Woah. I just had a major weirdness occur logging on to comment to this post, so I don’t know, Kevin, but methinks we are being tracked vy Big Brother and the Holding Company re this article.
Yea and fluck you, Big Brother for tracking comments.
This is insanity, maybe not at its finest hour, but getting close to it. Flucking deep dive bombing this poor m-effer for exposing something.
Don’t know what he did. Don’t know the information revealed.
But when mil.gov doesn’t like what you’ve done, I guess this is a prime example of becoming toast; grist for the military war machine and it sucks.
So muuch for all that whistleblower protection. I guess it doesn’t apply when you are being paid to kill people in foreign lands, know there’s shit happening that would make the god/dess puke, etc. Fluck you if you are calling the game for what it is. According to this article, you are going to be court martialed for it.
I’m old enough to remember the shit that hit the fan when the news of what was happening in Vietnam crossed our TV screens daily.
It was very graphic to say the least.
Then all the much not older than me people were doing all kinds of things to fight against that war. I was very frightened for them, for my family, and being alive at such at time.
The news (which I don’t watch anymore -disconnected the cable) doesn’t tell us anything remotely similar to what I learned about the Vietnam war.
WAR, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing, except for the “economy.” What a joke.
Using computer access crimes to persecute this poor Bradley fellow. My god/dess.
Sign to me that WAR has become the diety for the TPTB who imagine they control this planet.
YEY VERILY,if the TPTB want a war on us peoples and their troops that grunt along for them, they’ve picked the wrong battle.
They don’t own this planet; they don’t own me, they are running my country, but I don’t think for long now.
This war beast is going to die. Starving Americans while we spend life and treasure in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The “war party” I think ia about to have a massive face plant in the sand. Its over.
God/dess bless all involved with these wars.
If they want to come home, god/dess Bring them home.
