An Officer's Obligation

[Puckstop31]

I would have loved to discuss the US Constitution, that is before I
read this quote. If you seriously don't know the answer already, there is
no chance of intelligent discourse. I don't have time to be your tudor.

First, its tutor not tudor. The Tudor's were a royal house that once ruled England. FYI.

Next, it was a simple question. You first quote an article, stating you "think" you found the answer, but did not say what that answer is. Then you stated "waterboarding IS torture". You said it with a confidence that lead me to believe you saw something I had not. So I just did little research and I now know that there is a legal definition of torture. Ya learn something new everyday.

Next, with all due respect, I find it funny that you, of all people, are saying "there is no chance of intelligent discourse." Thats all I ever wanted out of you. Like I say all the time, I seek out differing points of view. Yet you never seem to actually tell us what you think in threads like this. Why is that?

Also, again with all due respect, but if you can actually tutor me about the Constitution, I welcome it. I'll even start a fresh thread in a bit. I say this because I maintain a history degree, one where I spent most of my senior electives studying world governments. Coupled with a adult life long intrest into history. I like to think I am pretty well read. Now, don't take this like I am posturing, because I also know well enough that I don't know everything. Thus, I seek out differing points of view. I would happily welcome a discussion with you.

First, it's "interest" not "intrest" . Now just how do you" maintain" a
degree? Do they take it back if you don't change the oil every 5,000 miles?

My degree has an unconditional warranty... But I do have to rotate the tires every now and then!

I gotta admit, I chuckled.

How about we define "maintaining" a degree in that I USE it. I take the knowledge, research skills and wisdom I earned in getting that degree and keep the edge sharp.

Better? Can we get back to the point now?

I think us civilians should STFU about situations we suspect we know oodles about. If anyone has a problem with the way we treat those morons I ask that you adopt/sponsor one in your home this summer.

Hey great idea. No military has EVER needed civilian oversight. Nope, nope...NO MILITARY has EVER gone too far....

Better late then never I suppose. So what did you turn to for answers?
How did you become enlightened? I hope you took lots of notes while you
were at it, remember there will be a test on Monday.

You are a bad loser Liz. LOL


But a GREAT Dodge Ball player. Do you really think people don't notice how you dodge the issues?

Aww now, don't pout. When you grow up a little more, arm your self
with facts, people will be willing to take the time to discuss grownup issues
with you.
