Loughner not a fan of Iraq & Afghan wars

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Now that Caitie Parker has been confirmed as a friend of Jared Lee Loughner’s, it seems relevant to ask whether Loughner was still a left wing radical, as he was when Caitie last saw him over two years ago. Among the clues are his apparent postings under the name Erad3 at Above Top Secret (ATS). That Erad3 and Loughner are one and the same is indicated by his cross-posting of some of the same material on both YouTube and ATS. In searching through Loughner’s posts as Erad3, several stand out.

On July 7, 2010, Loughner posted his assertion that the war(s) in Iraq and Afghanistan “is a war crime from the Geneva Convention articles of 1949”:

    There was help with cleaning the uranium from the Iran and Iraq war in the 1980’s?

    Article 33 of the Geneva Convention is the prohibit of pillage.

    All military invasions with armed forces into a foreign country are war crimes in the Geneva Convention articles of 1949.

    The Iraq and Afghanistan war of 2010 is a military invasion with armed forces into a foreign country.

    Therefore, Iraq and Afghanistan war of 2010 is a war crime from the Geneva Convention articles of 1949.

    Ouch! For the thoughts of war.

However, be this as it may, I hasten to add he's too batshit insane to choose a political calling. He isn't competent enough to hold a bank account let alone an ideology.

That is because he doesn't have two brain cells to rub together to have any opinion on this matter

No more Pillaging, darn what the heck is war for but to rape, pillage and gain land??

No more scorched earth policy, jeez General Sherman is rolling in his grave.

Go away.

That's as nice as I'm going to be.

The more I read and hear about Jared Loughner, I am less inclined to think it is political. It is obvious he is psychotic. Case in point, Seung-Hui Cho.

This doesn't make sense. He thinks the wars are wrong yet he tried to join up?
I wonder if his goal was to do what Major Hassan did.

I wonder about that too.

Or possibly get to Afghanistan and perform some serious war crimes to cause more people to be against the war and the military?

Ehren Watada was a career anti-war protester, joined the army, went on to become a commissioned officer then refused orders to deploy so as to be able to protest the war.

Even if he does, those 2 brain cells are criminally insane.

I know I agree with you there
