Thanks for taking a terteriary predator out of the water. It didn't get that big by being a wussy fish, If you kept parts of it, hope it was yummy.

 

[Kejtar]

Correct... its the "citizens" responsibility.


Socialist? Yes. We are moving ever closer toward that. There is no choice in that.

I guess I should weigh in on this one...

While I'm pleased with what he did, I'd have been more impressed if he'd just left the damn reporters at home. Contrary to what they're always on about, there is no "right to know." Period. They (and, for that matter, we) really do not have a right to know anything, and that's something that's been forgotten (and is going to get someone killed sooner or later, if it hasn't already happened.)

Moreover, I'm more impressed that he was willing to expose himself to some personal risk to spend time with the people who he could quite literally order to their deaths, and that means a lot to an old groundpounder like me.

As far as the homeless, I was once homeless myself and I did something about it. While there are those who are unable to do anything on their own, mst are capable of rebuilding their lives if they will just refuse to roll over and die. It is up to the President of the United States to get people off the streets, that's not his job and it's not why we elected him.

The homeless don't work for him, and he isn't their boss. He IS, however, the boss of the armed forces, and he has a responsibility to them to prove that he is worthy to lead them.

Hearing that the soldiers had been disarmed for whatever reason (if true) is worrisome, because you aren't fit to lead people you don't trust. That's a simple fact of military life, and moreso in a line unit. People who don't fit in with the unit (team, if you will) are eased out - if all is working properly - to ensure unit cohesion and to keep trust alive. Therefore, I am against the idea that soldiers should be disarmed around their commander.

Moreover, I think the CinC should be allowed to spend more time with the enlisted men than the officers. If you've spent any time in uniform, you know who's doing the work and who's making things happen in the Armed Forces.

Endeth the sermon.

Military's good at disarming its own. I understand the precautions after the grenade "incident" at the beginning of the war. When we deployed to saudi/kuwait (first unit in after the cease fire in the first gulf war) we had ten rounds for our m-16's, taped together with duct tape, so we wouldnt use them but so that we were technically armed. At that time the kuwaiti security forces were still having small firefights with iraqi forces attempting to recover their almost new rifles (only dropped once) and other equipment abandon on the border. When mr.stormn norman came to visit our base in kuwait he had a whole platoon of armed security, if they were army they sure didnt look like it and they did appear to be tough. And they didnt act friendly considering we were unarmed. The guns they had stayed roughly in our direction until their helo's lifted off...oh well...just part of the game... glad the Prez went and visited, took a little guts...
Still think we would be better off if we had a mandatory service period for all americans(including politicians sons and daughters). 2years would be enough, toughen up americans, showem the world, let them appreciate what we have here.
