I'm a coward, J. I won't watch this Link.
It is a crying shame that the Gitmo detainees and convicts in our prisons get better care than these folk. And it is a worse shame that we don't have a Leader who'd stand up and employ rogue presidential power to change it and do what's right for the GOOD FOLK. And then challenge anybody to challenge the veracity of solid Constitutional overreach.
Disgusting. And painful to even contemplate.

FIFY.
See, responses like yours betray your bias, prove that you are uninformed, and like most posters here, agenda-driven.
But you knew that already.

I do have a "bias" and "agenda", HD. We all should. And it should be to do what is right; I.e., to establish Law/Government that rewards folk who do the right (moral) thing, and punish them who don't. So, in that respect, me and Obama see the MO as being the same...just that we don't see eye to eye in regard to WHAT is Ideologically just and right. He's an old line Marxist, with a racial chip on this shoulder, IMO. Rev. Wright and Frank Marshall Davis being his "mentor", and "spiritual leader". Them dogs won't hunt!
He believes in 'social justice'...no qualifiers. Neither God (traditional theological version), Darwin/Mother Nature, or me...believes that. In fact, I think it's suicidal. God and Mother Nature play the big picture; they're neutral, as to us learning the hard way. I prefer the easy.
Other than a bit of wisdom from God: "Behold, there is a way that SEEMETH RIGHT unto man, but the end thereof is destruction".

There is no excuse for Phoenix.
But the military is and has been working on suicide reductions.
War is awful.

You know, the first step towards treating our veterans better is not sending them into combat so lightly.
Who couldn't see this coming back in 2003?

You lost me right here. You're all over the place. And your opening diatribe looks like a carbon-copy of Sean Hannity talking points.
You are on the right board, at least.

I doubt sailors are killing themselves like soldiers & Marines.

We've argued this aplenty, ever since Bush sent em' in...to "win hearts and minds".
The bottom line to all this is that if hit hard again by Islamists...there will be no compassionate warfare toward the complicit Nation/State/Regions that enable the aggressors.
It was a lot about the free flow of Market Priced oil...but no more. We can no more go into downtown Baghdad than we can downtown Chicago, and kill bad guys without driving their families insane with hatred. This stuff is religion and blood kin, racism and tribalism.
We learned one hard-assed lesson re Islam over there, and our kids and best and bravest are paying the price. No more boots on the ground. Period. It'll be bombs...if all else fails.
Screw this model; good intentions nws.
