Oh geez, a pacifist?

You people are tiring.

I'm no pacifist by any stretch. But I do think the killing of another should be a well thought out process before you strap on your CW. Most people consider the dead human just meat. If thinking the dead are actual people makes me a pacifist then yeah, I guess I'm a pacifist.

Of all the military conflicts the United States has engaged in since WW2, name one (or more) that you approve of.

Granada, Iraq I (Defending Kuwait) and the initial Afghanistan insertion to hunt for OBL.

The rest were an exercise in futility. Matter of a fact I'd say we lost those wars i.e. police actions.

Better yet, you tell me what we gained in all those wars besides filling the pockets of government contractors selling us weapons...I mean since the government doesn't manufacture weapons or vehicles themselves.

Ok, you are not a pacifist. I take it back.

Grenada? Really? #######?

USMC baby...

Oorah!

Georgie is falling asleep during his own closing arguments. lol

That tells us how effective O'Mara is at keeping the jury alert.

We will see.

He's opened some holes I suspect the State will drive their truck through in their rebuttal.

none!

[mota bhai 2,675]

none!

Do you approve of any military conflicts ever fought by any nation, organization or empire?

[RGinWA 816]

O'Mara just interjected "What if TM was shot in the hip and survived, what would TM be charged with? Battery?"

Since that would be a more acceptable use of force I'll take that.

I think he just screwed his client with that suggestion. The state will bring that up I'm sure.

Not even to push Saddam out of Kuwait?

approve? as a white american female, my existence is pretty damn comfortable. always has been. i think it would be super naive to say no, especially since i'm no historical genius. i was just attempting to be an insufferable pacifist.

I supported most of them at the time except for ruby ridge and Waco. In hindsight Vietnam was a huge waste.

[himher 634]

When did that happen?

It happened during the closing arguments

[Penny Lane 8,159]

There was cursing and throwing skittles? Really?

[GandD 5,966]

Someone threw skittles? What a waste. I wish I had some skittles right now.
