Sunday rant. Being an American overseas and getting kidnapped don't bring the response it once did.

 Ya know what has me spinning.

Once upon a time if you were an American and you got kidnapped overseas, you would see a full press - all of govt approach to get you home.

The CIA and FBI would be working overdrive to shake the trees. SOCOM would be spooled up and ready to stack bodies.  A USMC Marine Expeditionary Unit would be hovering offshore begging to land and get some.

Now?

We don't anymore.  To be even more blunt we can't.

We have so many people from so many war wracked nations around the globe that picked up "dual" citizenship (that needs to be a discussion one day...how the FUCK can you claim to be a citizen of two nations!) that the issue has at least in my mind become clouded.

I'm looking at the war between Hamas and Israel.

We have people from both sides claiming US citizenship as well as being citizens of the warring sides.

Even worse than all of the above?

We have enough issues at home as it is.  Now we're seeing fights from across the water affecting shit at home because of these dual citizens.

Sectarian violence has to follow at some time.

I don't know how ya'll roll but if you ain't seeing flashing warning signs then maybe you need to fix your glasses.
