I hope this comes out and is the reason for prosecuting Obama.
Of any of them, Obama is the most important to prosecute.

I sure hope it blows the whole deep state to pieces. Obama needs that smirk removed from his face.

I did not condone the atrocities in war, I merely pointed out that they happen. It's the nature of the beast.

Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust

This groundbreaking international bestseller lays to rest many myths about the Holocaust: that Germans were ignorant of the mass destruction of Jews, that the k**lers were all SS men, and that those who slaughtered Jews did so reluctantly. Hitler's Willing Executioners provides conclusive evidence that the extermination of European Jewry engaged the energies and enthusiasm of tens of thousands of ordinary Germans. Goldhagen reconstructs the climate of "eliminationist anti-Semitism" that made Hitler's pursuit of his genocidal goals possible and the radical persecution of the Jews during the 1930s popular. Drawing on a wealth of unused archival materials, principally the testimony of the k**lers themselves, Goldhagen takes us into the k*****g fields where Germans voluntarily hunted Jews like animals, tortured them wantonly, and then posed cheerfully for snapshots with their victims. From mobile k*****g units, to the camps, to the death marches, Goldhagen shows how ordinary Germans, nurtured in a society where Jews were seen as unalterable evil and dangerous, willingly followed their beliefs to their logical conclusion.

On K*****g: The Psychological Cost of Learning to K**l in War and Society

The good news is that most soldiers are loath to k**l. But armies have developed sophisticated ways of overcoming this instinctive aversion. And contemporary civilian society, particularly the media, replicates the army's conditioning techniques, and, according to Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's thesis, is responsible for our rising rate of murder among the young.

Upon its initial publication, ON K*****G was hailed as a landmark study of the techniques the military uses to overcome the powerful reluctance to k**l, of how k*****g affects soldiers, and of the societal implications of escalating violence. Now, Grossman has updated this classic work to include information on 21st-century military conflicts, recent trends in crime, suicide bombings, school shootings, and more. The result is a work certain to be relevant and important for decades to come.

It is NOT the nature of the Beast: that is what is horribly wrong with your assessment of reality. It is a sickness of the soul. Their actions are not in any way acceptable and need to be thoroughly condemned and not granted any space for the understanding of combat stress to mitigate their actions. It is just sick. But Treating them with care and love is essential.

You will note that I did not post my "assessment of reality", rather I directed you to the exhaustive research by professionals in and out of the military.

Ernest Gordon was a lieutenant in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders stationed in Singapore when, in 1942, the Japanese army invaded and defeated British forces there. Gordon and his fellow highlanders were among the many British prisoners who were forced to build the Burma Railway--known as the Death Railway. After the war, Gordon wrote of his experiences. To End All Wars is an extraordinary account of brutality, atrocity, suffering and REDEMPTION. It tells both sides of the story. The Japanese interpreter, Takashi Nagase, was sympathetic to the suffering Brits, he did what he could on their behalf. The story is heart wrenching while at the same time uplifting.

I suggest you read the book. Following that you might watch the movie To End All Wars starring Ciarán McMenamin as Lt Gordon, Robert Carlyle as Major Campbell, Kiefer Sutherland as the only American, and Mark Strong along with many others, including some excellent Japanese actors. Do not miss the special features.

Hopefully this will purge you somewhat of your irrational and truly i***tic rage over something that hasn't even happened.

Thank you. I want to know t***h. If you see that I have been blind or prejudice about our men or generally men in combat, it is right for me to take your advice, no matter if I feel the charge is untrue.

Nothing really to do with anything but at the end of the movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai," when Alec Guinness wakes horrified from his stupor and sees the error of his ways and ineffectively looks to undo things, only to die, I identified. As young as I was, 10, it deeply touched me, left a mark somehow. Just strange.

You know nothing and are blind to the t***h, seems you have little respect for your country, I assume you are American but I could be wrong. I wager you are a teacher and corrupt our kid's minds every day.

He does try to undermine God and country.! I've read a tad bit of his general spew in conjunction with being on the wise side of subjects, but his overwhelming genre and theme is to disrespectfully question and judge the Creator.

His second themed effort is to disregard the true and absolutely unique blessing placed upon our Republic.

He is in the l*****t mob who doesn't plan ahead for a sovereign based nation for our next generations.

If the man does this s******n and subterfuge by design, as I suspect, he promotes evil and not true love for his fellow mankind.

So the tad bit of acting kind, is just that, an act.

He also seems to display a bitter hatred for himself.

Maybe a skeleton has him in a guilt headlock.

It's a sad situation, and I believe that in his own chosen way, he is pleading for help.

Rose, I look at it this way, if some delusional person is driving their vehicle right at my grandchildrens future. Temporarily at least, the person has placed themselves in a enemy position.
