    So in your mind, words without prefixes are just they same word WITH prefixes, just shortened?

    The conservatism and neoconservatism are not the same. Liberalism and paleoliberalism are not the same thing.

    Bush was not a conservative.

    My man. I know PLENTY about Article 15's TYVM.

    In it, it describes what UCMJ articles were violated.

    "On or about such-and-such-date you did knowingly disobey a direct order by 2LT Butterbar, a person known to you to be a Commissioned Officer of the United States, in violation of Articles 90 and 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice..."

    Read lots of them on staff duty while the extra duty on a 45-and-45 buffs the floor.

    Article 134 of the UCMJ covers anything. As in, even if it's not against the rules, what ever you did is against the rules. Also, Indecent Acts With a Public Animal (my favorite).

    Article 92 would be disobeying an order.

    Article 90 would be disobeying a superior commissioned officer.

    Here's the thing, guys.

    If you knew how military officers work, it goes like this: Something is wrong, they do *SOMETHING*. It doesn't matter what it is, they just have to be seen doing something.

    Some news organizations say the military isn't accepting PTSD? Fine, every returning troop is basically TOLD they have PTSD. The VA sells it to you. The military psychs try to talk you into it. They make videos, brochures, send people out to spread the word, loud and clear: It's okay to admin you have PTSD (even if you don't)!

    The military ALWAYS has an answer. Parachuting into powerlines? Wigle your body front to back in cadence to the song "Wire Wire Wire". Does it work? Who knows...but they had to have an answer in case someone asks.

    A few people kill themselves? Oh jeezus...double the Suicide Prevention briefs. More powerpoints. More online classes. More assessments and dollars spent! Does it help? Who knows...if it doesn't then we will double it again! We'll keep them in suicide classes 24/7 just to keep an eye on them!

    So someone is mad about wikileaks? A general gets an email, and before you know it...here we are.

    Yeah, you are right.

    Thinking that a Supreme Court justice (who is supposed to determine if things are in keeping with the US Constitution) should uphold free speech....well that's downright stupid.

    The USA was built on the Free Enterprise System. For better or worse, it is THE system of free people. This woman lamented the supposed reduction in socialism (her words).

    honestly, should you pay less towards defense, fire dept, police, mosquito abatement, and social services just cause your car gets a few more MPG? should your neighbors be paying extra to cover the cost of your public education system just cause your car has extra batteries?
