  1. Re:Get over it. on A Letter On Behalf of the World's PC Fixers · · Score: 1

  9. Re:Military Law != Civilian Law on Bradley Manning Charged With Aiding the Enemy · · Score: 1

    yea news flash the draft is no longer in effect, this guy volunteered, was an adult, and understood what he was doing - if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

  15. Re:No rule of law in America on Army Psy Ops Units Targeted American Senators · · Score: 1

    I Was in the army, the article was done in full on michael moore mode. The disgruntled officer in question is an IO officer and not a MISO/PSYOP officer. http://wn.com/Kabul's_Bala_Hissar_Narrated_by_Lt_Col_Mike_Holmes He identifies himself as such. According FM 3-0 His job was "The inform line of effort provides information to domestic and foreign audiences with accurately described operations . . . Informing does not force or make a decision for the actors but provides them with facts. Providing factual and accurate information counters false information (misinformation or disinformation) disseminated by others." They were just asking him to do his fucking job. Also His civilian job is running a strategic communications firm. I'd say that someone found out he was a real-world marketing guy and decided to use that. RS Is just trying to continue to make money off their McChrystal article Additionally He was National Guard, and The National Guard does not have PSYOP units

Until the FDA approves the recycled helium for humans, however Woods anticipates this may be a way for veterinarians to access the coveted helium-3. not that it would matter
