What the military is doing to the minds of our men and women in uniform

[PatriotGame]

Eye-opening?  How's this for eye-opening, stud...dropping the shower while you're in the employ of the Kansas Gravel Company.  That could get REALLY eye-opening.

I call BS.  And if this guy IS for real, he'd be the first (and probably ONLY) Ranger I ever heard speak in such a manner.

He is a lying sack of shit.
There is ZERO man that would ever act like that then post about it on the DUmp.

David West? DUmbass...you know with a phone call I can do a tab check at Fort Benning?

They love busting fake Rangers.

I checked the Global.  Only two by the name of "David West" that would be the rank this assclown would be after two years in (one is SPC and the other is E-5). The closest either one of them is to a Ranger Bat is Ft. Gordon.

The only "David West" I could find that might be a 13 Fox is an E-6 at Ft. Sill.

The only other one is a Recruiter down in Ocala.

This idiot is as fake as General Ballduster.

There was one.  A certain Major with the 4th ID who was married to LynnTheDem.  Made the mistake of posting some stuff on her screen name...and made sure everyone knew it was him.

Don't think it ended well for him...I know for a fact it didn't end well for her.

Ranger(?) David West  is a work of art.....he belongs in a jar of piss.

Maybe we can get him to post his awards, so he can share a cell with General Ballduster.

Maybe not so fake.

You know it never seems to occur to these idiots that these values might be one of the reasons they joined and not a mindset they developed after joining. Seems to me a desire to "protect and defend" is a pretty good reason for enlisting.

Perhaps his Battalion CSM needs to be made aware of the fact he has a window licking mouth breather among his ranks.

28. Thanks. You have an interesting perspective that I lack.
 Reading your post makes me question the value of an all-volunteer military.

30. Would you rather conscription?
 If it makes you question the value of an all-volunteer Army, what would you rather have? Conscription? Conscription is a moral abomination. It's slavery pure and simple. Am I correct in assuming that you would rather a conscripted Army so that there is a broader representation of mindsets within the military?

32. I've always been opposed to the draft, even when I was young enough that it was a personal issue.

That said, the modern military is more likely to be composed of people attracted to the allure of shooting people than a conscripted one would be.

"Military preparedness" is probably enhanced by a force composed of people who believe the life of one soldier is greater than 100 civilians, but I'm not sure that is the only consideration.

I don't see it as unambiguously as I once did. Remember that WW2 was won by conscripts.

33. I could never agree to a draft.
 What if, instead of having a huge, multi-trillion dollar military that anyone who felt the need to kill someone could go and join, our federal military was small or even non-existent? What if we just didn't have a standing Army, and instead relied on the reserves, National Guards, and militias for defense? They could still be rallied in time of legitimate war if a larger, more unified force is ever called for. Wouldn't that be preferable to a draft?

I can simply never view a draft as moral. I take an individualistic view of humanity as opposed to a collectivist view. The voices of many wanting someone to fight do NOT trump the right of an individual to just live out his life the way he sees fit. I think war can only be moral when people willingly stepping forward to defend themselves or other people from a real and immediate threat (ie no "preemptive war" to stop a theoretical future threat). A draft automatically precludes that. I reckon that World War II could have been won without a draft and that more people would have voluntarily enlisted had there not been a draft going on.

America kills for coporate interests/shits-'n-giggles while communists, jihadists, and other despots merely respect the wishes of native peoples to be enslaved and murdered.  Every Army Ranger knows that.

Yes, perhaps he does.

And thanks to Clinton, we got exactly that.  Not the best situation, IMHO.

[Airwolf]

Militias? What militias. Are the Dummies that stupid? I think there might be four or five states that have an actual state militia and they are for the states use not national defense.

Ok, I joined here just because it popped up when I googled this "David West" fella, after seeing him and his bullshit with John Bolton
www.liveleak.com/view?v=e0a_1330145602

Now he goes out of his way to describe some story about a 13 year old with a SKS who shoots a Ranger Cpl.

Well, this is the same fella in a RonBot movie where he ....wait for it....teaches a 13 year old to shoot a SKS at UN Peacekeepers, keeps C4 in the back of his Jeep to blow up locked gates into forests, has a bunch of like minded youthful Militia buddies who show up with Black Guns when he summons them, and ambushes some fantasy UN force in the US that is composed of....US Military in Blue Helmets. Did I mention he has big stickers on the doors of his Jeep that say "Ron paul Revolution"?

Here's a clip. I doubt this will be appearing in movie theaters anytime soon. It does have some pretty good camera work and lighting though. Somebody put up some money to make it, obviously, and to hire somebody who know cinematography.

He obviously is mixing his fantasy with reality here.

So this fella has time to make movies in addition to his active duty Ranger Service, but doesn't seem to have the time to meet US military grooming standards and get a regulation haircut.

He's another David Kokesh, and probably got kicked out for smoking dope like that guy who got hit in the back of the head by a brick at that Occupy protest.

[Dont try to run]

I don't know if the links work, but if you go to Liveleak.com search "John Bolton insults" you will find  the confrontation at the interview with Stossel, and seach "One Man's Terrorist" and you will see his small scene debut as a Domestic Terrorist, or Freedom Fighter, or whatever he fancies himself.

I hope somebody does a Freedom of Information act search on him and finds out his real MOS's, deployments, ranks, and awards and decorations.

[Dont try to run]

I did some info hunting on this Davis West, and he enlisted in the Army, went to school to be a Forward Observer (a job any decent Combat Arms E-4 can do), went to jump school and Ranger Indoctrination (but not Ranger School). He claims a 4 month "tour" in Iraq, and decided he wanted to become a "Contientious Objector" who was willing to take up arms against the US Government for interfering in his "Rights", but not against "Enemies" of our Country like Islamic Jihadists. So after a year of being a "casual" getting processed through the system, the Army finally declared him unfit for Military Service and discharged him for the good of the service. He does not have a "Honorable Discharge". Half his 2 years in the military was getting processed out and being psychiatrically evaluated as psychologically unfit to wear a Uniform in the Service of this Country. He did not by any stretch meet his Military Enlistment Obligation. He is a narcissistic anti-social Sociopath, and easily capable of being this generation's Tim McVeigh.
He is a staunch RonBot and obviously has devoted way to much time interpreting "The Turner Diaries".

You've heard that O'bummer's dept of justice is arguing that it's free speech to fake bein' a soldier, right?
