I am in the active duty Air Force and nobody that I have asked so far in the military, have found his comments offensive. I just don't see the outrage. I really want to understand what it is all about. I don't think his comments are aiding and giving comfort to the enemy. Can someone please explain this so I can figure this one out? How are his comments sabotaging the country?
You and the US military are engaged in a massive genocidal extermination against humanity.
Are you getting the drift yet???
These words and actions are being used by aljizeera to incite violence against US military, and civilians.
Aid and comfort indeed.
I noticed you just recently signed on to FR.
I'm Active Duty with the Army, and I and my brothers and sisters find his statements repugnant.
You don't get outraged at being called a concentration camp guard? Being compared to communists?
Which country's Air Force are you in?!?
Why do I think the only thing you've ever flown is a kite?
And why don't you go fly one now?
Bull buke.
Everyone I know in uniform fopund Durbin's comment offensive.
Unless you find being equated with Nazis a positive thing?
Odd how out of everyone who replied to you, I am the ONLY one you said anything to.
You know what? I don't believe you. I think you're a troll. I don't think you're in the military. I think you are a liberal. Which might explain your diminished mental capacities since you need to have Durbins words and why they are harmful to the military and country explained to you.
MOST folks in the military and their families are LIVID over all of this. All real Americans are outraged.
You don't fit in either category, IMO.
I can't believe you're serious about not understanding what this is all about.
How old are you?
Maybe the Air Force just doesn't have any real contact with the people...hmmmm?
I don't think his comments are aiding and giving comfort to the enemy. Can someone please explain this so I can figure this one out? How are his comments sabotaging the country?
DUH!!!
"Listen up all you grade school wannabe jihadists!
Even high government officials in the evil USA are admitting that their military is no better than the sadistic Nazis, Communists and Cambodian Pol Pot rebels that tortured and murdered MILLIONS!
Pray to Allah to give you courage and strength to fight these heathen infidels that even citizens of their own country are outraged at.
Pick up your suicide belts on the way out the door."
Gee, did you have to take an aptitude test to get into the airforce?
There's an article right now on FR...poll numbers who that less than 20% think Durbin's comments were correct and most people by a vast majority think the terrorists are treated just fine.
My stepson is in the military and was in Iraq in the first months of the war in 2003; his entire base is LIVID with Durbin. And, since they are in CT and a lot of them more liberal than we'd think, given they are in the military, if even they are livid, I'm quite shocked that you aren't upset at being compared to a Nazi.
Pull your head out of your butt. I have 2 nephews (Marines) and a cousin (Army) who are active duty. All three are outraged at Durbin's remarks and his lack of an apology.
I am an Air Force veteran myself SAC 72-76 and as such I remember the average enlisted man in the Air Force fell a little short of the dedication level I had expected. That was the primary reason I did four and out. If the people you talked to don't care about this, it's because they don't care in general.
Apathy is a comfort to you I'm sure. Remember 9/11/2001?
