Army Guide For Spotting Radicals

So I am a extremist?

Look at the criteria. Do you match a bunch of them? Specifically ARE YOU IN THE ARMY??

 

[IndyDave1776]

So I am a extremist?

You and a whole bunch of others here. Considering that according to DHS, being a veteran, believing in following the Constitution, believing in honoring the Second Amendment, opposing abortion, and believing in the second coming of Christ all make a person a potential terrorist (OK, I am going by memory and don't remember the whole list, just a few favorites), my guess is that anyone who would join INGO makes the grade here.

[Achmed the Dead Terrorist Voice] I'm extremely-- extremist. [/Achmed]

You guys are kind of over stating it. They are SIGNS to look for, not PROOF.

Being old is a risk factor for having Alzheimer's. Not every old person who forgets something has Alzheimer's, but no one gets bent out of shape when Doc says "Watch your mother for signs of dementia so we can act early if she develops it."

You don't see any cause for concern when you take a list of activities that would have multiple indications applying to most any political conservative or libertarian being presented in tandem with the 'see something, say something' mentality being pushed since 9/11 augmenting human nature's natural tendencies toward nosiness in addition to official paranoia about anyone who is not an impenetrably happy and content sheep? The driving force in any police state is to have the general public conditioned to be one big humint network which promptly drops a dime on anyone doing anything the least bit outside their expectations.

It's OK. We already know you're a terrorist!

Ok, I know what purple means... What does pink mean?

 

[CathyInBlue]

Indy Dave likes you... a lot. *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*

You're a cop, not an interior decorator! So what, I didn't pick the 'right' shade!

For the fifteen-bajillionth time, I'm not a cop! I have scruples.

I will go along with the scruples. Honest, decent, visit sick folks in the hospital, it works!

It's the same Army where my leadership accused me of being a skinhead because I gave myself buzz cuts instead of paying for high and tights. This was in the late 90's when they were paranoid about skinheads.

Did you also advocate violence beyond what is normal?

Or, were you more mainstream sticking to normal levels of violence? I wonder how the Army defines normal levels of violence?

It is only an issue if I bring over my bucket full of copper balls.

 

[CathyInBlue]

If the "normal" level of violence is insufficient to achieve the legitimate goals for which the violence is to be employed, then yes, I advocate in those cases a level of violence "beyond what is normal".

I was in the Infantry.

Normal levels of violence: "If I see you with my wife again, I'm gonna cap your A$$." or "We saw the women and kids evacuate that building, kick down the door and kill anything that looks like its pointing a weapon at you."

Violence beyond what is normal: "Gonna kill ALL them sonsa*****es!" or "that which may not be spoken on this forum."

What in the universe would you do pertaining to terrorism with a bucket of copper balls?
