You said — You really know how to waste time by just ignoring a poster’s words and getting back to your anti military agenda. You do seem determined to continue to attempt to portray our military as being criminal.

You haven’t heard me say that the military “as being criminal”. That’s something that *you* made up, not me. I’ve relayed to you precisely that I’ve got information directly from people in the military that the two biggest things going on with some there are (1) drug trafficking and (2) weapons sales.

Then you start saying that they are not like that (apparently you’re saying that *no one* in the military is not like that — saying that I don’t know what I’m talking about. So, if that wasn’t enough information for you to have, that I have direct contacts with people in the military that tell me that, I supply the information through public news sources that tell you about that.

And then you start backpedaling and saying something to the fact that not everyone is perfect but we’re more perfect than most — or something to that effect.

Well, I’ve never said that they were perfect or not — only that *this* is what is going on, what I’ve been told and exactly what the news also reports, as you can see.

You’re the one who is misleading people around here, to give them the idea that no such things happen in the military. They do indeed happen there. But, as I said, I’m not the one who is saying that the military is criminal — you’re the one who made up that assertion...

You are just a little bit insane aren't you. See post 114 or post 131.

"All this doesn't make for God like perfection but it sure does mean that the military has a vastly smaller number of bad guys than civilian life and you don’t have to be “pick carefully” to avoid them, for one thing you can bust their ass, nobody wants flakes in their unit."

That’s a crock. I say that as someone with 25 years in the USAF, a son with 6 years on the Army, and a daughter & son-in-law who both did tours in the USMC. I had 4 piss tests in my last 3 years, and I was Lt Col. When a Major, I held the record for the base I was at, with over 20 piss tests in 36 months. SOME drug use and trafficking does exist. It is less than the average high school, by a long shot.
