Not war crimes. Doing what they had to do to keep themselves alive. If you are going to send men and women to war then they need to be able to try and keep themselves alive.
But ndcent if you can't stand behind the American military please feel free to stand in front of them.

I wasn't arguing against the military budget. If you read the post I quoted. That should be clear.
I also wasn't arguing against funding abortion. Once again reference a post from jeremyc74 #1208. Where he said "The public doesn't pay for abortions. Period".

I'm not interested in getting into some silly argument involving some round about way federal dollars fund abortion.

I asked you a very simple question, and you didn't answer it.

Would you rather pay for birth control, or abortions and welfare?



I am all for building the crap out of the military. But between Obama and Bill Clinton it has been shrunk in man power and moral is net nearly what it used to be.

It NEEDS to shrink in manpower! We have better weapons systems than anyone on the planet. We don't need a million grunts anymore.



For Gods sake. Obama actually brought members of our military up on charges while in the sandbox.

Obama did NO SUCH THING! The president doesn't bring military members up on charges any more than the Pope does. Maintaining discipline is the single most important thing military leadership has to do, and when someone violates orders you charge their ass! Not doing so is what brings down moral. When you've got someone in your unit that's out committing cold blooded murder and getting away with it, the guys who do have some morals aren't going to get on board. And that applies to ever rank from a Private to a General. It also feeds into enemy propaganda and makes the locals more likely to turn against you. You honestly have no idea how the military works, and you'd be better off to stop commenting on it.


I don't know the exact incident anymore. But the gist of it was they kicked a door in and as they stepped of a hostile that had been shot and was laying on the ground. A few other soldiers put a round in to him to make sure he was dead. This is/was very recently actually standard procedure for an agency or 2 that operates inside American borders. So if you can do that to American citizens by American citizens working for a government agency then why would you charge soldiers in a war zone.
Or there was the time that soldiers had a group of people detained and sitting against a wall. One of them would not quit moving his had towards his clothes. At that point one of the soldiers shot him because he feared that they could be in danger. Once again not sure if Obama got his wish but his administration hinted at prosecuting them. Our moral is very low compared to what it has been in recent history. Yes we have had a long war going on and that most definitely plays a key part in it. But that actions of the current administration have been very detrimental to the current moral.

Being in uniform in a combat zone doesn't give you the right to commit murder, and if you do it you'll be charged.

And for the record, I believe this is the incident you're talking about:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...an-civilians/2012/03/22/gIQAvWOZUS_story.html

He killed 17 unarmed civilians, most of them women and children. He ought to hang for it.
 
No that was not the incident. And yes he needed to be charged. This was an incident where there was press imbedded with a group of soldiers. And cameras only tell so much

Well, without any details I guess we'll just have to take your word for it.

Oh, and FYI, defense spending has increased through most of the Obama's presidency, and is WELL above the level it was at when he took office.

As to abortion I would like to pay for none of it. Actions have consequences. And it took a generation to ignore that. So it will take a generation to reinforce it again.

Your correct the president doesn't do that. He has people whisper in the ear of other people to get stuff done. But then again yes he does get directly involved with law enforcement. Advocating for the federalization of police at press conferences. Making a officer who did the correct thing and a black university professor meet with him at the "beer summit" to make everything ok. That justice system correct. I forgot that's what the executive branch did.

And as for maintain moral and discipline why would every piece of brass that didn't agree with the current administration policies has "retired". Been forced out. That is a super good way to maintain moral and discipline. There is a difference between ruling with respect and ruling with fear. How did that work out for other world leaders. Both past and present.

And then the whole bergdhal debacle. Let's see we have a deserter that abandoned his post. Put many many solders lives in danger because they assumed he had been captured and went out to look for him. We then traded high ranking members of the enemy for him. Some of them have already been caught fighting is again. Then the administration couldn't stop commenting on the situation until they realized that it was a case the the ucmj not the president.
Or the SCOTUS said you could serve openly and Obama. Yes Obama issued a statement and said they couldn't do that. So he immediately said gays could serve openly. Just for the fact that he could say he did it? I can't see another reason for that action. He is a grand stander and all for him guy.

Humans don't seem to be able to make responsible decisions.

Look at the choices we have for President now...what a sick joke this is.
This is the culmination of our society?

We need a scientist for president...Bill Nye.

I am watching a show the other night, heroin addicts, England, a couple, stealing mainly meat to sell so they can buy their drugs.
They want to start a family. WTF.

Selling to a women that cant afford to feed her children.
She rationalizes it as a 'victimless' crime because its some big business that can afford it...again :wtf:


I hope mankind invents or if we have it already, give it up for the good of the species, a Warp drive engine (Star Trek) so we can get off this rock.

Really good reply. If you are so blind to the reality of life that your ideals cloud you ability to see anything but unicorns and rainbows then so be it.

Funny how it's always the liberals that are telling others that they need to stfu. Funny liberals calling for censorship and suppression of speech. But then again they really don't believe in the constitution.

So no I will not STFU. [emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji1303][emoji631][emoji631][emoji631][emoji631]

The hilarious part of this whole thing is you trying to paint me as a liberal. I'm a gun toting Constitutionalist that spent years serving this country, and at no point have I called for censorship or suppression of free speech. Only the suppression of stupidity.

You won't have an honest debate about the issues because you're not capable.
You don't represent the majority in this country, and you're DONE dominating the conversation.

Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean anyone is right or wrong. I thank you for your service. But that doesn't mean I don't think you just a giant D. So you STFU. I try and let other people say their piece as thats 1 part of the 1st amendment. As I'm sure you know all about. [emoji106]
