As a non-american it's kind of hilarious to have the american government, with all its powers, assets and resources figuratively yell at a single individual:

"Come out and fight like a man!"

The fact that someone thought this kind of response is appropiate in any way means one of two things:

1. They think the american populace is irrelevant and they can flip them the bird unscathed.

2. They think they have substantial support by morons making up a majority of their populace who applaud that kind of response.
