TheCorinthian Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 In the post above you state "you deserve to be raped and killed", and then "should be shot". Pretty extreme views don't you think? Then you did not read the whole post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Of course we were. My dad was a WWII combat vet. My grandfather was a peacetime vet. My grandmother's brother was a WWI Marine combat vet. Virtually all of my male teachers were WWII or Korean War vets. I grew up with conscription looming for those who didn't volunteer. Things are different now without conscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCorinthian Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 It is clear to me, and apparently not teddy, that the meaning behind the post is simple: "You can not have a democratically led government in charge of the military unless you take responsibility for the people elected." You, the people like AF16 and Teddy, elect the people that write our orders. If you wish to have majority rule but take no responsibility for who the majority chooses, you deserve what you end up with. Which historically is death under bad circumstances for you the people. And if you consciously do this, if you either elect the wrong person or through inaction allow the right person to get beat, you in my opinion deserve it. If you do nothing at all, then you really deserve it because then you have let us all down. It is after all your choice who writes the orders that send me and my boys off to fight. That is not brain washing. That is history. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCorinthian Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Neither would you teddy, as you are just as indoctrinated as anyone else. But read the above, I am saying it is your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCorinthian Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 So you do not believe in democratic, civilian government control of the military? You like the idea of the military in control of the state? You must be Chinese then. Or Packastanie (The ruling class of course.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
