Good intentions. I know a certain road paved with those.
What this Marine did is wrong, and a dangerous breach of security, but it’s not the same crime as deliberately providing information to our enemies, and I’m glad he’s not being punished as severely as he would be for that crime.
My first reaction was that this plan wasn’t all that well thought out — you’re going to steal documents, and then take them to ... the cops?
Agreed. But this could be an indicator of something that I’ve been predicting for a few years now.(Me and the stones in the street, at any rate)
People on the right are by no means quick to go into the sort of, for lack of a better term, activist mode, that self centered liberals actually LIVE in (since they are self centered and the Right, as a rule, serves an Author of right and wrong)but they can only be pushed so far and then will be pushed no more. This Marine is either off in his own world or is possessed of an immense set of balls. I’m not gonna’ be too surprised if the truth turns out to be the latter.
Leadership paves it’s own way (that’s why it’s called leadership). To steer America away from the disastrous heading she seems to be on will take a move, when it comes, that looks a lot like what this Marine did.
