david- The military has always been the police. That was one of the
missions of the militia. Until the late 1800s, the military was
the primary federal police. Due to abuses, that is why the Army
was restricted by the PCA (congress can give permission for the
Army to engage in police work, the Navy is not restricted). BRBR

You and the tarver dude need to spend a little time in the military, of today.
We learned combat, not saber rattling.


David Police do the same thing. Likewise the military are not cold
blooded murders that you make them out to be. BRBR

Kill the other guy in the aircraft, hopefully have the burning wreckage fall
into his kids school yard. Make the other guy hurt more than you, force him
into negotiations, end the conflict under favorable to you terms asap..Buy
killing them w/o prejudice.


David Saddam's sons
chose to fight, much like the situation at Ruby Ridge or Waco. BRBR

Yikes, to equate these two with a war is truly absurd.

The 'police' and the 'military' are not the same but your boy GWB sure is
trying to make them so by placing them in a situation that is not win-able..

David-
We volunteered. And
this is far more "fun" than training missions. Or civilian life.
BRBR

"We"? What branch of the military were you in? Years and what was your job??
