meanwhile helpless CSPAM posters who created the Avenatti fan thread were mass banned and this also forced Lowtax to pay workers comp for mod carpal tunnel syndrome.

did you know that glenn greenwald personally tracked down reality winner and captured her at gunpoint for the US government

Might as well have done this especially how the Intercept was ignorant how he US forced printer manufacturers to make copies traceable back to the individual machines.

Can you describe what you were seeing in in Afghanistan with your own eyes?

In my own unit, I saw no commitment to learning about the Afghan people or trying to understand them or their culture. It was more about taking pleasure in going out every night and killing people with impunity. Even on nights when we didn't have kinetic engagements, we would just roll up to villages and ransack them; we�d separate women and children, put bags over people's heads, lock them up in flex cuffs.

We�d call them detainees, which is just a euphemism for prisoner, and we�d do this kind of thing every night, even sometimes without proper intelligence. Most of the guys I was with�even and especially the leadership�relished in the fact that we could kill human beings. So, for me, I was trying to resolve this contradiction because no one over here was threatening freedom or democracy or anything like that. We were just going in their homes and threatening their villages and were creating nothing but chaos and destruction.

After a mission, we�d have a debrief and, if something particularly violent would happen, officers would say something like, �That was kickass!� They said if we didn�t like it, we were in the wrong place. Even the army chaplain would give us these kinds of speeches. I remember one time it a chaplain said we were about �bringing wrath upon these people,� and I was like, �Wow, these people have some kind of crusader fantasy.� It was pretty unsettling.

I started to think, �If I were a guy in Afghanistan, how would I feel about this?� I think it's no secret that many people in America would take great umbrage if someone was walking through their homes. For me, I couldn't shake the fact that what we were doing was wrong and morally reprehensible.
