[quote=Russell]One young man, typical fodder for the warmongers, helps me out around my property and on some of my contracting projects. He is talking about joining the army because his brother did and he needs more money. These guys are both green card holders. I spent the time I would have spent arguing with AFF educating him on dealing with the recruiter who wouldn’t give a damn about him and on other options he has. I also offered him a roof over his head if he decided it was necessary to keep him from making a huge mistake(based on what I had previously learned about his values and such). This is a very thoughtful and sensitive young man,just a little needy right now. I am sure his grammar and syntax are terrible.He is well worth saving himself. He will be my hero if he does so.

Rus: So, let me get this straight. It’s okay for you to “hate” my worldview and refer to me as a pig, but you’re all about doing good and helping others, right?

The US Army, on the other hand, is simply about advancing what you see as an imperialist mindset and oppressing the poor of the world, correct?

It’s interesting that you’d refer to me as being close minded and lacking the proper worldview, but you’re the first to castigate those who don’t agree with you and use invective and ad hominem attacks to make your point.

Isn’t that an example of your “might makes right” argument?
