Free Speech?

Outside of the military aspect of the situation. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor at even the suggestion that anyone not just Bush would allow something like that to happen. Although it is still debated till this day even the attack on Pearl Harbor was directed at Military targets and not civilians. So to think a president would allow over 3000 civilians to die in something like that totally blows my mind.

Old military saying..

Ours is not to question why, ours is but to do or die.

The dedication of any combat unit requires absolute allegiance to the mission. There can be no concern towards the individual, the morality of war or the politics of the leadership.

BTW Redwave, the criticism of the "gay military" issue was directed at the policy change, not the leader who proposed it.

Re: Double standard

Christ on a crutch, does anybody here have any memory? Remember when a whole bunch of the military top brass were publicly criticizing Clinton over the tolerant policy toward gays in the military he wanted to establish? Were any of them punished? Hell, no. Clinton ended up having to back off and institute his weasly "don't ask, don't tell" policy. As a result, oppression of gays in the military continues to this day. It was damn near a military coup which took place then. And now Butler faces punishment for speaking the obvious truth about that usurper and traitorous tyrant Bush. There's a clear double standard involved here.

Actually, I think this is a good question. When does the speech cross this line? No question Clinton was called a fucktard at least once by military personnel. Maybe the difference was that the military brass agreed???

I again can't say that Butler was "speaking the truth" about Bush's motives.
