Bill O'Reilly's Plan To Defeat Islamic State: A 25,000-Person Mercenary Force
U.S. Naval War College Professor Tells O'Reilly: "This Is A Terrible Idea, Not Just As A Practical Matter But As A Moral Matter"


Fox News' Bill O'Reilly suggested that President Obama raise an anti-terror mercenary army to defeat Islamic State militants and other terrorist groups around the world. But the use of mercenary forces has been outlawed by the U.N. General Assembly and O'Reilly's expert guest denounced his plan on-air as a "terrible," "immoral" idea.

On the September 22 edition of his show, O'Reilly claimed that the only credible plan to defeat the Islamic State had to include a mercenary force of 25,000 "English-speaking" fighters that would be recruited and trained by the United States. O'Reilly explained that his mercenary army would be comprised of "elite fighters who would be well-paid, well-trained to defeat terrorists all over the world." O'Reilly also detailed how the mercenary force would be trained, recruited, and funded:

1. Don't give Obama any ideas

I would normally laugh but not today.

[msongs]

[shenmue]

3. O'Reilly couldn't come up with a good plan for a sandwich

[hifiguy]

13. Or manage to organize a two car funeral on a one-way street

even if you spotted him the hearse.

[JaneyVee]

4. So let me get this straight...

The paranoid nutjobs in the rightwing who have been warning about Obama training a secret army to round up all the guns and put everyone in FEMA camps now wants Obama to round up all enemy guns and put them in camp?

[delrem]

5. As if these wars weren't already manned by mercenaries!

I mean, come ON!
Let's not take denial to yet another level without at least toasting the achievement!
WTF does everyone think "no (US) boots on the ground" means, in a US led war?

[gordianot]

6. Who thinks there are not already hired mercenaries on site?

Now there is something the Koch brothers and Sheldon Addison might spend money on instead of buying elections.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

7. Hey, Billo. It's not a fucking movie, you moron.

We can't give a call to Megaforce with their rocket buggies and flying motorcycles to go over there and "kick ass".




"Elite fighters".

[gratuitous]

8. Well paid, Billo?

With what, a war tax on personal income above, say, $100,000 a year? You want a war so badly, you don't want to fight it, but will you pay for it? If not, then have a nice big steaming cup of shut the fuck up.

[951-Riverside]

9. He just described ISIS n/t

[Electric Monk]

12. a Judeo-Christian™ (though not really) version of it, though. I'm sure the irony is lost on him. nt

[Half-Century Man]

10. How about this?

25 countries send 1000 persons (or 50/500) each to serve under the exclusive authority of the United Nations. During their service the forswear any national identity. They are paid at the same rate per rank as American service members. Any new military technology by any member nation is given to the World Armed Service for a period of 5 years.
They should be trained to speak Mandarin, Spanish and English (the top 3 common languages).

[Xyzse]

11. Dumb-f, is stuck in the 80s.

Loud explosions, and going in arms blazing.

Idiot hasn't been to an actual war and so he has no idea how things actually work.
Guy just needs to shut his mouth.

[Johonny]

14. Isn't that what ISIS is already?
