What does any of this have to do with metal detecting?

Earl, this thread is in our barracks forum, a forum for our ex military members. TreasureNet is made up of hundreds of forums, many of them have nothing to do with treasure hunting..

By the way welcome to TreasureNet.

I was in the Blue Water Navy when Nam was going on, but not in country. After returning to native soil,
I saw the moral decline of this nation. It made me sad/sick as the changes took place under the scream
for "freedom" and "choice". Now, this country is very far gone; not a safe place to be, due to the drug
use that is far too common. But that is their "freedom".
As for the extremists, DO WHAT EVER IS NEEDED to defeat them. Fight them the way they fight, only do
a lot more than they do. Make it a psychological war, thus convince them they can not win. That will make
them stop.
Let me make it simple. A snake will always be a snake. Feed it, pet it, play with it, handle it. Eventually, it
will bite you. You can not "nice up" a snake or re-educate it to turn it into a puppy dog. It will always be
a snake. The radicals, extremists, or terrorists will not change; you, me, Washington, Islam, can not
change them into something else. So, treat them like the snakes they are, cut off the head and grind the
body into the dirt.
Before the children of Israel went into the promised land, God told them to kill all of the inhabitants of the
land. The instruction was simple, clear, and there was no way it could be misunderstood. God said all of
the inhabitants, include the animals. Too bad the nation of Israel did not do as God said; if they had, we
would not have this mess today.
People today say "God Bless America". The actions on 911 indicate to me that God was warning us that
he is not blessing the US now. The only way to restore the blessings will be thru repentance. But our
nation has continued to decline since 911. Now, it looks like only God's judgement can be expected.

I salute all those that served in the US military. I will ask that you be blessed for serving, for God does
care that you served.
To those reading this, is say, fare the well.

Another opinion/view

I think a point is being missed here. Those radical groups only goal is to have everyone either converted to there way of life or dead. Don't you see? They are killing aid workers, journalist, and priest without even flinching. Hay, they are even making videos of it and bragging about it! Do you really think they would stop at Asia, Africa etc.

I agree with the generals, you cannot expect to have a "war", and win, if you are so politically correct, that you lose sight of the word WAR, and its meaning. War is a terrible thing, and I think the voters who oppose "enhanced questioning techniques", have no idea of what war is. An army, any army, has to obliterate the enemy. Period. It sucks that innocents die, but it is an unavoidable consequence of war. You cannot "fight fair" and expect the enemy to do the same. If a people wants to defeat evil, they have to act. They, themselves, must rise and be willing to sacrifice to prevail, or nothing will change. God help our kids over there. Politics have to be set aside, and Islamic terrorists killed. Dead.

WTF is is Sh**t doing on Treasurenet.

You guys want to chat about torture, then do it somewhere else. (Edited by mod)

Well, I spent 8 years in the Army so I think I am entitled to my opinion here.
I am sick and tired to seeing refrences to US tourcure of the enemy. Things were mentioned like turning the lights on and off to deprive them of sleep and here they are cutting off the heads of there captured prisoiners and you see less protest. I think we would be better off without prisiners if you get my drift. Just my opinion on war tactics. FrankView attachment 1090249
