These pol campaign workers and strategists aren’t veterans of sh*t. That guy certainly isn’t. These neocons can’t help but use military terminology to discuss their work on political campaigns. They’re hanging around with MIC fluffers who tell them that they’re tough guys and they get raging boners when they talk to each other like they’re running a military campaign out of their rented campaign “war room.”They were probably REMFs.
I hate when sports guys use the “going to war” metaphors, too. These coaches start to believe that they’re Patton.
