The programs you are complaining about are the work of the current government, not the founding fathers. The means to remove them exist, should the people decide to do so.
Again, you can only see change coming with your death? You are so narrow minded you cannot see other means? And I will firmly state change within the system is impossible only so long as people believe it is. You are falling for the very lies you are complaining others are.

And I'm sure you can detail me every manner he compromised security? Every person working for the US Government is doing evil?
You paint with very broad strokes.....
Wow, so you are actually ASKING for other countries to attack us? You would willingly let countries like Nazi-Germany in WW2 run rampant over Europe because we shouldn't intervene? What stops them from attacking us then? Or say letting Japan in WW2 take over the Pacific ocean?
You can't shoot a marked, unarmed medical vehicle. They should have slapped a red cross on the side. Instead they used the same type of unmarked van that had been used to transport insurgents and weapons. As for the reporters, sure its sad, but it's also predictable when you embed yourself with armed militants in a war zone.
Wow you are so ridiculous. Please just leave the country, you aren't American at all if you wish anyone harm for any reason. Even if I disagree with anything anyone has done, doesn't mean something bad should happen to them. Its almost like you are saying all of our troops should be killed simply because one pilot did something.
The state by it's very nature is evil and unethical because it survives through brute force and "legalized" theft.
So what do you suggest other than casting futile votes for third party candidates (who almost NEVER win) and protesting (10 years of ineffectual Middle East war protests with no change)?

I'm a non interventionist but for all the unnecessary killing, droning, bombing, destruction and irradiation of entire regions this country is guilty of, it deserves a bit in return. Do you even realize how much death and destruction america has spread around the world?

For example, a soldier who is a medic doesn't get an out by saying "but I'm just a medic, I didn't hurt anyone!". He indirectly hurt people by enabling the people who fight.
The military is a machine. All parts must be working in order for it to be effective.
For some reason I thought this was about Eastenders...........
Okay so this doesn't make any sense to me.
He can be convicted to a max of 136 years right so say he is what the hell is the point of this daft number?
I mean why not just sentence him to life without the possibility of parole, giving a guy 136 years is well sorry to say stupid, it's not like he is the bloody wolverine or the highlander.

That is batshit insane.
I'm sorry.
But that is batshit insane.
I truly want you to understand Arcanist, you're in the irrelevant minority. I want you to know, that big government you think is crushing you? Well it's not, but it is completely disregarding your insane, irrational position on issues.
Enjoy irrelevancy.
Its because he's been convicted of 19 offenses and each offense carries between 2 and 10 years depending on the crime (or if he plead guilty to one of them already). The sum of it is 136 years.
It's like how that guy in Ohio got life plus 1000 years. On the charge that carried life as a penalty, he was jailed for life. On all additional counts - for him it was like 700 or something - he plead guilty and was given the appropriate penalty for each of those.
Now you may think, logically, well if he's serving life, whats the point? It's judicial in nature. Since he is charged with a host of crimes, even if he is found guilty of the one that carries life, he must be found either guilty or not guilty of all the others... they can't procedurally leave them hanging. The sum of it came to 1000 years.
In manning's case, he escaped Aiding the Enemy, which came with a life sentence (or execution, which he was never in danger for). But the sum of the penalties for his lists of transgressions he was charged with adds up to 136.
More realistically, he'll probably get 50-80 years, which means he'll die in Prison, which is good, or get out in the late 21st century, which is also good.
a soldier may sign up knowing he will one day be deployed, but he doesn't get to chose where, nor what missions to partake in. ou want to blame someone? Blame the policy makers and those that support the policy makers.
Seriously, by saying that shit about the medic being just as responsible, by that illogical leap you also deserve punishment because you pay taxes that pay their salaries!
my one and only post on this because its not worth getting heated over an opinion that out there.

Oh trust me. I'm not going to engage that man. He's crazier than bag of cats.
Anyone who seriously claims medics are a legitimate target because they enable the war machine does not deserve to be taken seriously. It's seriously beyond birther level crazy. I honestly don't think I've heard something as completely nuts all year, and boy have I heard some crazy as shit things.
I blame them both. Looking at what this country has done around the world for the past 4-5 decades would dissuade me from EVER joining in any sort of capacity. Someone who joins fully knows what they're getting into.
I don't pay taxes voluntarily. This money is extracted under pain of caging or death.

Explain what's wrong with the statement. Or is it the case that you're offended and simply dislike what I said?
Um.. No. Get lost. I'm not going to waste my life engaging with someone who thinks Medics are legitimate targets. Like seriously. It's self evident why that is madness to all but people with diseased minds. It's as legitimate opinion as like saying we should bring back Jim Crow because black / white integration has been a messy failure. It's batshit nuts and people who express mad opinions like that should have vegetables thrown at them, not engaged as a peer.
Let me put it another way, what you're writing is compelling people to shake their heads in disbelief at the utter insanity of it. They aren't inspired to engage with you. You're one of those people that makes mentally balanced people say "oh god... the internet is at it again....."
