Well you are an idiot.

All you are showing is that the people you know use the term wrong and they don’t know how to conduct a proper military brief.  They are using it as a replacement for the concrete action of planning.

That doesn’t mean hope is meaningless.  Abstractions are not unimportant.  When people have Hope that their lives will get better and faith in their leaders, their lives actually get better.  When they have Despair, their lives get worse.

Having Hope in a Presidential candidate is not a bad thing.  Only a right wing tool would believe so.

Harshly arguing against a straw man. You go, Lestat!

Considering that Obama wants to run the military on his brand of “Hope”, this post is quite clever.

I will slow our development of future combat systems.

Abstractions are not unimportant.

I would agree with that, but I’d also point out that having parts of your campaign that aren’t abstractions is pretty important too.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

Hope is not a method of doing things.

Hope is an emotional plea, a wish, a desire.

Do not confuse a way of getting things done with hope.
