I think we can teach him a whole nother level of orchestrated violence if he wants to pursue his plan.
He should be thrown in prison for violating his oath.
This is so completely out of line I don't know where to even start.

I hope this is just something made up, because it makes my stomach turn to know that any man in uniform would be saying such things, but even worse when it's a high ranking officer who has no problem with pissing over the oath he swore to. Guess they're starting to look at the oath of service in this country like marriage. Only keep it so long as it's convenient and benefiting you.

While I vehemently disagree with the idea of disarming people, I again have to wonder if you all read the article. Regarding the title of this thread, a little context,
Quite different that the impression the title gives.
Even THAT statement is extremely troubling.....
1. The only guns permitted will be the following:
- a. Smoothbore or Rifled muzzle-loading blackpowder muskets. No 7-11 in history has ever been held up with one of these.
- b. Double-barrel breech-loading shotguns. Hunting with these is valid.
- c. Bolt-action rifles with a magazine capacity no greater than five rounds. Like I said, hunting is valid. But if you cannot bring down a defenseless deer in under five rounds, then you have no fking reason to be holding a killing tool in the first place.
Civilian control of the military is still the law of the land, and we are definitely in need a different civilian in control.
Take heed, take it to heart, and turn out at the polls.

I DID read the whole story and also picked up on that. However, it's still a sickening line of thought and it seems like he wants to go after my sons or grandchildren's generation, which has me equally sick to my stomach.
Boy howdy, I feel your pain. I keep looking for that link to The Onion, or some other satirical website, but no go. As a former military Officer I'm surprised that he can weigh in on such a politically charged issue with impunity.
If that is the case, and things have changed that much in the military, we in this country are arguably in much worse trouble than the average citizen seems to have the capacity to grasp. Scary as hell.
He refers to being stationed in England, then tries to claim that violence is his profession? Yeah, cause SIGINT is totally rough and tumble. What a douche.
I especially love that this guy styles himself an actual historian, and the part where he tells a half truth about the Militia Act is what convinced me that he's a failure as a scholar. Anybody can look that law up and see that he's badly misrepresenting it. IIRC it's 10 USC section 311. I do know it defines two classes of militia - the organized (not "regulated" - tard boy misuses that term a lot in his chest-thumping missive) which is in fact the National Guard. But there's also the unorganized militia, which is every able male of a given age, I want to say between 17 and 47.

Right you are ... but to 45
