From a neutral observer it seems both of them are fixated on leading this country towards a civil war. Whether that is their intentions or just their arrogance playing out. We’re a long way from civil war. The military won’t break. Our military is designed so that one general can’t go rogue. Thankfully we won’t have that problem in the foreseeable future.

When do you suppose politicians and their supporters will begin to find a middle ground and compromise on major issues for the betterment of the American people? When do you suppose the media outlets will cease their manipulation of the American people and allow them to develop their own informed opinions? Neither of those things will be happening, will they? The tensions will continue to rise until hell breaks loose. You don't need a rogue general with tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our republic is less of a representative body, and more so an oligarchy with powerful families at the top. We take for granted how we got here. Duty and service to country are ideas mocked at in today’s ‘me-generation.’ We very much have a spoiled society society to the point where our poor are spoiled. The military industrial complex is a gross necessary evil. I don’t doubt an eventual fall from grace, but I doubt it will be due to real fighting. Political gridlock? Yeah. Probably. But I doubt there’s real street fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re all hardasses until the bad guy isn’t at a disadvantage. Then, rather than manuo they fall back. Sickening. Gutless. Children were dying. Happened at Columbine too. Just thank god no officers were hurt. False. False. And, false. History is not replete with cowardly cops at the moment of truth. You pick up on one story of a cop unwilling to undertake a likely suicide mission by fighting a rifle with a pistol (based on preliminary information), and you equate that across all lines of law enforcement operations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Not even close. First, it was multiple cops at this high school, not just the one coward. Half of a company of cops stood outside columbine. Cops shoot at unarmed black men the second they get scared. Cops are pussies but should we expect any better considering their low standards and pay?
