Why do people insist on bringing Mt. Carmel up every time this subject is mentioned?
Personally, I think lessons have been learned since that day, given what we have experienced since then. Remember, the Branch Davidian Seige began in February 1993, only 2 months into Clintoon’s administration. That was 16 years ago.
We saw 8 years of his socialist BS, and then 8 years of some degree of “common sense” and are now seeing the beginnings of a socialist era. We’ve all opened our eyes since that awful day.
Sixteen years has been long enough time for our current generation of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines to have a better grasp of what is lawful and what is not. You cannot equate the morality of this generation with that of 16 years ago.
Then you said,
"Why do people insist on bringing Mt. Carmel up every time this subject is mentioned?"
The pictures demonstrate that 100% confidence is a tad too high.
Most of these nice young folks are too young to remember what happened. Either it was not mentioned in their public school indoctrination or it was mischaracterized. There is little chance that most of these kids have ever read the Constitution or understand its importance. That’s exactly why it’s important for some people to bring up painful truths about our government.
