The US using a "Ninja Bomb" in Syria?

Recently an interesting article was posted to Business insider talking about how a US drone was able to eliminate a terriost threat using a missile to strike a mini van that was traveling through Atmeh in Syria. But the most interesting part was the missile was not packed with explosives instead swords


The main targets in the strike were elites in a grouped named the red bands. The mini van seemed intact besides the driver side where is was torn in shreds. This was created and used to reduce civilian causalities. In review its crazy to see how modern day weaponry is being intovative to solve problems of civilian causalities.

    That is an insanely high tech bomb. But I love how in our country we name bombs after silly or ironic names, even though they cause death. It is severely ironic and horrible at the same time.

    The use of a bomb this extra seems to be a waste. The government has so much power and technology that the use of a bomb of this caliber seems to express the U.S's capability to target rather than the actual practicality of a weapon of this strength. The bomb, in my eyes, was unnecessary considering that there were only minimal targets. Using a bomb is usually used to prevent long drawn out battles, this doesn't seem to be needed in this particular case.

When sitting in the middle of the discussion, I kept questioning whether my statement was correct. There are so many ideas that could be thought of and rhetoric can even be a manipulative power that can be used towards convincing individuals their arguments are wrong. Using this in society is how humans function in daily life. With these thoughts in my mind, I began to wonder what life would be like without rhetoric.

Are you aware of what is in your food?

Many food providers and producers do not bring full awareness to the ingredients and parts of the products that they make and sell. Many companies hide ingredients to promote it as healthier. For example, Gatorade is known as a "healthier" drink than soda. It is promoted as being a healthy alternative to drinking soda. However, Gatorade contains as much, or more, sugar as soda. Recently, schools across the country have been replacing soda in vending machines with Gatorade. Another example would be flavored drinks. Most "fruit flavored" drinks do not include the actual fruit. The taste is coming from an artificial chemical.
