Weltsmertz (OP) User ID: 1280572 United States 07/31/2011 11:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WOW! I am so glad my little post got pinned I had no idea! What a video. I don;t know what I am more appalled by, the NEED for our soldiers, fighting and in danger to have to consider they may be prosecuted for a reactionary, self protecting or unit defending response to a hostile or surprising situation, OR the fact that it must be so prevalent that they carry around DROP WEAPONS just in case!!!!!!!! Geeze! A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything. Friedrich Nietzsche if I did not feel so sad as I look at them.

I agree they blow up plenty of shit on their own but the government can't really hope they do it where and when they would like simply by chance. I don;t know what to make of the debt situation. I am very concerned for what will happen if we don't get a raise in the ceiling in terms of public reaction. I do believe though at the first slight sign of unrest those 20,000 US based troops trained to assist local police in situations of public unrest (we read about them here on GLP last week) will come out. Many arrest will be made and those non-existant 'camps' 'detention centers' will suddenly exist. The enemy combatant executive order will hold many of us, and HEY maybe your right and BAM the AK's will show up in a false flag event to redirect our attention away form hating the government to looking to them to PROTECT us again. It is going to be a very interesting week for sure, with or without a debt cieling increase. A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

You play to many video games I used to play too many video games, now I don't play nearly enough. All I know is that my dad rocked a few commie weapons back in Vietnam, so I'm sure things haven't changed too much... anything but the M16 was the rule of course the issued equipment is much better now I am sure. :romaflag: Not enough to fight, too many to die. |
