"The American solution is to let a free people defend themselves — and that certainly applies to the American army."

If this is that pot-smoking hazy America of Woodstock, then we don't want any. Hold hands and sing KumByYa with the Dums.

No US Military organization allows "free people" to defend themselves. They are trained to follow orders or people die (sounds like "A Few Good Men"). But, I've been an officer in the Army and it is not about the kind of self-determination that you describe. There are times when we are to come together and allow constitutional leadership to direct. There are times when they become too large, too powerful. The US Constituion is somewhere in the middle. And that is not facist.

To blame George W. Bush for gun control as the proximate cause of Islamic terror massacres is ludicrous.

Wow. It sounds like you’re an army officer who hates America almost as much as Major Hasan.
