Well seems that some of you LEO are in the wrong business. I read some good comments here but on the other side maybe some of you should be looking for employment elsewhere. You took the oath to protect and serve. Do not come crashing down on me, I am just adding my two cents for what it’s worth and that may not be much. I have spent months away from my family and if they ever needed anything the wife new what to do. I here about this order of fraternity within the LEO community and I can respect it. We had the same thing in the military but if you cut and run, try not to run to fast that the yellow line on your back keeps sticking. Some of you folks with your comments bring respect to your profession others; well you know how I feel.
sf45acp, you sound like your (don't take this as a personal shot) brainwashed. There comes a time in a Man's life when you have to evaluate your personal life and the world that you live in, sorta like Smedley Darlington Butler did. He was retired at rank of Major General. Here is my favorite quote from Mr. Butler:
"I spent 33 years and 4 months in active service as a member of our country's most agile military force--the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to Major General. And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism. I suspected I was part of a racket all the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all members of the military profession I never had an original thought until I left the service."
Smedley D. Butler (1881-1940)
The only thing i do not agree with in the above quote is where he says: he was a "Muscle man for capatilist" although he was a "Muscle man" it was not for Capitalism, it was for racketeers.
So, there is an inherent diffrence between Military and Civilian Law Enforcement. It's time the Military (especially the Corps) learn this diffrence.
So, you would go awol on your familiy to protect politicians and there Racket?
Have you looked at Obama's criminal associates? There real winners, there communist, Eugenisis, radical domestic terrorist etc.Now, Bush, Clinton Etc. are no diffrent, there just taking orders from there masters and in essence so are you.
Now you don't have to be a DELTA (Detective) person to figure out the cause and effect of the missions you may or may not be serving, but here are a few.
Iraqi war: oil pipelines
Afghanistan: largest known mineral deposit on earth, Opium and another MAJOR oil pipeline.
Christmas day shoe bomber: naked body scanners at all airports, check out who has stock in this naked body scanner company.
H1N1 vaccine: Rumsfeld was a major share holder in the company that produced this shot.
For every fighting reason there is usually a money racket behind it.....Sorry, but it is the truth. The United States has had very little to no good reason to have our military involved in fighting for our freedooms. In fact another reason we fight wars is because of the global bankers love financing war, it's called the military industrial complex and it is a gold mine for the bankers, Major General Butler spoke of this alot.
Now, i am not suggesting a bunch of cave dwellers would not love to kill Americans, because we know they would, our Government just uses there services for there agenda.
So, for your sake, get out of the robot mentality and think while you can.
Before you spout off at the mouth i hope you take the time to educate yourself on the matters at hand.
check out the Federal Reserve act of 1913 and the gold standard act of 1971.
Thomas Jefferson said it the best in this quote:
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
Thomas Jefferson,
3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)
I was once like you and understand where your coming from, i just realized that there was more to what we were told and i was thankful a Marine actually opened my eyes years ago with this truth.
