Retired General McChrystal weighs in on the AWB...
and it ain't good.
Yep, and it's purely a symbolic gesture anyway once you're past your twenty and eligible for retirement. 0-9 monthly retirement pay is probably more than most of us gross while still in the workforce ...He didn'd resign, he offered his resignation, and if you don't understand the difference, you were probably never in the service.
"And an M4 carbine fires a .223 caliber round, which is 5.56 millimeters, at about 3,000 feet per second. When it hits a human body, the effects are devastating. It's designed to do that. And that's what our soldiers ought to carry."
This is the very same thing I said on another board. I have very little doubt about it.I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal, were he still an active general, if given the order by his Master to "confiscate the arms of the worker peasants and serfs, by any means necessary" would send out his troops to butcher as many thousands of civilians as his troops could find.
And McChrystal is not the only one "upstairs" who'd do it, either.
"Just following orders, sir."

Plan2live, you are exactly right, america loves buzz words they can't handle a lengthly arguments.
"I spent a career carrying typically either an M16, and later an M4 carbine," he said. "And an M4 carbine fires a .223 caliber round, which is 5.56 millimeters, at about 3,000 feet per second. When it hits a human body, the effects are devastating. It's designed to do that. And that's what our soldiers ought to carry."
"I personally don't think there's any need for that kind of weaponry on the streets and particularly around the schools in America. I believe that we've got to take a serious look. I understand everybody's desire to have whatever they want, but we’ve got to protect our children, we’ve got to protect our police, we've got to protect our population. And I think we have to take a very mature look at that."
