See the new Captain America movie, in which a loosely disguised Homeland Security develops “unstoppable” technology to kill a few million Americans who aren’t down with the program.

That is true but the police departments will have to pay for maintenance and fuel. I suspect that it will not take very long for many police departments to realize that the cost to keep these vehicles running will be eating up their budgets.

Sarge, he stated we were mercenaries, dog killers, skinheads, and he stated an open hatred for us.
Sign up date doesn’t matter, that crap doesn’t fly here.
He can’t defend it either.

Are you going to defend your broad brush smears of servicemembers (now removed) or will you apologize?
Because I personally have yet to meet a fellow servicemembers either in person or on this forum who is as you claimed a “skinhead, mercenary,”or “ a dog killer,” and while we can handle your openly stated hatred for us I’m pretty certain this is not the forum for your sentiments.
Jim, you might want to look this guy over, referenced posts were 16, 34, and 37.

Post it is forum instead of freepmailing.
Openly defend your words.
