(17,493 posts)should be sent to a "reeducation" camp for estrogen treatments and doses of marijuana?
I was trained how how to use an M16 but never had to fire one in warfare as I was stationed stateside during my entire tour of duty. Had I been sent to a war zone and found myself under attack from an enemy, I would have gladly used a firearm to defend myself and my fellow airmen.
I will admit that I am not and have never been a pacifist, however I don't agree with foolish wars fought for corporate gain and ego. Still I believe that it is wise for our nation to have a military force to defend against attack from enemy forces and also have political leadership that would be willing to engage an attacking force with any opponent who attacks us. Was our nation wrong to declare war against Japan and Germany after Pearl Harbor?
Of course you were just probably being sarcastic but I will ask you if you feel that I should be sent to a reeducation camp today merely because I own firearms for target shooting and self defense and also have a concealed weapons permit?
