Pearl Harbor shooting unfolded in 23 seconds in packed area

We had a rowdy crew on my ship, occasionally they would bring someone up for Captain’s Mast for fighting and general mayhem,but we didn’t get too upset and want to hurt anyone.

Captain's Mast (aka "NJP") used to be a rite of passage for rowdy sailors. These days it's a career-ending ticket out of the Navy.

Uh, not rowdy but drinking underage (20) off base got me 30 days confined on the ship at captain’s mast. Of course when you’re out to sea for a couple weeks training during the 30 days makes it a little easier. I was an E-2 at the time so what did I know? Well I knew not to be drinking in the bar but NOOOOOOOO. LOL! Good times.

Rome built an empire on the practice of military service resultingin citizenship. It wasn’t until 225 a.d. the the emperor Caracalla screwed things up by granting universal citizenship to everyone living within the borders of the Roman empire. Thus ended the incentive for military service. The Western empire was finished.

Point being that with all it’s warts citizenship in exchange for military service is a foundational to the western heritage.

TS watch would only have a single side arm with a minimum number of shells in the loaded and mounted clip. So why did this guy have 2 service weapons for a watch in a well protected government facility. There has got to be a whole lot more to this story I would think.

A lot has changed since 9/11.

Now, they carry a 9mm sidearm and either an M4 or a 12 gauge shotgun.

Ok. What part of this is difficult for you? I just can’t understand. You are an adult with at least an average intelligence? Ok. So I will go real slow for you. This is a video. By video I do mean moving pictures... With sound! I know. Very very exciting.

This is a video of a Nazi sham trial. So. I wonder what this could possibly have to do with the impeachment trial?

Think, think, think... Well this is really exhausting. I just can’t possibly figure it out. Far to deep.

So I responded to the wrong thread. However I continue to be aghast at your thick headed stupidity. So here is a quote from you that I am responding to:

“We continue to offer young male dysfunctionals from foreign lands or from migrant families the immediate opportunity to trade military service for automatic U.S. citizenship. We are probably the only country on the planet doing this. People understand intuitively you don’t open your country’s military to foreign nationals and then expect any other result than what happened here. They can make all the excuses they want. This has happened before and it will continue so long as the policy is in force.”

I gave you a historical context for what we are doing with military service. Not terribly hard to understand. Yet somehow, someway, you can’t comprehend. Apparently thinking, is an unusually difficult thing for you to do. It is not complex. It is not obscure. Rome for centuries traded military service for citizenship. We sit upon a world built by Rome. It is our heritage of law, finance, engineering, agriculture and the administrative State.

So how is this difficult for you to make the connection? Surely you bounced on your head when you fell off the back of the turnip truck? A provincial rube perhaps? I don’t know. But it is always fun to run into people who lack the very most basic analytical skills. Cheers.
