    BTW Kyle was in the Merc business... http://www.thecraft.com/training_MIL.html
    And many of his students are law enforcement (shudders) as well as ex-military.

    Totally agree. I'm extremely anti-war and the guy used poor judgement taking someone with mental issues to a shooting range. But he absolutely nothing wrong in war and I'm thankful for people like Chris Kyle.

    OK, and can you show me where I said any of that in my post? Maybe take moment and actually try to read what I said. Likewise, it seems you are unable to appreciate the fact that alot of people are raised getting their heads filled with this stuff, yes, they can be taught a new way, but do you honestly think anyone is going to listen to you with your "bash them over the head with my truth" tactics?

    I for one will be the first to say that if the liberty message needs to become more 'voter friendly' and 'main streamed', you can take 2016 and shove it clean up Ronald Regans wazoo. That's because those friendly to watering down Ron Paul will find yourself where the liberty movement found themselves then: sold out and dissolved awaiting evacuation into a swirling vortex of waste water.

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    He did nothing wrong? I couldn't disagree more. Would you defend nazi stormtroopers the same way you defend Chris Kyle? Why are you thankful for someone fighting in a war that you don't agree with? You're contradicting yourself.

    doesn't sound like Ron runs his twitter account either.

    Just doesn't sound like something he'd say.

    Well, you much man aren't you? How about you watch this video of Tom Davis when they asked him why he endorsed Ron Paul and how he felt about Ron's Foreign Policy views, was this "watered down"?

    Americans were in the war. If you are in a war, you fight to win. He saved American lives. I'm unfortunately not stunned by the comparison of Americans to Nazi stormtroopers.

    Don't your own words make it an apt comparison?

    German soldiers were in a war, fought to win, and saved German lives. Like Kyle, they were just following orders.

    That is why the WTF? it has absolutely nothing to do with my post. and nothing to do with the thread.

    Americans were invading a country for plunder. If you are invading and plundering, you fight to crush any resistance. He saved Invaders lives.

    As a medically retired US Army Infantryman my opinion is that nowhere near everyone who dons the uniform is a hero. In fact, I'd say most that do are not heroes. This is rhetoric that forces people into accepting an agenda or risk looking unpatriotic.

    Exactly. It's a mechanism to shut down any opposition. Those who actually defend it....I can't grasp the cognitive dissonance they must have.

    You really just look for reasons to hate Rand.

    Frankly I think that Rons statement was pretty harsh, but more a commentary on the wars than the warriors who may just be misguided by "defending" their country to the benefit of only a few in reality.

    Rand however still has political ambitions, so yes, just like any considerate human being trying to be supportive, he saved his real views for another time.

    Its not like its uncommon for people to say nice things they may not fully mean when someone dies.

    Ron has earned the ability to be frank and speak about the larger theme at play, Rand hasn't earned the right to be so blunt about a soldiers death (and hasn't had to see it for nearly as long as Ron to be so sick of it)

    If a group of robbers breaks into your house and you point a rifle at them trying to defend yourself, which causes one of the intruders to shoot you, would you say the killing was justified, because he saved his fellow robbers' lifes?

    If the war is unjustified, then resistence to it might be more moral than trying to win it. As others have pointed out, by your logic you couldn't condemn any individual action of any soldier on the battlefield in the history of mankind.

    Plunder? We didn't take their oil. We didn't take their land. Making a bad strategic decision against a country with a leader who gases his own people and tried to assassinate a US President is far different from making lampshades out of humans and conquering an entire continent. And then subjugating them to National Socialism.

    "We" didn't plunder anything. Nothing the regime in DC does is ever for "our" benefit. But it's always for somebody's benefit.

    Politicians sent those troops to war to serve somebody's interest, and everything those troops did was in the service of whoever's interest that was.

    Ugh, what an awful statement. Tell that to all the dead civilians that have been killed and injured by these "heroes."
