Yes, and how does that work. We were told that it was a legal invasion. MANY other countries supported the invasion. There is no way the typical grunt would have enough knowledge to make a well informed decision on that. How exactly does the typical grunt know that the WMD thing was BS?
The point of it is when your CO tells you to shoot unarmed civilians, it is your job to refuse. It is when your CO gives you orders that obviously contravene the constitution, your job is to say no. When your CO orders you to haze someone, the answer is no. When your CO orders you to cover up his crimes, the answer is no. These are the things in which the enlisted person knows for a fact he would be breaking the law by following the order. Knowing whether or not the entire war is lawful is above your pay grade.
When the NSA tells its workers to spy on Americans, those workers either DO know, or SHOULD know that it would be in violation of the 4th amendment. That means they are following unlawful orders.
If the order is unconstitutional, or against international laws of war, then it was your job to refuse. They gave classes on both during basic training. Easy enough to grasp the concepts.
I find your take on the situation to be way more offensive.
If I had mod points I would also mod you troll. I cannot in good conscious believe that anyone would seriously take the position you have. You must be trolling.
Question, besides the American public who does the NSA consider as adversaries. I want an answer to that. Seems like the journalist asked a pertinent question that her viewers/readers are curious about.
YES! This. If I want to force people to listen to me via bone conduction then that is my right of free speech! Just like purchasing.. ohh I mean lobbying politicians is FREE SPEECH.
Oh but protesting is not free speech, cant we get rid of those protesters, or relegate them to a corner somewhere?
I am actually tired of the free speech argument, in todays world it is only free speech if you have the money to pay for it. Perhaps if they expanded the definition to include all people we might be able to talk.
Thats funny they taught us in the military that it was our personal responsibility to refuse to follow an unlawful order. The whole "I was just following orders" routine didn't work at Nuremberg, and should not work here. I just wish the other government agencies held that belief.
We have the Bill of Rights which include some things like the 4th amendment. Things that would prevent the majority from taking advantage of the minority. Too bad the Bill of Rights has been suspended.

Some vehicles. I just replaced the stereo in an 07 Altima. Some of the new vehicles require crazy adapters, and some are not easily replaceable due to no standard faceplate, and heavy integration of the computers car in the system. In fact I lost access to the button on my steering wheel that toggles the dash display of things like the trip odometer, and DTE.
I think I am becoming convinced that Ubuntu is going with all of these crazy ideas that MS invariable follows solely to bring about the Year of the desktop Linux.
You phrased it badly then. It has some characteristics similar to company scrip, but it is more akin to a tax on the employees that the banks/business profit from.
Without seeing what all was given on both sides that is a hard determination to make. My guess is that you are leaving other pertinent info out of the conversation.
The problem here is you assume I do not like it because I have done something. I do not like it because it is an invasion of my privacy. Where I go and when I go there is none of their business without a warrant.
What right do they have to know where I go and when with my vehicle? None? It is one thing when someone takes down a suspicious vehicle's plate and reports it in, and a completely different to have a computer categorize all plates heading anywhere. All of the sudden everyone is suspicious.
If you look at his previously posted comments you will also notice he has signed it with two different names. In one he claims to be a "Security consultant"

Two lions and a sheep vote on whats for dinner...

I think I'd like to be a Kwik-e-mart.
I would agree with that. I just hate to see anyone defending one while decrying the other. I hate hypocrites.
See you posted AC because you know people can supply just as much evidence that Faux does the same thing.

I do own a Nexus 7. I have yet to see any ads on the home screen. Why are you spreading BS?

Thanks! We can always count on JustANormalShill !

That money is taken from workers accounts.

I am fine with that, but then companies can no longer lobby either. I am willing to bet they cause more problems then the unions with their lobbying.
You have some pent up anger there, what happened did someone in a red hat hurt your mother or something?

At the point that an RC plane can carry enough explosives to harm something it is more akin to a drone.
Shoot some small drones don't even have the payload capacity to carry weapons.
