Howard’s warm heart and prose

For the “60th” anniversary of the first use of the atomic bomb in war, or something (“something” because Ted can’t count — and his copy editors or web type setters are equivalent dunces — seemingly implying this happened in 1951):
We need more smart bombs, more predator drones, more advanced intelligence equipment and assets, more special-operations teams and more improved tactics, more ammo, better night-vision equipment, more human-intelligence capabilities, more stealth and a never-ending commitment to kill the enemies of freedom and America under whatever rock they may try to hide. Kill ‘em all as quickly as possible. That’s the most effective deterrent there is …
America is a peaceful nation.
“Sixty-years ago … Hiroshima and Nagasaki were flattened with atomic bombs,” Nugent writes. Never has so little been furnished by one so small.
“Mostly agree, Mr Nugent …. However, make that fifty six years ago, not sixty,” writes one of Howard’s equally arithmetic-challenged pals in the comments section.
