When George Orwell wrote "1984", he described the endless shifting of foreign enemies. This was a tactic used by the government to focus public hatred abroad in an effort to make them ignore tyranny at home. The practice works. It works in part because Americans are willing to shift their hatred here and there, depending on the latest government list of proscribed enemies. Meanwhile, their liberties are being eroded in front of their very eyes all compliments of their own government.

I have nothing more to say to Brad Edmonds, other than "get out". You do not belong here. You do not deserve to remain in this country one more day. Get out. Leave. Vacate. You are not worthy of licking the boots of the lowliest buck private in the US Army. Get out!

The military has not protected us? Your right! The Central Intelligence Agency is RESPONSIBLE for FOREIGN threats, advises the boss, boss tells the JCS to get the military into action should the threat deem like force. So you were in the CIA? Don't you mean YOU failed by not protecting us? I really don't blame you for nobody can stop all threats that are out there to our nation. I just wish you could understand we (the military) cannot either.

You are correct, you don't owe the military a thing other than your tax dollars. If you hate that then I'm sure Al Queda is willing to take you. "Provide for the common defense..." You don't like it, I don't care, just pay your taxes and if you really have that much of a heartache about it then just renounce your citizenship and move off to one of the poor countries you think we as Americans muscle around. I'm sure they would love a former CIA guy to keep them up to date.

I appreciate your admiration for the American G.I., but I'll be sure to NOT tell the twenty year old kid I just evacuated that there are Americans who don't feel they should have to "pick up the bill" for the leg he lost on a raid. I'll be sure to NOT tell him some Americans who sleep safe tonight EXPECT him to die or be wounded for doing a job "they" never asked him to do. Mr. CIA man I think you are NOT the man you say you are or you are an ingrate! I think the CIA should seriously consider deporting you to a country that REALLY hates Americans so you can feel what it is like. If you are who you say you are I must say you strike me as the office water boy, NOT any form of a field agent. Before you go and say "I never said I was a field agent..." Remember this; Unless you have been in the field you are an Armchair Warrior and I think that is the case here.
Oh, did you receive any health care while you spent time in the CIA? I'm pretty sure you did for the CIA, FBI, NSA & DOD all have similar health care. You James Bond are the pot calling the kettle black. You have every right to speak your mind, but be more intelligent next time and NOT include your bio. You sound like a guy who is ashamed of all that is American.
I leave it at this for my sand bagged bunker/ home is calling my name. It has been a day of flying evac missions and our camp has already been mortared once tonight.

Sleep safe tonight CIA man for the United States Military has got your back, wish you had ours.
