I had a security clearance while in Vietnam and I can tell you from first hand experience that battle field reports are classified top secret.
C’mon Maris, if you didn’t serve you have no right to accuse or insinuate. And please don’t tell us what you would have done in the same situation. Sorry, but this is one area where you are genuinely uninformed.
Nah, just a parody who sometimes gets so caught up in the act he forgets himself and crosses lines he shouldn’t.....
Maris and ABM: If you could, please explain how one can defend this topic. Would love to hear it. Please share the rationale behind inviting the Taliban to Camp David.
Im not really upset about this... Confused, but not outraged... What kind of “people” did he think he was inviting? Did he think negotiating peace was a possibility? Why would he tweet this out? Its strange...
Im not defending or attacking it, because I just find it... strange? I guess strange is the word I am looking for.
Wrong on all accounts. River man freely confessed, I didn’t accuse him of anything. As for not serving in the military this is the reason I chose not to; the handing over of my personal responsibility to someone else, anyone else, who may be less moral, less compassionate, less decisive, less efficient, less intelligent, less lethal, and just following orders, who might order me to kill someone I don’t know specifically deserves killing. Maybe the guy is just defending his family and farm from invading armies, and nothing more. If he comes to LaPine with evil intent then it’s a different matter. I would not make a good obedient soldier nor improve the military were I to join. I was not drafted so I escaped making the choice between prison and Canada. I realize the necessity to have the most effective military in the world and 11 years of my Federal employment was in the US Army Corps of Engineers. I worked in the printing and photography department, had top secret clearance, proof read and printed some eye opening stuff nobody will ever hear about. Some good, some bad.
Im a very calm person, sometimes to the point that it frustrates me that Im not happier or more upset about situations that come up. I realize why this particular subject is upsetting to people. My reaction is more of just being perplexed because it seems so stupid... Seems like theres gotta be more to the story.
The rationale behind arranging peace talks aimed at ending America’s longest war should be obvious to any American.
