I agree. Or be issued a weapon when they check in on post. Or have the officers and NCOs carry when on duty. Or certain commanders and first shirts carry. |
Somehow I don't think opiate of the masses fits here . . .
or does it? ahh - blind faith - a true gift from God

Well, in Islam, death in Jihad gets you straight to Jannah and it's guaranteed. You also skip over the trial of the grave. In Islam, if you lead a good life, you still have to go through the trials/fire of the grave and you will be judged by Allah, and if he finds you lacking, you do not get into Jannat, you go to hell. Thus, the only guaranteed way to Jannah in Islam is death in Jihad. |
Thank you for letting us know you are a Marxist. Now please go away until you have something meaningful to contribute to this discussion of the massacre of 4 innocent Marines in Tennessee. Everyone else: please keep these brave Marines and their families in your prayers and thoughts during this difficult time; and pray for a speedy recovery of the police officer shot in the ankle yesterday. |
I don’t think it is a coincidence that both he and the head Boston bomber practiced the head-punching arts.
Multiple blows to the head decrease impulse control. A normal person might be pissed off about the United States’ middle east policy, but somebody who has taken dozens of punches to the brain would be more likely to lash out in incredibly stupid ways like this. |
I made the same argument regarding Tamerlan Tsarnaev and everyone thought that I had taken a few blows to the head. |

While I am not convinced that blows to the head were a significant factor, I agree that - from the initial reports - there seem to be parallels to the Tsarniev brothers case: -all three terrorists seemed to have been well liked by classmates, who all voiced shock that the people they knew had turned to violent jihad; -all three had the benefit of a western education and seemed to do fine academically; -all three do not seem to have always been devout or come from overly devout families - which suggests fairly recent "radicalization" As a guess, I would bet that the investigation of this terrorists computer will reveal increasing interest in online radical sites (even though he apparently did not post his own views beyond 2 kind of vague blog posts). Perhaps this area needs to be a greater focus for DHS and other authorities to stop radicalization from happening. |
+100...you hit the nail on the head with this post. Unfortunately, there will be people who fail to seriously consider the merits of your post. |
Only mentally ill whites commit crimes. Everyone knows that whites are a peaceful people-always have been. White people created law and order for the world. If you read the history books, you will learn that the world was in chaos and darkness, prior to white people creating order through the Hammurabi Code, 10 commandments, Magna Carta, US constitution, etc. No sane white person would ever commit a crime. |
The terrorist seems to have travelled not only to Jordan (not that controversial; their king is an ally of ours and pro-western) but also to:
Yemen. That is an entirely different matter (not just because there is a war going on there). The attack on the USS Cole happened there and it's a hotbed of terrorism. Seems like another parallel to the Boston case, but again, it's early in the investigation. |
Military member are allowed to defend us, but not themselves. There is a stated threat against them and their families. No more 'gun free' work zones. Those that have gun permits should be allowed to carry concealed personal weapon off duty, if they wish. This has happened twice at recruiting centers. When does it move into other realms? They protect us. Let them protect themselves. Surely if anyone is trained to responsibly carry a weapon, they are. |

You may still display the confederate flag on your car or home. It has not been banned. It has simply been removed from many government buildings - where it should not have been flown. |
