How should we treat our enemies?

[hortysir]

Not my son-in-law.
My STEPson...that has been for 15 years....he's 37 now....so most of his adult life....he calls me Dad.
He's a Marine. I'm ex-Navy.
We don't lie.
The media are the ones with the reason to lie.
He does have pics of some things.
3/4 Marines is all I can tell you. To divulge his name and company for your satisfaction would do no good for him.
If you can't believe me or him, keep hiding from the boogyman that's under your bed if ya want.
Keep believing the conspiracies...Michael Moore needs the money more than I do.

They also found nukes and vx rockets...see..I can make statements too..without backing them up ...its up to you the reader to decide if its a lie..

I firmly believe that if such things had indeed been found the Bush administration would have fallen all over itself to show the world since it was such an unpopular thing to do invading Iraq...Ive talke dwith guys who been to Iraq twice.. none of them talk about anything except the ieds...

I have to agree with you on that Joe...
Then they would have used it via the media to have had an excuse for it all...

Hubby been three times to iraq...his last one a cpl mths.ago
has been his dangerous tour though...
camp/base was most nights under rocket attack ...
But as there were not much hits
you dont hear much about it in the media anymore..
and ppl assume its gone quiet there..

I think you might have it wrong about not providing proof in a debate situation like this.

Have a look around yourself at the moment JAF, you’re on the internet, all you have to do is Google…. USA troops find nukes or sarin.

Do you understand the baseball ( cricket preferably ) rule of letting a ball go through to the keeper ?

Something’s you just let slide but when someone says that President Bill Clinton made 300 million dollars by selling nuclear secrets to China, I generally ask them to back up their claim with some sort of factual evidence, after all it is the internet and the information must be out there.

Same deal with the hazard materials claim, I just ask they provide some sort of proof that their claim is valid.

What can I say except it is an outrage that you think members should be permitted to claim events as factual when there is no proof of their claim.

I didn't ask for any family or personal information or even a troop name connection or geographical placement.

I just need to know where to begin my search for government records that would have been required to destroy the sarin that was brought into USA Military posession.

I don't know how you cope so well with your personal life with a husband who is actually out there doing that stuff !

If this was an X-Rated scene in a Vietnamese war movie the opening line of the first bar girl would be Hi Ya Joe !

My sentiments exactly Joe..and... How are Ya ?

Keep smiling Joe I am !

[JustAnotherFace]

That is not what I said Flynn. I said that he didn't have to prove anything until you did. Every thread I go to I have to listen to your anti-American bullshit and people eat it up like Halloween candy. I'm ex military and I've seen my share. But for most of you people on here to have at least a decade on me, it's Very, Very sad that you all believe that the media would tell you the truth... about ANYTHING. Or that the government is the business of backing up it's claims. I do know that I'm done with this debate. Because it's not worth arguing with people who have never been there and refuse to accept what it might actually be like if they didn't see a full blown article on CNN.

JAF...we are brothers in combat, but let's not put ourselves on a ped! Did we not serve so people of this earth can be free to speak their minds without fear of....????

Constructive critism is part of the journey to a better solution!

[JustAnotherFace]

I'm not on a pedestal. I have no thoughts of being better than anyone. My problem stems from everyone talking about the golden rule, and turn the other cheek, and Flynn there really pissin me off. So rather than keep it up and turn it into an argument rather than a debate, I'm bowing out. As I said.
