Chris Kyle: American hero or

[hog88]

Read the CIA reports about CIA officers being troubled by the brutality and legality of the torture program.

I'm sure people would question the orders and try to stop them. They'd just be replaced by someone that doesn't care and be done with it.

No internal government person has stepped up to say the warrantless cellphone, radar-based home inspection and other issues are unconstitutional.

It was only by accident did we find out that LEO possess the radar systems used in Iraq/Afghanistan to search homes before entering. And they've been doing so in the US without warrants.

But, whatever. Stupid liberals trying to protect our rights.

But in all of this there is one common theme. It all came to light, someone said no and blew the whistle.

Nothing logical at all in your statement.

You can't be this myopic.

 

[hog88]

Yeah, he was only able to kill 6 million Jews before he was stopped. Good argument.

Also completely different times and cultures, but continue to ignore that.

 

[MercyPercy]

I've been trying to, I'm glad you're willing to start.

No need to lie, my friend. Intentionally misrepresenting someone's point isn't a good look

Nothing new under the sun.

I didn't misrepresent anything. I simply called you out on a tired and completely irrelevant point.

You can't possibly be serious.

My only point was that humans can be manipulated into doing things they think is for the greater good. If you disagree with that you're a fool. If you don't disagree with that then you're just arguing with me for no reason.

I agree they can. My point is that that the chances of manipulating the entire US military into attacking US citizens on US soil is as remote as winning the lottery 10 times in a row. If that good.

Well this has been an entertaining thread to follow..

It isn't very likely.

It doesn't need to be the entire military

I'll let your brain work on it for a little while longer. Have you tried kick-starting?

Are you off your meds or just on the rag? You seem to be quite the testy one here lately.

 

[ETV]

Who spiked the kool aid today?

 

[Carl Pickens]

I'm sure your girlfriend wishes you were brown.

There you go again Sammy......brown brown brown

And the "rest" of the military is going to be doing what exactly?

Drinking beer down at the GB Club?

Doesn't need to be against every citizen either.

 

[n_huffhines]

I usually like this guy's opinions. Good read.

Calling American Sniper “pro-war” or “anti-war” says more about the critics than the movie | Rare

Drinking beer down at the GB Club?

Yeah. Seems legit.

 

[SamRebel35]

No, I'm serious. History repeats itself regularly. And, though cultures might be different, human nature remains the same for the most part. The underlying psychological infrastructure of the German people that allowed Hitler to commit those atrocities are present in every society. The Human psyche is vulnerable enough as a single entity, but it takes on an entirely new form of vulnerability when in great numbers. Militaries and societies are composed of people that are all able to commit horrible atrocities or allow horrible atrocities when bolstered by the perception that the greater portion of the group is in agreement.

This thread certainly turned into a Royal Rumble of sorts. Everyone having a go at everyone.

 

[n_huffhines]

There are like 3 posters in the politics forum who turn every thread into a s*** show. It's hard to have good conversations. I don't know if I didn't notice them when Mav was around, or if they got worse, but damn something needs to change.
