More War Inevitable?

[runtheball]

Your best evidence for this claim is from 1993? We still haven't pacified fully the Taliban in Afghanistan. Doubt me, then bring u this week's Army Times where our own field commanders are screaming for us not to cut back troops there especially SF troops, because the Taliban is lying low hoping to lull us into a false sense of security and get us to leave before the new Afghan Government is ready to go.
You are so blindly partisian for the right it isn't even funny. Only a fucking puppet would state that someone hates this country just for disagreing with you. I never said this country was evil, but we have made some bad/questionable decisions in the past that are affectig us today. But I suppose you couldn't be bothered to study history.
If you are so worried about my hatred of this country, I wil give you the contact inforation for the commander of the unit I am currently deploying to Afghnistan with and express your concern. I am willing to put my ass on the line for this country and my beliefs. Are you puppet boy?

Was this reply meant for me ?

As an officer in the United States Military I openly question how out might would better serve our own people.

Unless we're invaded you're not allowed to serve at home, right?  Aren't there strict constitution rules forbiding the military from acting as a police force?

How to help - less police, more prisons.  Less enabling hand-outs and more motivating hand ups.  95% of the country has jobs, and that includes the majority of 8 to 15 million illegals.  What's that?  You can't afford to your lifestyle on minimum wage?  Then get a roommate.  Get two.  Work hard and rise up the pay scale until you can afford your own place.  Live the American dream.

I can play "twist the words" too. 

No you can't.  You're not an Uber.  Oh, are you a member of the "reach-around" club?  Is that why?

Maine, I told you before, your point was valid. 

I'm not sure it is.  If the people in Maine have been without power and water their entire lives, and have no prospect for ever getting either, then it would valid in my opinion.

I was speaking about poverty in the United States in general, not specifically about people in Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

Um, no.  Actually.  National Guard runs under a completely different set of P&P's.  And I wasn't speaking of martial law.  I was speaking about engineers that could make a difference with construction, food units that could provide for areas of the country that are hard to get to.

Military might does not just equal guns, bombs and explosions.

And I was using extreme poverty cases in northern New England as a showcase that if it exists here - it's other places in the country.  I'm quite sure you'll find examples in all 50 states.

Now now, Run...where in any of the debate between JVides and I do you see any sort of "I'm a senior member so you'll listen to me" stance?  I defended my opinion.  I'm allowed to do that.  You brought the uber thing in un-needingly.

[run_to_win]

It was really just a joke. 

Yeah - it's a lousy joke.  It's a tired joke.  But damnit, it's the only joke I got and I'm gonna ride it until it's dead (oh shit) a rotting pile of bones.

I honor your service and hope that you get the chance to put your life on the line very soon.

I'm a dumbass right winger, so please explain how military might doesn't equal just weapons.  What else does military might equal ?

[crazy_scar_man]

Based on the number of replies, I would just like to point out that this topic has moved into the top 15 all time Off Topic Board topics.

Which I would normally have been exstatic about when I was first writing it. However, the sheer amount of "throw up on my keyboard" responses has been overwhelming.

Moving forward, I will stick with debating football and useless info with the TDMMC crowd. Or at least until Run The Ball and Run To Win fall off the earth.

Big fat wordy mcword Scar Man.  This thread scares the  hell out of me.

I never used a word like dumbass for the record and I am not going to get into a debate. You obviously saw Maine's post that I replied to.

I modified to add in that I also never said you or anyone else specifically (feel like it was directed at you? From some of your posts I think you have an issue with feeling everyone calls you out personally).

I said some right wingers.
