Our Coast Guard seems capable of stopping ships and boats on the high seas daily without blowing them out of the water to do it.
Really? I was Navy Boarding, Search, and Seizure doing boardings on the "high seas" with Coast Guard LEO Detachments for quite a few years and have seen some boardings go very, very bad that ended with bodies floating in the water. One thing I will tell you
from practical application and experience is that the ultimate professionals of the Coast Guard LEO Dets will indeed shoot from a distance rather than put boarding teams in danger,
especially when dealing with suspected hostiles.
Your opinion and my experience don't seem to line up very well, do they? It would appear that my assessment of what the Israelis will do to any enemy combatant group that attempts to run their blockade is the more correct one.
Once again, it is the administration condoning the possible acts of violence against them that I find offensive, not any act that hasn't happened yet.
These goons are self correcting problems and deserve everything they get.
My wife works at the Wounded Warrior Hospital at Ft. Riley.
And may God bless and keep her, she is certainly doing the Lord's work. On the other hand, you making any attempt at trying to attach some credibility to yourself by her actions is pathetic.
If you are accusing me of stepping on the corpses of our dead soldiers then I expect an apology.
I accused you of no such thing. What I said, in response to your lament, was that when the left decided to stop walking on the backs of the dead military personnel to score their points, then feel free to let me know.
That's all, nothing more, nothing for you to read into and get offended. If I am going to call you a leftist, you can bet your ass that I will make it very plain and very obvious.
Quit being such a thin skinned sissy-Mary and, while we're at it, take your demand for an apology and stick it in your ass.
I see regularly what those kids have and are going through and I am furious that they were put in harms way to begin with.
I'm sorry, what? Do you even think before you type?
You're furious that they who volunteered themselves to do violence on your behalf so you can sleep safely in your bed at night were actually hurt in the execution of their duties? What would you rather have happen? Our trained and equipped fighting forces sidelined while people are blown to bits in restaurants and shopping malls? Would you rather have to fight off the islamokazie cowards in the Mall of America or would you rather have those who are trained and equipped go and kill these animals somewhere other than your home town?
Make no mistake, what these kids are going through is very hard and tragic. Also make no mistake in the fact that they know full well what they are getting into. I knew it when I raised my right hand and so did everyone else, there was no mystery involved.
If you want a constructive place to direct your anger, how about you direct it at the very idiots that are hindering these young troopers from being able to fully execute their duties so they can actually get the damn job done. How about, instead of wringing your hands over what is to become of those actively supporting terrorism (ie your "misguided hippies"), you make an effort to squash the enemies of this country and our civilization? Think you can manage to do that?
Since I am new here, I will explain yet again that I am not a lib, or left, or any other political persuasion. I think they all reek of corruption, greed and stupidity. I refuse to stand on one side of an imaginary line and screech sound bites and gibberish at whatever the other side may be.
No, you think you are some high and mighty middle-of-the-road type, we got it. I'm going to let you in on a secret - the only things you will find in the middle of the road are yellow stripes and dead animals.
Nobody here screeches sound bites, sweetheart, we leave the spoon fed pablum to the brain dead left. Here you will find many thinkers and people of experience which is the heart of true conservatism and it would do you well to remember that. You might want to consider not spouting left leaning bullshit if you want to be taken seriously, though. None of what you posted is from any credible source and appears highly suspicious at best.
Anyone that would come on a conservative board and lament the fate of leftist trash does himself no good in trying to claim any type of conservatism. By definition, if it is not conservative, it is liberal. Kind of like there is really no "bisexual" - you either engage in certain kinds of behavior or you do not.
