"What Would Happen If We Really Went to War ..." Topic

…Against Christmas?

Funny article (smile).

"You've heard about the "War on Christmas," a . But what about an actual war on Christmas? If President Barack Obama wanted to take down Santa Claus*, how would he do it? And would it work? A classified report obtained by Mother Jones sheds new light on the Department of Defense's plans. Take a look:

Overwhelming force: On paper, it looks possible. The United States has 22,000 military personnel in Alaska, mostly at major Air Force bases outside Anchorage and Fairbanks (home to the 354th fighter wing).* A military airstrip at Barrow, the country's northernmost point, could also be used a forward operating base, as could Thule Air Base in northwest Greenland, 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The Navy and Air Force regularly conduct carrier group exercises in the Gulf of Alaska; so they're not exactly coming in cold.

But Santa's best defense is that the North Pole is—spoiler—really cold. The US Navy doesn't have any icebreakers, and the Coast Guard only has two, both of which are research vessels. (An amendment to the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act would have commissioned four new icebreakers, but that's still pending congressional approval.) And unlike the Russians and the Finns, the United States doesn't have any ground units specifically trained to handle polar climates…"

Well, to be fair, the military did refuse to take Christmas cards children had written in, and signed, and deliver them to the troops, since supposedly that was, wait for it ……………………………………………………………………………………………….too controversial.

And, they were running TV ads to scare the children, saying Christmas might have to be cancelled, due to global warming, and the effects that's having on the North Pole, Santa, and reindeer, so……

Thankfully, Christmas seems to have gone on, without a hitch, despite the Grinch, or Grinches, trying to prevent it.

If the Prez decides to do that, I imagine those silent, black helicopters, which don't officially exist, but which we've seen crashlanded in Pakistan, would be involved.

Of course, Santa has magical elves, and probably Edward Snowden on his side, so it might be a bit more difficult, than they think it may be.

That was utter rubbish of course.

MAYBE rubbish that it was a commercial and maybe seen a couple times – NOT rubbish that It is an ACTUAL WEBSITE STILL ACTIVE trying to scare kids with the "cancel Christmas due to Global Warming" statement.

A Greenpeace campaign with an actor playing Santa:

"Dear children, regrettably I bring bad tidings. For some time now, melting ice here at the North Pole has made our operations and our day-to-day life intolerable and impossible, and there may be no alternative but to cancel Christmas…"

And so on.

I had never heard of it before seeing this thread and my curiosity was piqued – was not hard to do a Google search to vet it out. Maybe all of us should think first to do the same before declaring something, "rubbish."

Don't need to fight at all, just ship more diet soda:

The US would have no chance attempting to penetrate Santa's Fortress of Solitude

Perhaps he should move his base of operations to the South Pole, or already has, and the North Pole is a trap for those that would like to put him out of business.

And the war would be dramatized with the title of "The Night the Reindeer Died" and starring Lee Majors…

Fuuuuckin trolls on tmp

After a 10 year hunt for 'Santa bin Claus' he would be found hiding in a departmant store on 34th Street.
