I believe it has a lot with the type of people that join. You have people joining looking for a purpose in life and when they realize that the military cannot provide that they get into those dark places.

Key word there is deployed.

Literally the first sentence of the article you just linked agreed with my point

Not at all. I don't make a lot of traffic stops but if I'm working one of my usual districts where RBI's and shootings happen way too often and I make a traffic stop on Chad from the local university, hell yeah I'm gonna ask him where he's going and/or where is he coming from. And for him to get...

1) In all honesty, never. I hope it would end one day but it'll never end. It wouldn't affect my job at all either. 2) The people of my state elected the people that make these laws into office. If the people want the laws gone, vote them out and put in people who will make that happen. 3)...

A young middle class/upper middle class white guy in some of the districts I patrol would be really out of place.

I'll ask if I think the driver is dwi or if they're genuinely out of place.

How large is your department? Is your Chief have a love affair with PERF like ours does? Do y'all get crisis intervention training? I've thought about doing a thread like this before but I'm still a boot on probation, so naw.

Trump probably doesn't know about cluster munitions. He probably asked one of his military advisors why they didn't target the runways and that's likely the answer they gave him. He's just regurgitating it on Twitter. Please believe the guys with stars on their shoulders and collars do care...

You don't hit runways using conventional munitions. You hit them with cluster munitions. And I can only imagine the news stories if he authorized the use of cluster munitions. And are you really comparing a commercial airliner to combat aircraft? Of course the runway requirements are gonna be...

This I agree with. If he is really that hell bent on denying Syrian refugees how about we stay the hell out of Syria.

I fully support raising taxes in the case of legitimate conflicts. It helps keep politicians in check.

I'm sure you want military spending cut, but want to maintain our commitment to NATO and the UN.

I'm a Trumpster? News to me. I post here when certain topics I'm knowledgeable on come up. Please find a post of me defending Trump. I'll wait.

I'm not defending Trump. I'm criticizing the post I quoted. Syria isn't America's business. Our time and effort should be put into Iraq.

Because Democrats never start wars. Nope, never happens.

It's a bit of both. The reason we spend so much on defense is because we actually compensate our troops decently well.

^^ Look man, I know you hate Trump, but blaming this on him is like blaming the shoot down of Extortion 17 or the death of Linda Norgrove on Obama. Even though there are some idiots out there that do actually blame Obama for the shoot down of Extortion 17.

So don't give the go ahead when a Commander of a SMU says they are ready to execute? This op was likely "planned" a while ago. JSOC isn't your normal military. When there's a change of command like this a lot of times they'll put forward missions that a few months from now would get denied...
