Is 'Mad Dog' General James Mattis Retiring? Here's 19 Unforgettable Quotes
Business Insider ^ | 22JAN13 | Geoffrey Ingersoll and Paul Szoldra

Both the left and the right are wrong about Marine Corps Lt. Gen. James N. Mattis. He is neither the Jack Nicholson caricature of a Marine depicted in the 1992 movie A Few Good Men nor the callous and mad eccentric depicted by George C. Scott in the 1970 movie Patton.

And Gen. Mattis didn’t just talk the talk; he walked the walk. He led from the front. Indeed, on at least one occasion that I know of, the General was bloodied from a firefight or improvised explosive device while out on patrol with junior, enlisted Marines one-third his age. That’s what makes Gen. Mattis such a great warrior: He truly respects and cares for his Marines.

“Guardiano,” he told me, “I don’t give a damn about the officers. If they don’t like what they’re doing, they can get on a plane and leave the Corps — go back where they came from. But I do care deeply about those 18- and 19-year-old Lance Corporals out on the frontlines.”

If you're not familiar with it, read the Posse Comitatus Act, Limits on federal use of the military for law enforcement.
Obama want the U.S. to de-arm and kill Americans who disagree with his dictatorship.
There are too many patriots who are experienced and retired military for there not to be a REAL Civil War when he tries to do this.
GET OUT NOW!!!

"No one will fully comprehend
the historical implications and strategy of fascist corporativism
except the true FASCIST manipulator
or the researcher
who is able to slash through the smoke screens
and disguises the fascists set up."


George Jackson, June 21, 1971

Why do you think Obama wants a UNIVERSAL CITIZEN SERVICE?
It's a way around


UNIVERSAL CITIZEN SERVICE wouldn't fall under those laws, hence they could round up and kill United States Citizens.
"Operation Garden Plot.

From what I have gathered from your post... If I am a christian I should “get out” of the armed forces because it is the christian thing to do. And if I do not “get out” I will be judged a non-christian and therefor the enemy... I do not recall Christianity being mandatory in the the US constitution.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be
condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37

Your argument is circulus in demonstrando, or circular logic.

This is the last reply I have for you on this thread. I will not discuss your opinions any further. Thank you for taking time to read my original post.

I see you totally avoided the Posse Comitatus Act, and the UN-Constitutionality of using the US military against its own civilian citizens.
May God have mercy on your soul.
