jpjc2000 0 #78 November 20, 2010 It's always funny to watch and read both re-pukes and dem-dummies defend their position with useless attacks. Both the left and right political officials laugh all the way to the bank knowing they are simply a diversion to the real problems and who is running the show.

Kennedy 0 #80 November 20, 2010 QuoteQuoteSo Jeanne, do you think the article you posted is complete nonsense and inflamatory drivel, or should we turn this into your version of Chinese missile/ 9-11 nanothermite? You want to get grouped in with those two? So Kennedy, do you think the article I posted has any merit and do you believe that having private armies such as those could lead to right wing death squads such as so many of the graduates of the "School of the America's" have done for so many countries in South and Central America. The ideology is there, do you think they will follow through with seeing anything that does not agree with that ideology as a reason to act? I'll answer yours. Will you answer mine, or keep diverting? Does the article have any merit? Well, he used good grammar and spelling. That counts for something. And he managed to keep real entities as his main actors (as opposed to making up people or things). But other than that, no. His alleged relationships and actions were complete bullshit. Also, as I already addressed and you ignored, I don't put much value in people who suggest shredding the first amendment because of some imaginary fear. As to whether I think blackwater contractors are going to turn into roving death squads, well, let's just say I think it's about as likely as AF Security Forces turning into roving death squads. Should we should shut down blackhawk, gunsite, frontsight, and all gun ranges? Just in case? What do you think? I went to the link for your article. I didn't see an author's name anywhere on the page. I'd have been embarassed to put my name on it, too. So I clicked the "about us" link. That's when you see that the site is just one nutjob's personal rant blog. QuoteJoseph O’Shaughnessy is an editor and writer with experience in magazine publishing in both New York City and Chicago. He has been editor of trade journals, columnist, copywriter and publisher of his own periodical publications. For a number of years during the Bush Administration, he wrote and edited an early blog called “Bushwhacko.” He also spent many years in marketing, including over 12 years as head of his own advertising and publishing firm in Oak Brook, IL. He is a graduate of Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska. Congratulations. You agree with the leftwing version Rush Limbaugh. No, that's not fair. At least Rush is good enough at his schtick to be known left and right. Joey boy is just another radical hack. He's not even on par with writers to worldnetdaily. He can't even get on as a contributing writer somewhere, has to keep his own site.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kennedy 0 #83 November 20, 2010 Actually I wrote a junior thesis on America's intervensions abroad and their consequnces. Major sections revolved around funding insurgents and training revolutionaries. No offense, but I probably know more about the School of the Americas than you do. Maybe that's why I see the difference between that and things like training centers and governmentt contractors. So are you going to answer any of my questions?witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kennedy 0 #88 November 21, 2010 I understand what sort of folks were sent to the School of the Americas. I also understand what they were sent to learn. On the surface, it looks a lot like special forces training, but the plain fact is that it's not like SF. There's a reason they weren't just sent through established SF schools. Along those same lines, I see why you are concerned about places like Blackwater. The problem is that your concerns, like that POS article, are based on misconceptions (well, the article on idiocy and neuroses, too, but let's focus on your concerns). Give Moyock a call. Talk to them. They're not a bunch of raving lunatics. Some of the guys that trained me last month were trained there. I also don't recall LEO train the trainer courses at SotA. Blackwater does. Despeite the author's paranoia, blackwater is not some prep school for death squads. I also spent some time with military operators of a naval persuasion in the outer banks during their down time. I learned two things. These guys named after marine mammals actually do drink like fish, and they're very decent guys if you earn their respect. PS - don't act like not serving active military means a person doesn't qualify to discuss things. I know some (very few) who served and I wouldn't let them shine my boots. I know others who didn't serve and are very knowledgable and worth listening to (as decided by vets). Oh, and FYI, my squad has been shot at and fired more rounds in anger than most military squads. Not all who serve join a federal branch. There are others who serve in uniform without leaving the states.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AFSC 92170 SERE.. you know.. little things like interrogating people..How to stay alive.... teaching them how to RETURN WITH HONOR....
