US hints at Edward Snowden plea bargain to allow return from Russia.

90. I'm feelin' ya, man

I don't know why liberals would want to fracture over this bullshit issue of what's right and what's clearly fuckin' wrong. These asshholes at the top are grade A mafia and corporatists are runnin' the gig. Then, you get the ignorant, the devoted and the sand baggers that come here trashing their own god damned rights (willingly!).
I'm sick and tired on how people have become so gullible. All my brothers are VN vets and not only did we fight but a lot of us came back to protest this MIC adventure/profit/naked boobs. I'm a scooter rider and I've never taken an ass beat down like I did when protesting that god awful war. Never bled that much out of 'the world' either.
This stupid divide between all libertarians because a few are jerks doesn't mean we might just share a few strengths, you know, like freedom from illegal search and seizure.
Divide & Conquer© is a classic way to keep people- people that should think of all of us as a tribe- apart and fearful.
My only hope, in these my final days, is that the flow of information reaches enough people to realize the truth. Before they pull the plug, that is (thank you, Net Unneutrality).

For security reasons (for my buddy), I won't tell you his name but I saw what unnecessary conflict does to a soul. He served in the newly formed helicopter advance unit mimicking the exploits of General George 'kill em all' Armpit CustardPie- the 5th Calvary. The battle of the la Drang Valley was made into a shitty movie- "We Were Soldiers Once… And Young". I don't know first hand because I wasn't attached, but according to my compadre in arms- it was a murder house. They didn't get out of there with dignity- they barely fuckin' got out- period. All for a strong point that didn't mean jack strategically. All to make Winchester-Western, Olin Brass and all the other rich jack-squirts who profit on death and destruction.
Yeah, I agree with you, brother/sister. We have got to do better than this crap.
My brother suffers intense PTSD to this day. Incessant 155 mm cannon fire will do that to you. He served as an attache to the brass but volunteered to go in on the third day to reclaim the dead. Their limbs would tear apart from attempting to pull them onto a gurney. That's how far they've rotten, after three days of jungle heat.
So yeah, I have a heart warming fuck you to all of those that would want us to succumb to a police state when stupid bastards like me enlisted because 'I thought' it was the right thing to do. You can be terribly wrong sometimes. Be a human and fess the fuck up.

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic*; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

I got lot's of problems with this, especially inciting a sky god for inspiration but it doesn't say a fuckin' thing about protecting a bunch of skeered whiners over an incident (911) that doesn't compare at all to other fatality statistics whatsofuckin'ever. It's a mosquito blemishing the chrome on a Cadillac, yet we let the media lead us into mass god damned hysteria and Islamo-Zombies were climbing over the wings of every jet (and hang glider) heading this way to kill each and everyone of us- twice!. (I didn't buy it for a damned minute and I don't buy it now)
So, in closing, I've read your verbage before and very much admire a critical thinker. Cheers
*and domestic- The NSA and their Gestapo like tactics/strategy.
