I know how it sounds as a headline. I'd win over most with details. If your commanders commanders commander has a specific combat requirement and you as a non-deploying less experienced EP take a stand against the culture change, prepare to get fired. Send it to a different thread if you want more.

Disagree Bif; If the goal is occupying Kashmir, Pakistan for the win.

Lol, you've taken your analogy way beyond relevantly to this conversation. I'm def not an MC130 guy, commanders work for commanders, and evaluators will do what their boss says or lose the Q code 🤷‍♂️

Not a perfect comparison but I’ll play: No I do not to your first question; the second one has more than two options and it’s where your analogy falters. Stan/eval is a commanders program, and I fired an EP (once) for not evaluating in accordance to my directives. The gentlemen fired was safety focused to a fault, and I wanted to accept more risk for gains in combat. He wouldn’t change his outlook to account for the aggressive culture I was hired to facilitate, so I overrode his judgement, reclaimed the authority, and hired new EPs who got with the program. Good reply! I’ll start by saying I wholeheartedly agree with your last statement quoted. My understanding of POTUS perspective is a challenge on what constitutes “due process” as he’s searching for a streamlined system fit for circumstances. Getting 20 million people in front of a judge surpasses existing resources, and it was illegal for the previous administration to let them in. If the legal answer is impossible, what’s the real world solution? The people elected an executive who said “I’m deporting them” because they were tired of Laken Riley’s being murdered by illegal criminals. Democrat lawyers say “not so fast, rule of law!” (Ironic since they ignored rule of law to get the nation into this situation) and have frozen our executives ability to do what the people want. You’re right the best answer is congress to legislate, but absent that are we forced to accept millions of Venezuelan gangsters soaking up social resources and killing citizens? This issue was ignored for years when numbers were small & the people were mainly coming in to work. Under Biden some countries dumped their prison population on us, the amount of young Chinese men who entered is worrying from a national security POV. So thank you again for the thoughtful reply. What do you think POTUS should do since the courts cannot process the volume of people we’re dealing with?

You sort of addressed the question in your last sentence which was the nuance I sought to explore (SC rulings can be reversed or clarified when new situations arise, therefore an opinion on constitutional matters is in a different category than the document itself). But why are you putting words in my mouth & asserting what I believe? I’ll pass on engaging in discussion with you, needlessly combative.
-
Please reconcile for me the discrepancy between your statements here. Does the constitution actually say illegal criminal invaders require due process prior to deportation as you claim? Or has “it been decided” meaning a court issued an opinion on something not explicitly covered by the constitution?
-
I replied to him with a specific opinion on a specific subject one page back & got no response, so your accusation is invalidated. Instead he (or she!) is creating composite narratives with which to argue; a bad faith tactic and one for which there is no need since real people with opinions are right here. This is a fun page with lots of cool folks holding diverse perspectives yet shared experiences. It's priceless really. However trolls are sand in the gears and must be purged. Not saying this dude is one (you certainly aren't) but I am saying this conversational practice is a red flag, hence my sharper than normal rebuke.

Well said. Banzai your post is boring and your thoughts shallow. Is there a specific thing you want to talk about or is this general purpose amalgam condemnation?
-
From a philosophical standpoint I don't understand life in prison with hundreds of extra years versus the death penalty. Seems cruel to the offender and unsatisfying for victims. Just kill them. What am I missing about the utility of this punishment? I'd vote for that. With extra penalties if you hurt someone.

Fuck the SEALs. Plenty of good ones but an above average amount of shitbags for a Tiered organization. I worked at the Beach; they have a massive ego issue within the command. How anyone could see this account and not be excited to celebrate Chapman is beyond me but they’ve drawn it out for years. Disgusting.

Repeat drunk driver hammered off his ass middle of the day and driving to get more booze, that's who killed one of the finest warriors and family men produced by the USA. He won't last. Matt made so many people better during his too short time here, we'd all be lucky to have the same said for us. Life is precious, enjoy every minute with your loved ones.

GMAFB, you are presenting the false dilemma: treat an unprecedented mass of illegal murderous gang members with the same deliberate protections of law provided citizens or we cannot maintain the constitution. I reject your premise. Is there any doubt how our founding fathers would've handled this situation? They were actively driving out the natives & preventing additional British colonists from staying; it was obvious to those who wrote the constitution how/when "due process" applies and who is eligible. Yet now we're arguing to obey the constitution we have to do the opposite of what the authors intended? Go with your opinion on the mandatory Covid vaccine, forced closure of churches & arrests of people engaging in the free exercise of religion during that time, assault weapons bans, sham trials for J6, FISA court abuses....

Point of order: the 16-year-old son was not specifically targeted but was armed & at dinner with multiple named objectives. Also, he was killed by GBU54 is not a hellfire. Also, whoever found/fixed then lazed those bombs did not know the 16-year-old son was there, but had they known they would have killed him anyway 🇺🇸⚔️

She’s in deep shit legally, the question is if DOJ has the balls to prosecute under extreme media pressure to mislabel this as “going after political enemies” or other such mischaracterization.

Honestly these dudes seem to have a lot more fun at war than we do.
