It really is fucking 2001 all over again

History doesn't repeat but it does tunnel.

I can hear convos from the future in my head...

MSNBC anchor: "Some people are appalled by the loss of life after the Israeli airstrike on the underground tunnel complex that resulted in approximately 700 civilians dying in or near the hospital. Can you show us what happened on the board?"

Mark "Mac" McStronger, frm. Sub-Commander at MidEast Command: "Sure." Oops. Fuck. Too conversational. "We always regret the loss of civilian life but as you can see here - the estimated location of the highly fortified bunker was at least 100 feet underground. That being the case..."

Mark "Mac" McStronger had never been on tv before but due to his acumen and wisdom and by that I mean his strong jawline, relative youth, towering height, and handsomeness - he quickly becomes a network favorite natsec go-to guy. There is much unhappiness among the other natsec guys who have none of those qualities. And by that - I mean the important ones. They don't even have full heads of hair.
