As we celebrate our upcoming 250th anniversary it is only appropriate that we have a UFC Fight on the White House Lawn (click here for that story.) Hard to believe, but we have been in a fight 92% of our 250 years.

And these stats do not include data involving the current Iranian fight/mess.

Bottom line – we don’t mind getting into a scuffle or two. Psychologically, it pumps us up when we kick a little ass and it provides a big benefit to our military-industrial economy, Plus, when it is over, we get to celebrate. (OK most times we do – depending on the outcome.) Reminds me of a bar room joke:

Guy in a bar is ordering drink after drink so the bartender asks him “Is everything ok?” The guy tells him “My wife and I got into fight and she said she wasn’t going to talk to me for a month.” Trying to put a positive spin on it, the bartender says “Well, that could be a good thing. We all need a little peace and quiet sometimes.” The guy responds. “I know, but today is the last day.”
