are you going to hire them?, just so you know, theres over 7 billion. if you hire them all, pay them enough to live on, and they won't bees on welfare any more. You have to keep the police from taking their homes, cars, and all they worked hard for, or to build. think you can swing that, give them a job and don't allow police to rape and rob them.

I'm pretty sure you don't get to keep your weapons after you leave the military forces

but you may leave there with a sense of discipline and self worth and being a team whilst earning good money

and you would have got out of  bed with a purpose for two years which may have broken a cycle of depression or laziness or

hopelessness whatever your case may be

I think that the poster was referring to a person, not a piece of metal.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder??? From what? Having to get their butt out of bed and actually doing some physical activity and perhaps some neural activity?

Deadly weapon?? Do you mean that being part of a proactive, disciplined team with the ability to generate some original thought would be a deadly weapon against the Labor ethos?

Are you people serious?

What happened to your skunk?

The urge to rewrite another posters comment to add the required twist for your mockery was too much to resist, was it?

[poddster]

This is not a Dead Skunk thread.

The skunk is reserved for threads that qualify.

The comments from the other two posters are direct comments of theirs, yes I have questioned their comments, it is a pity they didn't question them before making such outlandish ridiculously statements

Is that how you view an opposing viewpoint? As mockery?

Is that part and parcel of the Labor mantra?

No, it's not how I view an opposing viewpoint.  It is how I view the comment I replied to, which was not an opposing viewpoint and was a mocking insult directed at another poster.

Actually the whole idea of military training for the 'lower ranks' is to stamp out any vestige of original thought and replace it with instant and unthinking obedience to orders. The last thing the top brass wants is cannon fodder that question authority.
