Oh snap, we’re going to war with Iran. Awesome. It’s been years since Bush II launched something that the Massed Asses of Middle America can understand – a high-tech, special-effects-rich land, sea and air offensive with roaring engines, soaring jets, heaps of rockets red glare, and cheerleading “embedded” reporters feeding action-packed videos to a TV audience that hasn’t had anything to applaud cheer since those glory days of “shock and awe.” (Transformers II simply wasn’t enough). This day-to-day stuff where weary foot soldiers merely get blown up by buried IEDs that we never see on camera is dreary, dreary, for a population that now distrusts anyone who doesn’t talk like a professional wrestler. We have high-def TV now. Bring on the slaughter.
