When Celebrities Paint Themselves As Military Experts: Not A Pretty Picture

RedState  "President Trump garnered the attention of the globe when he commissioned the military to drop a massive piece of ordnance in Afghanistan. Dubbed the Mother Of All Bombs (MOAB) it was the largest non-nuclear detonation at our disposal. That level of aggression also drew the attention from the Hollywood experts.
"It was an impassioned zeal to condemn the actions of the reviled President by our luminary betters, but in the rush to voice outrage, many of these “societal experts” managed to expose stark ignorance. One of the joys in life is to behold a self-proclaimed expert who displays an abject absence of knowledge on a subject; that joy turns to hilarity when a lecture is sent down from an “important” celebrity.
"Let’s start with Mark Ruffalo, who is rather confused about our foreign policy.

Trying to finish the job Russia started. U.S. drops "mother of all bombs" in Afghanistan, marking weapon's first use http://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-drops-mother-of-all-bombs-in-afghanistan-marking-weapons-first-use/ 

It just seems odd to have to explain to such a vested activist actor that we are not attacking the Afghani government, but the terrorist faction that is metastasizing therein, but here we are.
The creator of “House of Cards” shows he is more adept at pretend politics.

Having failed repeatedly during his first 100 days, @realDonaldTrump is resorting to bombs to improve his popularity https://www.google.com/amp/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/us-drops-mother-of-all-bombs-in-afghanistan-marking-weapons-first-use/ 

"This explains why Obama was so popular — he dropped tens of thousands of bombs during his tenure. Trump is just employing a proven methodology, we presume.
"George Takei gives us another explanation as to the problem: it wasn’t that Trump bombed ISIS terrorists, it was the size of the weapon."
Dropping bigger bombs doesn't make you the bigger man, Donald.
