    There were lots of conscientious objectors (CO) in my last unit in the Army. One refused to go to Vietnam. They put him in the stockade and mistreated him. He went on a hunger strike and they put him in the hospital where they force fed him. They required guards on him 24 hours. They made me, a friendly acquaintance of him, one of his armed guards. He got a hold of his Akai tape recorder and we listened to the Moody Blues for hours and hours. The Moody Blues still bring back nostalgic moments for me.

    One of my best friends in the Army went all the way through OCS (Officer Candidate School) and with the easiest part, the last week to go, he declares himself a conscientious objector. I thought he had guts.

    Me, I'm philosophically opposed to declaring myself a CO.

    Stupid fucking question. Just trying to avert blame from the Trump and the right who actually incites multiple attempted assassinations cause a couple posters think Trump deserves an asskicking (yet would never actually attempt to do that, just bluster). You are wrong, you support someone who is destroying this nation and turning it into a violent game show, bravo.

    So uhhhhhhh.......don't you think the crazy bomb guy might have thought the people he sent bombs to were destroying this country?

    Anyone who thinks Trump is "destroying" this country is either delusional or has a very very low opinion of 350 plus million people.

    On the other hand...

    Why a low opinion of 350+ Million? Why not the 63 Million that voted for him?

    Whether any of us denounce violence hardly matters (assuming none of us are the next #MAGABomber, which seems likely to be correct).

    What matters is whether people with power and influence denounce violence.

    Me too. But barfo is right. It matters not to them if we denounce it. We are peasants. Someone of power needs to come out sgainst that.
