Biden admits truth Finally amazing

I wish I know what you two are talking about.

There was a ROTC graduate who was deaf. He has been trying to join the military for a while to no avail. While I understand the reasoning, they should have let him in but not let him in combats. Maybe intelligence or something.

uncle chesty plans it that way

No doubt!

STY did his duty at a Marine Corps Air Station in North Carolina, I was in California and Okinawa (twice).

Not the military, but there are a lot of jobs serving our nation in the Alphabets such as CIA, DHS, FBI, FAA. Not all jobs require hearing but the military is so small these days all members need to able to serve in combat.

They did let Desmond Doss in a combat.

[Doc Dutch]

They did let Desmond Doss in a combat.

Yes they did. Being in combat doesn't necessarily involve killing but, as Doss proved, soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines need to be fit to serve.

Due to the downsizing of the military, a lot of support jobs have been contracted out.

i'm curious...........i've asked this question of many democrats/liberals/progressives/antigunners and never gotten any other answer than them calling me a cowardly submissive moron....so maybe you'll be more honest.........

what makes you think we won't have had enough and finally start killing every cop that comes for our guns?

Because nobody wants to die and if you shoot a cop, a whole shit load of them are going to come down on you like a hammer and shoot back at you until all that's left of you is a tattered, lifeless, unrecognizable corpse, leaking blood, bodily fluids and viscera out of dozens of holes where bullets from their guns punctured your flesh.

That's usually an overarching concern of most people.

[Minister of Truth]

You're right. He should be able to own anything he wants.
Let him have a rocket launcher, a dozen grenades and a little dirty bomb (but just a little one. We don't want to go overboard).

It's a better option than your unconstitutional restrictions are.

[Joe Capitalist]

It's a better option than your unconstitutional restrictions are.

There IS a happy medium, you know. It isn't always one extreme or the other. You understand that, right?

so you're saying that there's no way a whole shitload of pissed off marine veterans could stand against an angry government force of jackbooted thugs????

I prefer smaller and more directed weapons.........an RPG, definitely grenades, but no dirty bombs......claymores would be very nice

No dirty bombs? You fucking far-left liberal. Why do you want to infringe on my 2nd Amendment rights?
You liberals are all alike.

Sort of, but not exactly.

First of all, not every gun fanatic is a military vet.

Second of all, most vets are not "pissed off" at the gub-mint, or at least not enough to go off the deep end and start shooting cops. I know a couple of ex-marines. One of them was a combat officer in Vietnam. Used to teach high school phys ed and helped coach the football team. Nicest, most peaceful and serene guy I ever met. Never talked about his military past unless i was somehow germaine to the conversation and even then, only briefly.

The other one was one of my best friends in HS. He did one hitch as a jarhead, stationed in Gitmo in the 80's (pre-9/11) walking guard duty along the perimeter fence. He's into formula racing and builds model cars as a hobby. Used to work on foreign cars like MG, Triumph, Austin Healey etc. for a living. Probably still has a gun because he worked for several years right after finishing his hitch, as an armed security guard at the Kennedy Space Center until his company lost the contract. But he isn't obsessed with them or with shooting people and would likely go as far out of his way as possible to avoid shooting anyone.

That kind of crap is for mentally unbalanced nutjobs, most of who like to fancy themselves as hardened, tough guys and killers etc, but in reality, they're mostly just a lot of talk.

Lastly, I don't see the police or govt agents as "jackbooted thugs", so that part of your case is null and void afaic.

dirty bombs incur too much collateral damage............I prefer specific targeting......

you're certainly entitled to your opinion.........i'll even give you that some of it might be correct, at least in regards to your experience of your two friends........but the rest.............well, it's just not correct......

I think you've watched too many Rambo movies.
