I agree w you.
Many of us have different pieces of the puzzle that allow us to see ... You're right about what the Iranians 'leaders' did - and got away with... you paid a high price for that puzzle piece...
I think all cultures get similar distributions of good and bad people. The difference is the bad one's here use to be in prison or pumping gas and the good one's would be running our cities and governments. In Iran it's the monsters running the place and the good people hiding out... But once you've seen abuse of power it stays with you. Our founding fathers wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to protect us from the kinds of people who want to take power for their own benefit only - to stop those who would enslave us... Evil's part of the human condition - so's fighting evil. We'll fight on... Thanks for the ping FARS - it's been a while...
Helluva lot more retired vets than active Generals...
Nuremberg Trials - coming soon...
Jeepers... Thanks for the ping!
Thanks FARS.
Obamao is already worried about the troops. He had the bolts removed from the Marines’ rifles at the inaugural address. He’s a craven coward and a pervert, a slap in our faces by the puppet masters who created him and mounted him over us to be our destructive tyrant.
As a military retiree, I seriously doubt that this is true. What is more likely is the continuing of a trend in promoting to the top political operators in uniform who tend to say what the president wants to hear. That is a far cry from flag officers that would order our troops to fire upon their neighbors.

It is not a FAR CRY...
The mullahs don’t speak Farsi? I would have expected them to not speak Arabic, all as part of that Sunni/Shia thing.
I live in the Fort Hood area of Texas and have many friends that are retired and active military. Some are noncoms and some are commissioned officers up to the rank of colonel. I have asked them if they will follow orders to fire on American Citizens. They all said, "no!"
I then asked what would happen. The answer was, somen will simply refuse, some would desert. More importantly, a colonel with many years of combat experience said the noncoms and enlisted would follow an officer they trust in fighting such illegal orders.
You can purge the Army at the top but you can not purge the Army of all its patriots. The Army were the "good guys" in the past and the present and will be the good guys in the future.
I invite posts on this subject from those recently in the services or those still in the service. That will tell us more than all our speculation. I trust the Army.
Typo somen = some
An Islamic cleric, of whatever sect, MUST understand arabic to read the Quran and Hadiths.
Before any such order is given, he will ensure that the officers will be the kind of people who will carry them out. If you start hearing of conservative officers being replaced with blacks, gays, and other dem voting groups, that’s a sign that shtf is imminent.
So, the Army, led by good guys like Patton, Eisenhower and MacArthur DIDN’T fire on or burn out the “Bonus Army” when it was sitting in DC?
