Al! posted:You would think that as military LARPers they would understand the basic concept of supply lines. That's the thing though, they're like kids playing army instead of acting like people who have actually done it. From the guy making the "tearful" farewell video to his kids on why he won't be home for Christmas, to asking for snacks and warm socks, they're doing things that make more sense in the context of spending months overseas on deployment. It's cargo cult stuff. It's also why they're wearing a range of surplus and/or high speed gear instead of just showing up in appropriate civilian clothes.

Liberal_L33t posted:This is loving nonsense and you know it. If you're referring to the indirect "creation" of AQI by the Iraq invasion, the "honeypot for radicals" was absolutely not the intention of any of the invasion planners, and although Dubya and Cheney may have made one or two statements to that effect as a justification for their failures after the fact, even the neocons didn't make much use of that argument and quickly pivoted to arguing that they could shut down the influx of jihadists if they were just given a few more years and a few more billion dollars. It was the same post-hoc rear end-covering that led the WW1 German general staff to claim that it had been their plan to subject the French army to attrition at the battle of Verdun after failing to reach their actual objectives. As opposed to the Oklahoma city bombing that was a.resulf of Waco?

As a Millennial I posted:This is the video that these people claim proves their case. In their chat they keep complaining that if they could just get enough people to watch this video, the country would be on their side. Ok, I'm not watching that whole thing. Would it have killed them to film this somewhere where there wasn't a dump truck operating off camera? To add to this, she's using the argument that nouns in the Constitution that are capitalized refer to specific things instead of categories of things. Specifically, she uses the fact that the word "territory" is capitalized in Article 4 Section 3 reefers to pre-state territories and not the land in general. This is a fallacy. Under the older rules of grammar, and under the German language, all nouns are capitalized. This is no longer the practice, and at the time the Constitution was written, the German practice was on the way out, though it was still used from time to time. So she's using a quirk of language to try to argue a legal point, rather than any factual basis. http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2011/04/the-constitution-capitalization/ Armyman25 fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Jan 13, 2016 |

theflyingorc posted:i'm going to bet you don't know the definition of assault. for a hint: it doesn't involve physical contact The difference between the definition of assault and battery depends on the jurisdiction. So, in some states assault is defined as attempting to hit someone, while in others, it does include physical contact. I don't know what the law is in Oregon.
