This was the tactic used in Germany to dehumanize Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Serbs, and other "Untermenschen" in order to condition SS units and the whole country properly in order that they be able to liquidate these unfortunate populations.

It's sad that so many folk these days intertwine unmalleable innate traits with malleable character traits.

There's certainly a deceptive purpose behind doing just that, but now a given person will play that list exactly as they've heard it, broken record style, and possibly, even likely, be completely ignorant of doing it.

Sign of the times, I reckon.

Anon 3:52,
If I were a betting man, I'd say they'd follow President Simian's martial law orders. I have no doubts about that at all.

What is really scary is that most of our police recruits come from the military. They have been taught that people should obey them or else. When they say jump you are suppose to say how high. What will they do when our great leader declares martial law? Will they support the constitution or follow what ever the president says?

I especially like how the soldier descirbed his training and how Iraquis were dehumanized. This was the tactic used in Germany to dehumanize Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Serbs, and other "Untermenschen" in order to condition SS units and the whole country properly in order that they be able to liquidate these unfortunate populations. This is scary.

As a former military officer and West Point graduate, I posted the following on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_yHY9hFl94 I have attempted to get it circulated among my classmates, several of whom are general officers, but with little success. It is unfortunate that the military are indoctrinated with the President/commander-in- chief rather than the Constitution/law of the land.

Great article, Will, as usual.

Anonymous said "I dearly wish the Church would take up the banner of peace and liberty and proclaim the message loud and clear throughout the land." You have GOT to be kidding me! The Church stopped being Anti war and pro life the minute it was co-opted by Constantine. Please! Go to a church service some day on July fourth weekend, or Memorial Day weekend. Sit through their putrid jingoistic bull**** service about honoring American soldiers. Then come back and read your "wish" again! The Church has long been the ENABLER of wars, not the promoter of peace, and, frankly, I think the Prince of Peace who established this Church would be (is) completely disgusted by it. "Such a message is missing." Bull! this message has been missing since before the Roman Catholics thought they were doing "God's Will" by murdering Lutheran civilians and vice versa! Personally, I hope this story gets out, and I applaud any soldier who deserts. Further, while I want the carnage to stop, a part of me hopes it continues until the USA government is bankrupted completely and UNABLE to continue these imperialistic bloodbaths. Maybe we should, instead of wishing the "Christians" would act, start pressuring the Japanese to dump their T-bills and bankrupt these ass wipes in the White House.

2008-04-01T17:58:00.000-06:00

Since appropriations for pay cannot be guaranteed for longer terms, legally (Constitutionally), the United States of America cannot contract with any military (non-Navy) personnel for more than two years.

So to legally sign four to six year enlistment contracts, our military is established under the "laws of the United States" and known as the United States Army/Marines/Air Force...

They then legally, as most "citizens of the United States" do, toil daily for the legal corporation on the plantation under statute law, not governed by common law and the Constitution which created it (the United States).

When somebody asks if you love your country, are they really talking about your overseer, United, and his lash, States??

Mr. Maxwell, you're entirely correct to reject the "victor's justice" of the Nuremberg mock-tribunal. By referring to the "Nuremberg Principles," of course, I was alluding to the well-understood concept that a soldier has a moral duty to oppose illegal and/or immoral orders. The admittedly problematic reference to Nuremberg was intended as shorthand.

2008-04-01T14:15:00.000-06:00

This wont be popular, but I wouldnt quote from the 'Nuremberg Principles' as if there were some kind of noble thing. Robert Taft had it right - it was victor's justice - with the the allied powers being the victims, judges, and jury all at the same time.

2008-04-01T06:41:00.000-06:00

As scripture states" we war not against flesh and blood but against principalities of darkness". The more evil and base I see our leaders become the more I am convinced that (some - not all) are literally demonic. But their evil pales in comparison to the justice and wrath of God. God will ultimately destroy their best laid plans. As Martin Luther once penned" even the devil is God's devil". Armed with the principles taught in Scriptures ( and known to much of humanity both regenerated and unregenerated due to Gods common grace) the ideas and plans of these wicked demons can be rolled back - one argument or idea at a time.

Quote: As their APC passed beneath a grove of palm trees, Joshua described how easy it would be to ambush the unit. "To my surprise," Joshua recalls, "the sergeant did not lecture me for speaking my mind. Softly, he told me, `I'd do the same thing if people invaded America.'"

In 2004, I was debating with a Fox News-influenced ex-cop who confidently asserted that the Iraqis would love us for bringing them democracy. None of my counterarguments made any impression on him except the one quoted above -- that if foreign tanks were rumbling down the road in front of our house, sniping and ambushing would become my full-time avocation. He didn't agree that the analogy applied to Iraq, but at least he understood my logic.

Today, he discreetly avoids talking about Iraq. But I still recall the near talismanic significance that the noble abstraction of "bestowing the gift of democracy" had for him. With its eucharistic overtones, "democracy" seems to have become a secular religion.

It makes sense that Bush and Cheney would harp on democracy, even as it becomes dysfuntional at home. Voters who elected a Democratic majority in both House and Senate in 2006 evidently wanted the Iraq War wound down. Instead, they got a "surge." What's a demagogue to do, but pound the table ever harder for our glorious democracy? Doubtless Comrade Mugabe is doing the same in Zimbabwe today, as the patently massaged "election results" are released.

As for "stop loss," the governing legal principle is that a fraudulent contract is invalid ab initio and can be voided. Unfortunately, the courts have repeatedly allowed government to abrogate its contracts, fraudulent or not. Ask the Native Americans how that works.

Why can't The Dick Cheney have another heart attack? He had one once before. His heart could explode inside his chest, shredding his aorta and causing massive internal damage with blood pouring from every orifice. The blood would be so thick it'd appear to be black in color.....oh, wait! That is its natural color! Wow. Well, I'll be....
The blood could pour out from his anus and thus remove David Rockefeller's fresh semen. Call it a more natural enema.

2008-03-31T22:03:00.000-06:00

Truly a sobering message and one that needs to be constantly repeated. This war continues to grind on with no end in sight and virtually ignored by everyday americans. Yet their are human lives at stake in this sad drama. I dearly wish the Church would take up the banner of peace and liberty and proclaim the message loud and clear throughout the land. But alas in these times such a message is missing. It deeply grieves me to see such a sad state of affairs.
