Gee, that makes me feel a lot safer. I mean, the guys defending our country might not know what the hell they're defending, but damn it if they can't kill the living crap out of anyone at any time. :roll:

Lucky for the country, not everyone tasked with defending it feels the same contempt you do...

The Joes on the ground go where they're told and kill or arrest who they are told to kill or arrest.

The primary mission of the Infantry is to seek out and neutralize the enemy while the primary mission of everyone else in the entire military is to support the infantry.

g'day.

Good point, I think a young Marine would do much better in combat if he was thinking about the different constitutional amendments and how they should be interperated instead of focusing on how best to kill our enemy. 😕

Granted America would be better off but what does that have to do with this case?

He is making the claim that any statement, no matter how ridiculous, will soon be taken seriously and the consequences of those statements will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

One won't be allowed to say "I wish so-and-so politician was dead" or something like "i think the best solution would be just to blow them all up" because everyone is over sensitive especially is you are stereotyped to be capable to do such act.

I mean I got it... it wasnt that difficult. I dont completely agree, however I dont completely disagree.
