All subsequent armed forces have been for defence and invasion.<br />ALL armed forces should be disbanded and therefore there would be no wars - no chess pieces to play chess: no chess.<br />Special forces are the bankers' death squads, their armed forces their assassins. <br /><br />regards<br /><br />HarbingerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077444.post-44363430310110937842015-06-12T11:09:26.159-05:002015-06-12T11:09:26.159-05:00A ban like this is impossible to enforce, and will...A ban like this is impossible to enforce, and will just drive the operations even deeper into the darkness. It is control and accountability that is needed, and a withdrawal from imperialism: without that intense desire to meddle around the world without any control and accountability, the spec-ops will continue to abuse and be abused. By restoring military forces to their only legitimate function - the defense of liberty against aggression - the need for spec-ops WILL be reduced, and control of budgets and operations will be possible. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Even in defense (examples: colonial forces during the American War for Independence, Texian forces during the Texas War for Independence, southern forces during the War of Northern Aggression, occupied countries under the Third Reich during WW2) there is still a need for spec-ops forces.Nathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077444.post-20978504992059494992015-06-11T09:26:58.455-05:002015-06-11T09:26:58.455-05:00Obama nixed torture in January 2009 (previously ba...Obama nixed torture in January 2009 (previously banned by Reagan) and replaced it with assassination, by drone and hit squads. This is in line with The 2015 National Security Strategy:<br /><br />The strategy sets out the principles and priorities that describe how America will lead the world toward greater peace and a new prosperity.<br /> We will lead with purpose, guided by our enduring national interests and values and committed to advancing a balanced portfolio of priorities worthy of a great power.<br /> We will lead with strength, harnessing a resurgent economy, increased energy security, an unrivaled military, and the talent and diversity of the American people.<br /> We will lead by example, upholding our values at home and our obligations abroad. . . .<br /><br />(just kidding)Don Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444968656600936525noreply@blogger.com
