I can't figure out if that was an Admiral briefing Congress on the murder of shipwreck survivors

[maxrandb]

or, one of my Seaman Recruits trying to explain to me why he missed ship's movement.

Same type of parsed language.

It's all good though....well, "good" until they designate you, or me as "enemies of the state."

"We had to double-tap Max! He was about to post again"

Make no mistake. This state sanctioned murder will eventually spread to a city, or town near you.

This shit has abso-fucking-lutely NOTHING to do with drug trafficking, it's about normalizing extra-judicial killings.

It's just pushing the envelope of what the military will be allowed/ordered to do to those declared "enemies" here at home.

If a fucking O-10 can so schwarmingly justify this, do you really think he'd have a hard time justifying the murder of Americans?

This admiral didn't lose his way...he lost his soul.

1. the mainstream press just buys that drug explanation

extremely fucking annoying, you are correct, it has NOTHING to do with drugs

[doc03]

2. I think Democrats are mired up talking about the two survivors

that were murdered while ignoring the other 80 or 90 that were murdered. The entire operation from
blowing up alleged drug smugglers to a ground invasion is either a war crime or a mass murder. This
is all going to end up looking like Democrats are against the military.

3. call off the strike

4. I felt a little sorry for him, but no more. He knew better.

5. I guarantee you

He probably wanted to murder innocent women and children, to "send a message" to the Iraqis, or Afghani's, and was pissed that someone with a fucking soul told him he couldn't.

He probably sees the helicopter gunner in Full Metal Jacket as the "hero" of the movie.

"How can you kill women and children? Easy! You just don't lead 'em so much".

He and Kegsbreath probably high-fived each other.

6. Thats horrifying but not unusual or the first time.

7. War is hell, they say

Closest I ever got was diving under a desk when some cheap ass munitions got close.

They also say; "you never know how you'll react until you're in an extremis situation", but that is bullshit!

We fucking trained and drilled for "how we would react".

No fighter pilot knows what it's like to experience a cold catapult launch, but they train for it.

No Sailor knows what it's like when a turret blows up, but they train for it.

No Machinist Mate knows what it's like when the No. 1 Fireroom explodes into fire, but they train for it.

Every swinging dick Sailor knows what to do when you encounter shipwreck survivors.

This Admiral didn't lack training...he lacked humanity.

The fucking Nazis machine gunned American shipwreck survivors.

Anyone who says the "Dems are being anti-military", doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about.

In the future, when the Russians or Chinese, or Taliban return our Sailors bodies, with their eyes gouged out, I don't want to hear a fucking word.

FYI - I am NOT OK with this being done in my name!

8. You are very right. Hopefully more think our way than their way.
