US soldier goes on rampage in Afghanistan killing 16 innocent civilians

[QUOTE="ghoklebutter"][QUOTE="ad1x2"]Fact of the matter is young men and women joining the military should have at least some sense of intelligence when trying to enlist.D3nnyCrane

I don't get it. You're prefer a system of forced conscription rather than a volunteer service and only over a couple years difference? Seriously?

Right, but with the draft you have the same group going into service, only in this case against their will.

*U.S Government goes on rampage in the world killing 16,000 innocent civilians over the last how many decades?*

Everyone has done their fair share of killing innocents, get off your high horse.

as long as its the americans doing the killing,that must mean its justified.

"I was in Nashville, Tennessee last year. After the show I went to a Waffle House. I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me: 'Hey, whatcha readin' for?' Isn't that the weirdest fvcking question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading, but what am I reading FOR? Well, goddamnit, ya stumped me! Why do I read? Well . . . hmmm...I dunno...I guess I read for a lot of reasons and the main one is so I don't end up being a fvckn' waffle waitress."

He should be convicted to the fullest extent of the law. This isn't a case of collateral damage on a mission, this is a case of straight up murder without any tactical goals. Not to mention giving the Taliban and other Islamic militants yet another propaganda tool right after the Koran burning.

THE WORLD IS LIKE A RIDE AT AN AMUSEMENT PARK, AND WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO GO ON IT, YOU THINK IT'S REAL, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW POWERFUL OUR MINDS ARE. AND THE RIDE GOES UP AND DOWN AND ROUND AND ROUND AND IT HAS THRILLS AND CHILLS AND IT'S VERY BRIGHTLY COLORED AND IT'S VERY LOUD. AND IT'S FUN, FOR A WHILE.

SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ON THE RIDE FOR A LONG TIME, AND THEY BEGIN TO QUESTION: 'IS THIS REAL? OR IS THIS JUST A RIDE?' AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REMEMBERED, AND THEY COME BACK TO US AND THEY SAY 'HEY! DON'T WORRY, DON'T BE AFRAID - EVER - BECAUSE... THIS IS JUST A RIDE.' AND WE KILL THOSE PEOPLE.... SEE MORE

'SHUT HIM UP! WE HAVE A LOT INVESTED IN THIS RIDE! SHUT HIM UP! LOOK AT MY FURROWS OF WORRY; LOOK AT MY BIG BANK ACCOUNT, AND MY FAMILY. THIS HAS TO BE REAL.'

IT'S JUST A RIDE. BUT WE ALWAYS KILL THOSE GOOD GUYS WHO TRY AND TELL US THAT - EVER NOTICE THAT? - AND WE LET THE DEMONS RUN AMOK. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER, BECAUSE... IT'S JUST A RIDE, AND WE CAN CHANGE IT ANY TIME WE WANT. IT'S ONLY A CHOICE. NO EFFORT. NO WORRY. NO JOB. NO SAVINGS AND MONEY. JUST A CHOICE, RIGHT NOW, BETWEEN FEAR AND LOVE. THE EYES OF FEAR WANT YOU TO PUT BIGGER LOCKS ON YOUR DOOR, BUY GUNS, CLOSE YOURSELF OFF. THE EYES OF LOVE, INSTEAD, SEE ALL OF US AS ONE.

HERE'S WHAT WE CAN DO TO CHANGE THE WORLD, RIGHT NOW, INTO A BETTER RIDE. TAKE ALL THAT MONEY WE SPEND ON WEAPONS AND DEFENSE EACH YEAR AND, INSTEAD, SPEND IT FEEDING, CLOTHING AND EDUCATING THE POOR OF THE WORLD, WHICH IT WOULD DO MANY TIMES OVER - NOT ONE HUMAN BEING EXCLUDED - AND WE CAN EXPLORE SPACE TOGETHER, BOTH INNER AND OUTER, FOREVER.

Is this now a Billy Hicks appreciation thread?

You never see a positive drug story on the news. They always have the same LSD story. You've all seen it: "Today a young man on acid … thought he could fly … jumped out of a building … what a tragedy!" What a dick. He's an idiot. If he thought he could fly, why didn't he take off from the ground first? Check it out? You don't see geese lined up to catch elevators to fly south; they fly from the fvcking ground. He's an idiot. He's dead. Good! We lost a moron? Fvcking celebrate. There's one less moron in the world.

[QUOTE="Xx_Socrates_xX"][QUOTE="BossPerson"]I don't buy that for a second. You can justify anything by saying someone went insane. He left his base walked, around the village, he knew what he was doing.BossPerson

If the thread isn't related to religion, Conservative, or rap bashing the thread gets derailed fast. Although this one goes in and out of topic since it still opens up the occasional USA bashing.

It probably should have been locked 10 pages ago.

Couldn't hack it, shouldn't be a soldier.

Don't know about you guys but in this country people with mental health issues aren't allowed in the military. It's like it's a requirement to have mental health issues just to sign up for the armed forces of america these days.

Well, if he's not relevent enough to you to be worth a mention from you

then you wouldn't have made this frivolously contrived post directed at him

Like you're relevant enough to me to be worth a mention. achilles614
