Why would they have any weapons in this so called innocent place for a wedding? A place I might add that has been documented as a haven for militia members to cross the border back and fourth to Syria? |
Have you seen any decent pictures of the 'evidence'?
I saw one little thing that looked like maybe someone tool photo of a picture. I think I could tell what might be a shotgun from what I thought an AK. Even though I could not tell what much of them was it looked like damned poor arsenal for a place where "militia" members might be gathering.
I've seen some cuts from Iraqi video of a wedding party. All who have seen that video claim that they can recognize people and objects from that video in the aftermath video.
US sure seems to me to being stingy about publishing even the pictures displayed as evidence to the press. I wonder why about that?
Batteries wired up in unusual fashion? - Crap. I have had all sorts of occasion to tape batteries together and stick wires to them and would not see a lot of use doing that for initiating blasting caps since a 9v battery and some crap out of a junk radio would work just fine to whip up some sort of capacitor discharge gizmo.
There was no mention of anything to initiate with them batteries though. |

Guess I just have trust and faith in our military telling the truth. Their word is enough for me.

Some folks profess a theory that a criminal who gets arrested for a thing likely did a lot more criminal things than he got caught for.
I subscribe to that idea as a generality. I suppose there is a number of folks who got caught their first time out. Then there is some who got caught for something they didn't do.
Now I did a lot of stuff and got caught for more things I had not done than things I had done. I tried to use some degree of cauttion about stuff I had done but didn't be cauthious to not get caught at what I had not done.
I figure the same theory works as well for police or the military.
Is there stages to such stuff?
"It didn't happen"
"It was an isolated incident"
"Well, that other thing was an isolated incident too"
How much time did anyone do for Mai Lai?
Ironic how that sounds like "My lie" |

Are you saying that all our military should be considered criminals? If not what is the purpose of your dribble? I don't get it, sounds like a broken record to me.

No. That is your dribble.
You are just an all or nothing kinda guy.
Myself thinks that there are criminals who just seem to be so by nature. Even in prison they are a minority.
Other than that there are people who might involve in "crime" such as they be criminal as circumstance makes them - or they give in to circumstance.
Another minority is folks who will risk much to go against peers or authority or whatever to stand for what they see as right.
I have not known MP's. I don't know how much their training is different from regular police. I would hate to see what would com of suddenly putting a bunch of street cops into a prison to work as prison cops without a lot of CO training.
Then throw in that the most of prisoners know they didn't do a damned thing and a lot of them will surely be more bitchy than criminals who are aquainted with the system.
They way most of prison cops I have seen were pretty cool. Even the ones I thought ******** it seemed that their peers didn't think so highly of them either.
Of course I was only in levl one and two. - Would never have been in level two if some county idiot had not written me down as being born in 1975.
Oh well - most folks can be cool enough in everyday circumstance. Given the right set of circumstance and most folks may well respond poorly. |
