Before we get into this, let’s discuss what most would label “a hypothetical.” Tonight, I’m going to break into your home, point a gun at you, and rob you – all the while claiming that I’m not your enemy. Your enemy, I’ll say, is elsewhere, and I don’t mean across the street but in a different country. What will you do? By a show of hands, will you fight back and protect those in your home by evicting me or even by killing me? By a show of hands, who will thank me and travel to said country in search of the enemy, leaving those in your home vulnerable to me? Anyone? Nobody? It sounds absurd, but for reasons that I’ll soon explain, you’ll understand that it’s more real than hypothetical.
Hello, I’m Casey Carlisle. I’m a West Point graduate, and I spent five years in the Army, including 11 months in Afghanistan. Some of you are thinking about serving your country, and most of you are asking yourselves, “Why am I listening to this guy?” I’m glad that both of these groups are here, and I promise that my remarks will cause both groups to think differently about military service.
I was a high-school senior on September 11th, 2001, sitting in class and stunned after hearing the principal announce that our country had just been attacked. Why would someone want to do this to the greatest country on Earth? I was also livid, and I wanted revenge. I wanted to kill the people responsible for this atrocity, and my dilemma then was between enlisting in the military to exact revenge now or first spending years at a military academy before helping to rid the world of terrorists. I chose the latter, so I didn’t deploy to Afghanistan until 2009. My time there radically changed my views, which was uncomfortable, but, as with failure, discomfort breeds learning.
I learned that not only were we not keeping our fellow Americans safe or protecting their liberty, we were further impoverishing one of the poorest countries in the world. I watched in disgust my alleged allies – the Afghan police – rob their neighbors while on patrol and in broad daylight via traffic stops. Imagine getting pulled over, not for speeding, but because the cop hopes to rob you. My enemy – the Taliban – didn’t do such things, which is why I ended up having more respect for them than for my mission or for those who were allegedly helping us accomplish it. “Oh, but they’re horrible in other ways,” you might argue, and I’d agree; however, it’s much harder to kill an idea than it is to kill a person. Killing someone who holds an idea that you find distasteful only helps that person’s loved ones accept that idea. It turns out that killing someone for their ideas is a great way to spread those ideas.
Instead of dismissing me as an anti-American lunatic, consider the following. In the year 2000, the Taliban controlled most of Afghanistan, and today, they control all of it. This is just one of the reasons why I feel contempt for those who thank me for my alleged service. Our ‘service’ was worse than worthless, and the people thanking me were forced to pay for it. All of those who died there did so for nothing. And the innocent Afghans who were displaced, injured, or killed during our attempt to bring democracy to a country that didn’t want it were far better off in 2000 than they are now.
To be clear, the desire to serve one’s country is noble, but we must first define “country.” Serving one’s country is entirely different from serving one’s government. They are not the same. Serving one’s country is serving one’s family, friends, neighbors, and the land that they’ve made home. Serving one’s country is serving one’s community. Serving one’s government, however, is ultimately what everyone does when they enlist or when they take my path as an officer. Who are these people in government that you’ll end up serving? Are they your family, friends, or neighbors? For the most part, they are not, yet, they are ultimately who will decide your fate while in uniform. Whether they’re politicians or bureaucrats, they decide what serving one’

SIGNYM you are not THG you don't spam links, you don't troll like SixString,
you think and you write and reflect, deliberate, consider,
so think... and maybe research a tiny bit
Read their shit book or at least some of it, you keep looking at a lot of this stuff from a Western-ish late 20th Century or Western early 21st century perspective.
If you don't like to read there will be an audio book out there by an Ex-muslim Apostate or Atheist, they will explain and expose the Quran, the Sunnah and the Hadith or Sahih al-Bukhari where there are lies to try explain the Virtues of acting like a jihadist Koranimal.
March 2020? to November 2021 the Fall of Kabul, March 2020 chaotic, crazy Biden and Trump politics, the Covid fear, we have so many tv broadcasts and magazines and phone alerts to distract us. The Presidential primaries, 2020 stock market crash, Breonna Taylor's boyfriend Kenneth Walker and the officers shot at each other, PCP made a Rapper or Black idiot freak out the Killing of Daniel Prude, the Chaz or the Chop, the criminal George Floyd the police Knee on the Head played again and again like an Occult Tv Scarficie Ritual to enrage the Public and cities start burning to the ground...a busy year with 'Lockdowns'. Kyle Rittenhouse attacked and shot two fatally, during the civil unrest in Kenosha
To give credit to SixString and his trolling, he hates jabs he never gave in and took the shot as I understand, never went around with those vaccine passport papers
He was also posting that Hollywood was over
Observations in the time of Coro-nutsy
and Biden the Hunter Laptop conspiracy
'Coronavirus Panic Must Stop, Press Needs to Be Held Accountable for Hurting People'
...he also posted some incorrect nutty stuff
The islam thing is different it is old, like a bad ghost needing exorcism it is a an entity, because the USA and other Western nations have failed to understand it that has allowed it to move beyond time, it is like mosquito spreading disease, a layer of tar, crocodile...it has been around a long time regardless of human advances, you sometimes try to rationalize this stuff with logic but maybe think of things like 'Hex' and traditional mixed with transnational or fanatic religion with the unexplained language terms and Superstition. Maybe to get it you need to step outside yourself beyond the explained into the somewhat unexplained, think of it as an Entity which was already at War with the United States before she was born before Liberty in the USA even breathing, this islamist creature declared war on the USA, 1796 the USA was already aware of attacks, kidnapping, raids on ships, the North African islamist Raiders, the jihadi Pirates of Libya, the Ottoman Turks, the mohammedans wanted more money and President Thomas Jefferson refused to pay this tribute and so in 1800 war.
That sounds bad but as terrible as that can be sometimes they are used to it as a norm, every decade or so a new bunch of islamo bandits a new bunch of new interpretation of Sharia Law political party or a new islamic flavor might do exactly that and more...they invent a 'New Islam' the gangs get their guns and they do exactly that kick in doors, run into peoples homes and say are you with 'New Islam' whatever that flavor might be Sunni, Shiite, Mujahideen, Al-Qaeda, ISIS etc its the same old shit ever since that pedophile terrorist Moohammad was born...and the literally rob them, they will enslave and marry 6 year old girls and to things to little boys.
The founder of islam btw was a deviant pervert who dressed in women's clothes, raped animals and had sex with his dead aunt and he was not sure if he was visited by angels or demons as they spoke to him or think maybe a devil or djinn had possessed him.
Countries have managed to keep the brutal islamic horde away by a brutal secular almost Dictatorship rule...maybe Turkey not so much anymore.
