I'll take another infraction, if only because I have family in the Ft Lauderdale area that live not five minutes away from the airport.
You are without a doubt, one of the most disgusting, vile pieces of human filth on the forum today. This "Gun free zone" you are talking about, was the baggage claim area. A baggage claim area that plays Calypso music when luggage is being put out on the conveyor belts. If you're suggesting airlines should allow civilians to openly carry on flights you're fucking deranged. Piss off with your faux concern for shootings, all you care about is playing political football with the lives of innocent people who were shot by a deranged lunatic.
That's painful to read.
Confirming once again that war, to those who are sent to fight them, is absolute hell, newly released Pentagon statistics show that suicide--not combat--is the leading killer of US troops deployed to the Middle East.
“According to a report in USA Today this week, of the 31 troops who have died as of Dec. 27 in Operation Inherent Resolve, 11 have taken their own lives. Eight died in combat, seven in accidents and four succumbed to illness or injury.
“These new numbers confirm a trend that’s been in place since the beginning of the prolonged occupation of the Middle East.
“Earlier this year, the DoD released a similar report from 2014 that revealed some startling numbers. In all of 2014, a total of 55 US troops, in both hostile and non-hostile situations, lost their lives in foreign occupations. The number of soldiers who killed themselves was nearly 5 times that amount.
“According to the DoD report, in 2014, there were 269 deaths by suicide among active component service members (compared to 259 deaths by suicide in 2013).”
“In war, human lives become units to be traded as a commodity to aid in the expansion of the State. When they are no longer deemed useful, these human lives are then tossed out like yesterday’s garbage.
“Treating human beings in such a brutal and inhumane manner is not without consequence.
“Not only are active duty soldiers tragically ending their own lives at an increasing rate, but once they finish their service, these numbers skyrocket.
He's not wrong.
He's not wrong.
There is a lot of FRUIT LOOPS in that opinion piece but this is right:
Some soldiers have done more than 5 years total of shooting war(in combat theater), sometimes really nasty stuff, in a the military of a failing superpower that was fine with WaterBoarding and other abuses and tended to be incompetent at the main work. My wife was part of an Armour Cavalry Regiment where at the post deployment ball we spouses had to sit through a half hour a video of these guys blasting the hell out of everything as the guys sat around post dinner and whooped it up. This was some really nasty ****, it was pure sadism both in that room that night and from all appearances on that film from Iraq . Rumor had it (it was more than Rumor actually) that war crimes had been committed and brushed under the rug by top level commanders. If anyone is shocked that Bradley Manning was sent to Iraq to handle classified information they should not be, bodies where in short supply, and lots of folks did not want to go to Iraq, the policy in the end was "send them all no matter what they say unless you absolutely cant". In some units the women were routinely under so much pressure to have sex with the guys that their encounters can not by any stretch of the imagination be call consensual.
This is what our nation did.
Is it any wonder that so many lives were wrecked in the process?
It is criminal what we did to Americans who served us in our really stupid in concept and really poorly run war.
I think I know what this shooting was all about, it was a well deserved "**** YOU AMERICA!" by a guy failing to understand how America could do and do to him what we have done.
*Note: the taking of lives in protest/pain was not "well deserved", the anger towards America however was*
Thank you for speaking the truth.
I've read that by about 2005, the number of troops killed by suicide exceeded the number of troops killed by hostile fire.
And what of any of this truth do we ever hear out of the assholes in Washington who did this?
And THEN they are shocked that Trump is here!!
THey are some stupid mother****ers.
AND moral reprobates.
But look at how even today these ********ers are found to be constantly handing out lectures on behavior and "right thinking".
As they stand there scratching their heads trying to figure out why the Little People are so angry all the time.
Asking why we dont believe them anymore, why we dont just follow our directions so nicely as we used to.
The strange thing is not that we got us a TRUMP.
It's that we didn't get one sooner.
Ok, so I completely empathize with the tragedy you're describing in your post, it's absolutely terrible, and frankly unacceptable.
I'm confused as to how you think Trump will help though. Republicans are the ones who put us into that mess. Dems pulled us out.
Bernie Sanders heaps praise on Donald Trump | New York Post“Trump took on the Republican establishment, he took on the Democratic establishment, took on the media establishment and he ended up winning the election to become president of the United States. And that is an extraordinary accomplishment. And it talks about perseverance, it talks about very strong political instincts, it talks about a way to connect with people,”
Trump is not a Republican.
He is a Trump.
Crazzy Bernie:

Ok but why does this mean he'll help the troops?
You are thinking too shallow to understand.
This is about the leaders losing their followers after horrible performance.
THis is about a demand that they either be reformed or replaced, with Trump being the sheriff sent to town to lead the effort.
We sent Obama to do the job 8 years ago, but the PRICK stiffed us.
So it's not about Trump, it's about 'not what we had before'.
Got it.
the most dangerous place in the world to be is in a gun-free zone.

It is about Washington being broken for a long time.
It is about the fact that Washington needs to work if America is to work.
It's actually probably Syria or some place in the ME that we're bombing.

Still a gun free zone since so many citizens are unarmed and victims. The rebels have been begging the US for help, and obama wussed out because he is a wuss!
Worldwide, unarmed = helpless victims! Got it? Only 8 days left for the POS to be in office!

The south side is still safer than Aleppo, so would certainly help to not lie in your opening argument.
