Fort Hood....

To wish death on people makes you no better than the warmongers you protest against.

FIGHT WAR NOT WARS

 

how quickly would public opinion change if they saw these pictures and the soldiers comments about them?

WARNING!!! EXTREMELY GRAPHIC:

these are the 'heroes' that we should 'support'? they are beyond repulsive...and they have cashed in their humanity, provided that they ever had any.


@ onelegged..
so simply wishing someone dead is on the SAME moral level as someone brutally annihilating another humans face with an RPG or Bar-B-Queing them alive with napalm?

rhetoric and catchy sloganeering has NEVER stopped any atrocity.

 

Real bold of u to say "fuck the troops" when they give their lives for you to be able to say so. This is not a patriotic statement, just the truth as I see u live in the usa. (i am not pro war, or even pro troops, but do have some respect for them as human beings.) Again another subjective debate can stew, if we had no soldiers, we would just be oppressed by some other regime. Wow can't believe that your comment brought that out of me... but i agree with Oneleggedpunk's crass quote. FIGHT WAR NOT WARS.

True, but violence only leads to violence. The Vietnam war only stopped when the general public saw how futile it was, another Fort Hood type attack will only make people dig their heels in.

 

death camps have never been cool or justified. ever.
if you have a mass killing of mass killers wouldn't that just put you in the same place you started in?

 

particularly seeing as one of the suspects was muslim, so now everybody is up in arms and the T word is getting thrown around, galvanising public opinion and reassuring them that war is necessary. It was probably planned by the government, 12 casualties to hold public opinion.

 

whoa back the truck up a second...i thought that they were giving their
lives to secure oil supplies...or was it because of WMDs? or terrorism? or to bring 'freedom and democracy' to the region?

all this time it was our freedom of speech that was under attack?!?!?!
wow where have i been?

 

They're still human beings. Either coerced economically or misinformed, I don't think one should wish death on them.
You should hate the system, not the person (thats a paraphrase, can't remember the source).

 

Just when I thought you couldn't come up with anything less intelligent to say...

 

my uncle is a retired sergeant major and lives in Killeen/Ft. Hood, i've visited this base... so sad that this happened, how do we prevent this? ... and to think i almost joined the navy so i could get money to finish college... glad i didn't... i like my mind as is... let's watch as the Army tries to twist what happened all around now...

 

werd up ungovernable!

wow...this is just too much for me, i'm going back to my Care Bears coloring book.

 

A fat YES to ungovernable! I can't say that's not what I'd do if I were in that position.
And damn those pictures are majorly fucked up, makes me madder then that video of the GI throwing the puppy off the cliff... And not to condone it one bit but we all should know based on historical evidence that this sick dehuminization of all involved parties is in its purest essence what war is...inhuman, or purely human depending on how you look at it.

And to the anxietist, while I definitely respect or dignify the troops and cops and the like for their humanity alone, I Disagree with what you say about about either group "protecting our rights" think about has any war ever been fought to protect the people?

 

Isn't this collateral damage

 

Yeah i know... i was half kidding, but half not. I don't support wars, I was more alarmed at the sentiment itself... but it has had time to resonate a little. It is more the humanity of the soldiers I was reffering to.

As far as "fighting for our freedom" I do have to go against the grain and say without military, we would likely have been taken over by someone else by now. For better or worse.

In an anarcho society, I wouldn't want soldiers or armed forces, but I would like people to be trained to use weapons, sort of as a miltia or whatever... maybe more like the minutemen of the American Revolution...

I have had family and friends serve in the military, some didn't have a choice and were drafted, some did by choice. Those who were drafted though I feel more compassion for, because it wasn't as much by choice (yes they could have chosen to dodge or run...)

I am a little torn obviously... but not ashamed to admit so.

A lot of people seem to be forgetting that a lot of troops/police have noble, albeit misguided, intentions of protecting their country and their people. It's not their war, it's their masters. Whilst we may not mourn the death of the "elite" the death of a soldier, whilst one day maybe necessary (hopefully not), is a sad occurence.

Hitler hated jews. Was he an anarchist?
