1. Keep an open mind

I read everything I can get my hands on.

2. That Would Be Something

both perfectly terrifying and perfectly heroic. Better by far just an off-the-cuff execution, Mafia style: maximally effective, simpler, only one suicide sacrifice required and automatic stop-loss, the rest can clean up after.

3. I don't know how legitimate that story is BUT....

there has to still be some patriotic Ameicans left in the top brass of our military and intelligence agencies. You'ld have to be brain dead or brainwashed not to see that fascism is here. I can't believe they would stand by and do nothing while fascism takes over. Something is going on...we are living in an amazing time in world history, but what that something is I have no earthly idea.

4. I can only say....

I certainly hope so...what everyone must remember is that even though a 4* is responsible to his CIC....he also has a certain level of responsibility to his troops, and to the American people as a whole...Would it be so hard to believe that the military is getting sick and tired of being Bush's patsy, is it so hard to believe that a military man/men question the authority of a man/men who have never served or served responsibly, or that they question the actions or motivations of those who have never experienced war first hand?....IF the story is true...then we have an example of a true patriot on our hands...hope he lives long enough to accomplish his goal, even if it might have to be through the private sector...
