injurai Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 It's was held because the military serves the people and being volunteer based their biggest selling point is moving people up economically and offering them a career out of serving the nation. They have a responsibility to uphold fair standards and be transparent. Given our current social times, now is not the time to send mixed messaging with non-transparent internal procedures. They want to make a strong clear statement and move on. I don't understand what is childish about anything there, one of the more sensible and adult stands I've seen taken for a while.

Its okay Gfted1, I can completely understand you finding comfort temporarily in the arms of other crewmen....Im sure everyone did it back then.

Zoraptor Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Fascist state, maybe. After all, the logo of the Guarda Civil has literal fasces, and (iirc) somewhat bizarrely it was changed to that after Generalissimo Fransisco Franco had died. Hard to think of a dumber response from Madrid, they managed to turn a referendum that would have had the double negative of a low turn out and (at best) tepid support for secession- and which could thus be easily ignored- into a matter of pride where a low turn out can be blamed on repression and voting against Madrid is a matter of pride and resistance. And it's an issue that will be repeatedly revisited now and has exposed the still festering wounds of the Civil War. Utterly moronic. It's not like a referendum would have put the issue fully to bed, but continually seeking to reiterate the issue after a vote has not been great electorally, per the SNP and the Bloc.

HA! Good Fun! I don't object to the message I just think it childish to hold a rally because someone said ****. This is the military, I would expect they would have thicker skin. At the minimum you must not have spoken with any actual combat veterans, or read many soldiers' memoirs, or seen many war movies. Unlike other professions where trust in the person beside you and the ability to act cohesively and harmoniously are big pluses, in the military profession they become functional requirements for _survival_. Edited October 1, 2017 by Agiel Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling

I also know that they don't become emotionally invested in someone that might not be alive next week. Psychopathy is a big thing among troops; part of the job even, you have to be able to clear a room and step over the corpses without lingering. Also, where the **** do you get off quoting war movies as a reliable source?

I am aware of the why, is the how that bothers me. Rallies, no matter where they're held are indicative of the divide between workers and management. You'd think they wouldn't want to announce or make a big deal of it, this all reeks of preemptive apologizing. Which as any organization that has dealt with SJW culture will tell you, is pointless.

Chilloutman Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 what interest me is if he got licence to carry. If he got than US seriously need to re-evaluate how often you need to renew it.... I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

Blarghagh Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 If only there had been one good dude with a gun at that country festival, someone could have easily stopped the perp on the 32nd floor.
Gfted1 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 If only there had been one good dude with a gun at that country festival, someone could have easily stopped the perp on the 32nd floor. A great American hero, Dan Bilzerian, was there and left to get his gun. Unfortunately, the cowardly geriatric shooter shot himself before Dan could storm the hotel room.
Gfted1 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Man, he must have been some kinda sniper or something. Im not sure he even fired 406 shots! Must have been getting 2-3 people per bullet.
Guard Dog Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) From whbat they eyewitnesses are describing the shooter was using an automatic weapon. Based on the nummber or rounds fired without stoping and the rate of fire it sounds like a drum fed or belt fed weapon. Those are illegal in all 50 states in case you were wondering. Edit: Listen to this. Definitely full auto. He fired around 200 rounds then stops. Then starts again. My guess is drum fed full auto machine gun. Not loud enough to be one of the .30 cal variants. Probably .223 https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/news/rapid-fire-shots-heard-at-las-vegas-concert/vi-AAsM6WR?ocid=spartanntp&ffid=gz Edited October 2, 2017 by Guard Dog "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
