is it a bigger lie than, “a magic man in the sky gave us this land so we should be able to force off anyone who has lived here for generations because they’re not one of “us”" ? Sounds like a crazy story to tell to compel the youth into military service

Now thats just ignorant caligula. What is your reasoning?

These stories are chocked full of teaching moments. Where to begin:

The United States is but one of a tiny number of nations established on the rule of written law. Law based on the notion that the honorable human’s person and property are inviolate. If the individual is not attacking the liberty of another individual, then NOBODY has a charter under the civilized society to do anything to that individual.

When the US citizen ventures outside the borders of this nation, the rules change. In many cases the rules are in a constant state of flux depending on the mood of who ever happens to be in charge at the moment (sorta like the present White House). This means that risk to the individual’s well-being rises exponentially.

Given our supposed respect for the sovereignty of other nations (civilized or not), we are pre-disposed not to bring force to bear upon another nation when the effects of their uncivilized behaviors rain down on one of our own. Often, it’s not even possible to bring useful force. I recall a bit on 60 Minutes over 30 years ago talking about students who simply ‘disappeared’ while on holiday in some less than civilized nation.

Lesson: We’re presently in a struggle to prevent our own nation from becoming as despotic as most other nations on the planet. Step outside at your own risk. Best you stay home and work to preserve what liberty we have left if not restore the nation to its original charter under our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

Consider prisoners being held by nations striving for civilized behavior. Whether it’s Israeli jails or Guantanamo Bay, the idea is that you take individuals captured in the act of dishonorable behavior off the streets. Then comes cadres of citizens with little or no concept of what it takes to protect the liberty of fellow citizens. In fact, many of these dissidents are themselves enemies of individual and communal liberty.

They argue that every detained individual is entitled to thousands of dollars of legal benefit at taxpayer expense (much of which goes into the pockets of the dissidents themselves). Okay, it’s already costing the taxpayers great sums of money to hold these individuals harmless to our society . . . how about this? Take no prisoners.

When the civilized force encounters an uncivilized force, how about a Judge Dread approach to threat mitigation? Wipe them out. For the cost of a few bullets and/or explosives, we save our nation great expense of housing the enemy and sifting their ranks for the occasional but dubious innocents.

What thoughts might we discover in the minds of the Israelis as they trade these demonstrated liabilities to liberty and security for one of their own citizens.

Lesson: The barbarians should be careful about what they ask . . . the answer could very well be more distasteful than the status quo.

Lesson: There are limits to the patience and tolerance of honorable citizens to dishonorable behaviors. Both between nations and within nations. There ultimately comes a time when major upheavals will take place . . . with outcomes less than certain.

thousands of years? the palestinians were not there that long! you obvioulsy don’t know the history of israel! you can’t argue over facts that you don’t know about!

sk, you need to learn a little history and do some research instead of being brainwashed by anti-Semitic professors. Israel did not steal the land. They won it in battle when they were attacked from all sides. They did not return it after the war in order to maintain a buffer to protect themselves from being attacked again. The countries around Israel want the land back so they can again attack Israel. They lost the land due to their stupid desire to destroy Israel.

Israel has been kind enough to agree to allow the Palestenians any land at all. There was no such name as Palestine thousands of years ago. The Israelites treat the Palestenian citizenz with the utmost respect and view them as one of their own. If you look at what the Palestenian children are being taught you would realize that they dont “just want their land back” they want total anialation of the entire country of Israel. Why are you so blinded? Open your eyes and see. Here in my state the jews are contributing to our community and helping to make the world a better place. Its like their light in a dark world. Think for yourself look for a jewish center around you and do your own research. I’m willing to bet you have one near you and they have impacted your community for the better.

the 5 dual citizenship traitors in bush adminastration explains why the u.s lied it’s way into iarq,against the u.s publics will! dual citizenship IS unconstitutional!

Yes, it was. But thanks to the courts no longer is. The entire concept of “dual citizenship” goes against everything this country used to stand for. No more.

Not only is it perfectly legal to have dual citizenship, it’s legal to serve in another military as part of the obligations of citizenship in another country.as long as that country isn’t engaged in hostilities against us.
