    the military ...

    Whatever kind of problem it is, it's getting worse:

    964 flag rank officers.
    12,000+ O-6s
    Almost 29,000 0-5s
    Only 15% of officers involved in combat operations.

    I did hear about Native Africans and Native Americans that were aggressively occupying land our European Ancestors wanted. We sure did teach those bastards.

    If they would just have been peaceful and not resisted us kicking them the fuck out of “our” land maybe they would have done better.

    there's no such thing as our land and their land. land is neutral. it belongs to he who can take it, and only for as long as he can and keep it. let's not be naive.

    Underneath all arguments for State's Rights, peaceful protest, democratic process, left vs right, and all the other hoopla we always hear about is that basic fact. Think you own your land? Stop paying your taxes and wait awhile. The real owner of the land is eventually going to show up with a gun to explain the error in your premise.
