Again, I ask you: What oath did he take upon joining the military?
Your post rebukes that very thing, and negates what he (and every other member of our military) put himself in danger for.
Think about *that*, instead of names to call me for pointing out facts, instead of condoning anti-American (and anti-military) political correctness as you are espousing. :-(
What an upside-down world we live in, even on FR.
I never said that Idiot Jones didn't have the right to be a boneheaded jerk and do a reckless, stupid thing. As an American, he does have that right.
I only said that he had the responsibility to think about what he was doing. And what he was doing, no matter what right he had to do it, was endangering our troops.
Yes. The Islamofascists are responsible for what they did. It's their fault.
But Bonehead Ego-centric Low IQ Jones is responsible for the deaths of innocents too......because he knew full well that burning the Koran would put our troops in further danger, and he did it anyway.
He's an irresponsible fool (who, btw, is supportive of the Westboro nutcases), and Petraeus was right to say what he did.
Book burning is irresponsible, pointless and stupid. My son agrees, and your saying that his free thought and speech violates his oath in the military is ridiculous. If you think our troops are uneducated and monolithic in supporting book burning, you should do a little more research on how bright our troops really are.
(And I didn't call you any names, pillut. Read what I said again and try to understand what the words actually say).
