This is why I encourage people not to join the military or the police. Perhaps its just the freedom lover in me, I could never put on a uniform and become a "yes sir" "no sir" person. We were meant to be free.Wrong again. A US soldier has an obligation to refuse to obey any criminal order. Failure to do so is, itself, a criminal act.
Until I figure out how to separate quotes excuse me for writing in red!
Quote:In a truly anarchist society there will naturally have to be warlords to ensure that a foreign power doesn't come in and try to impose order on what it considers to be chaos. It was the Afghan warlords who kicked Soviet butt and truly fulfilled the American anarchist slogan "We are ungovernable" (I saw that in the video you posted on this thread)Then the warlords -are- the state. Many...many, bickering and murderous states, in point of fact.
I admit I have a certain romantic notion about warlords, especially when they are fighting Goliath.
Quote:I also have an affinity for gun culture. I don't think any country is truly free until ordinary people can fire their machine guns or rifles or whatever into the air to celebrate a birth, wedding, etc. The servile Chinese peasant cannot even imagine that kind of freedom.The servile chinese peasant also doesn't have to worry about a toddler shooting him in the mouth with daddys pistol. Being free to shoot bullets up into the air is nothing more or less than being free to shit on the liberty of others to not have them fall on their heads.
Pro-tip from a super user in a gun culture. Never.....EVER......fire without a backstop.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
