Default Quite a fall from Sec Gates

No, with all the DHS contracts and now state and local law enforcement getting involved, I'm sure there will be plenty to keep the ISR lobby and some aspects of the MIC they comprise gainfully employed.

It's not a joke. The plan is that castration will go more smoothly if you start with a lobotomy.

Interesting how some consider your comment to be funny, given the context. IMHO that speaks volumes about them.

The kind that is so very happy and content to live behind the wall of protection our military provides, all the while condemning it for how it provides that protection.

"Coward" is too nice a term for such people.

Would you care to share your military experience with us?

How did you gain such insight? Protracted campaigns and awards for valor?
