I am sick and tired of paying the mortgages of dumb**** spineless
Government
clerks without the gumption to say NO when they are told to violate the
constitution
Mr. Epps served in Navy for a period of time Dave. While not speaking for
him, I think he comes at it from his military position and experience.
They
have things like firing squads or some such.
from bloodsucking
outfits like MITRE talking nonsense. All such assholes should note that
their time is short and that WallMart is hiring.
You've never met Mr. Epps nor Mr. Reid, I can speak for Mr. Reid who
speaks
nice of Mr. Epps and asshole is not the appropriate term.
Sheesh.
Mr Epps may well be a fine companion and well like by other fine fellows.
However, Mr Epps apparently is a bit twisted on his understanding and
ordering of a military oath vis a vis the Constitution and Laws of the
United States of America.
1. In general, advancing a military oath over allegiance to a national
constitution is an earmark of a particular variety of totalitarian state.
Specifically in modern times it was a tactic used by Hitler to corrupt the
German officer corps, and later used in Fascist Italy, as well as by a
number or lesser fascist wantabees. I detest its appearance on the American
scene.
2. Mr Epps ignores United States law including the War Crimes Act of 1996
which applies to both civilian and military nationals of United States for
which the penalty can be death. He also ignores that the U.S. is a signature
of the Nuremberg agreements, which makes it a crime not to expose war
crimes, and we are also a signature of both the Geneva and Hague
conventions.
Mr Epps service in the Navy is appreciated, but he may have missed a
workshop or two on these issues. As far as your comment about "military
firing squads," would you care to provide a reference for when one of these
squads was used?
