The l*****t Hobbit fart sniffer's definition of "rebuild" is "turn the greatest nation in the world into a Third World s**thole."

>>>First considering that i am an old geezer, no order would come my way.. I can not speak about such an order without knowing just what the order was about and how it was ordered and conveyed..

Then you weren't trained very well. Speaking to/educating about hypothetical situations was common education amongst the NCO corps in the Army - at least it was when I was serving.


>>>Next, your definition of m*****a.. impressive it seems but where did it ever come from? I have never ever been told/notified that I was part of any m*****a.

That's not my definition. That is the definition supplied by the United States government. 10 U.S.C. § 311 (2012) - Feel free to look it up, but that's exactly what I posted.


>>>combat vet of the 7th Marines. small business owner. educated via the GI bill. owner of lake view property, 45 acres overlooking the lake.. Sent both my sons to college and law school or grad school, started my little girl in a business. Have helped after hurricane, fires and the homeless.

Same story here with detail changes.


>>>but mostly I am a true american because I champion equal rights and opportunity for everyone, not only the chosen few..

As do I. PS: show respect, capitalize "American".

>>>Back to Govt. take over.. back a few years ago, Slatts posted a thread about an actual attempt, back in FDR days, I think it was.. so look it up and see what happened.

Sorry, I won't do your work for you. If you have a citation, post it. However, I will post an interesting little bit of history for you where a 'm*****a' (as defined by US code) acted to protect freedom.

>>>It is for sure that no educated, qualified leader will be found to lead you people in another attack on our capital or any attempt to put your orange sprayed POS into the oval office ever again.

Weren't "my people". Nor is anyone 'orange spray painted' mine either. I do not see where your consuming hatred of President Trump is germane to this discussion about biden 'talking smack'.

You are wrong, military is trained to follow "legal" orders. My Marine son isn't going into a public square and mow people down just because Bidem says so.

do you know statements and memes like this just .are you look like an ignorant, immature, whiney little boy?

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Isoroku Yamamoto, at the rank of commander in the Japanese navy, was a special student at Harvard University between 1919 and 1921. Twice Yamamoto was posted as a naval attaché in Washington, D.C., where he learned to speak fluent English. Yamamoto traveled extensively in the United States during his tour of duty there, where he studied American customs and business practices.

When the Japanese Imperial Staff and Tojo proposed an attack on the American naval base in Hawaii - the reason was to protect the flank of their expansion of the Greater Southeast Asia Co-prosperity Sphere - Yamamoto objected. He told the General staff that America's industrial strength and resources were formidable and that a protracted war with the United States could have dire consequences for Japan. The militant Tojo would have none of it. He wanted the threat to the flank eliminated, and he had in mind America's aircraft carriers with the battleships as secondary targets.

Yamamoto had no choice, so he planned and executed the attack on Pearl Harbor. He was none to happy that the American carriers were no where to be found and that the two waves of the attack failed to damage or destroy the considerable oil reserves and the ship repair yards.

Six months later, in June 1942, in the Battle of Midway, Yamamoto's fears were realized. After that battle, Japan never again held the initiative in the Pacific.

It matters not if Yamamoto put his objections to the attack on Pearl into those specific words, he was nevertheless opposed to taking on the industrial might of America in a long war.

The vid is a vivid reminder of how different (bad) things are today.

Back in the day when protesting was:

1) justified- weak reasons for being in Vietnam at all, outside of enriching the Military -industrial complex
2) legitimate- the gubmint's ineffective prosecution of the war - not executed to overwhelm and destroy the enemy
3) peaceful- sit-ins not burn downs

I believe there can be an interesting discussion about our presence in Viet Nam.

They got away with the Viet-Nam BS because it was a UN mission. No a declared war.

AND; what was figured out by the potential cannon fodder.
