    Yelling louder in the mic doesn't make your point any more valid... :laugh:

    Just like a baptist preacher, "y'all didn't hear me, I said etc..."

    He don't know the difference... He also don't or won't understand that these troops are not dying every day...

    He has his mind set, he is right, end of his discussion I suppose... :rolleyes:

    And just what are "peace-keeping" troops there for? To keep the peace you say? OK! What do these troops do if somebody starts something, you know like a war or something? Try to keep the peace? How?

    (Just trying to get a handle on this apparently contradictory concept of "COMBAT VS PEACE-KEEPING")

    Incidentally, troops may have one OR the other as a primary mission, but any troops are supposedly "COMBAT" troops; depending on the circumstances at any given period of time.

    I strongly suspect that there will be no such animal as our concept of military in the millennium simply because He won't need such to insure civilized behavior.

    Same thing a cop does, use the necessary force to bring the situation under control. Perhaps that's why we say cops keep the peace... [​IMG]

    Well, that's because only the republicans know what is best for this country. If you don't believe me ask OldRegular!

    Of course you have to overlook the damage the Bush administration has done.

    This idea would have really worked well in the California bank shoot-out several years ago - can't you just see the scenario - cops heavily armed with their billy-clubs :)laugh:) vs. the automatic armed felons!!!


    C'mon LB, surely you just answered in haste - didn't you?:confused::rolleyes:

    Oh, by the way, what is your definition of "necessary force"?

    After being in the military for many years I can safely say if the visible force is armed only with billy-clubs there is the weight and expanse of the US Military standing behind them daring you to touch a hair on their heads.

    Reasonable and necessary force in my view is defined as the degree of force that is appropriate in a given situation and is not excessive. It is the minimum degree of force necessary to protect oneself, property and the public in the face of a substantial threat. It is what keeps the cops from shooting an unarmed man.
