come. Matchless benefits to the world are bound up with the restoration of Israel; their gathering in shall be as life from the dead.”

There are 58 Greek words exclusive to Luke-Acts and found nowhere else in the New Testament—except that 53 are also found in the Epistle to the Hebrews.

We should have "a hoarder " be in charge of the internet. Then nothing will ever be deleted and no one will be canceled.
