re: #449 Quilly Mammoth

Uhmmm, yes, we do. You have no fucking idea what you are talking about. Please stop before you completely make an ass out of yourself.

At every level we teach our soldiers what they can and cannot do. We rely on them…because we don’t have a fucking choice…to do the right thing. That is why our soldiers, Marines and sailors are the best troops on the earth. We trust them and train them and teach them how to be leaders.

If you think that they have to have wardens…aka Political Officers…to keep them in line then you can get the hell out of my country right now.

The idea behind the Geneva convention is that we don’t trust our soldiers to know when to stop, so instead we have civilians holding the chain.

We don’t need commissars but we do need civilian control of the military that ‘s why the President is commander and chief, even with all the training we give our soldiers, we still don’t let them get to make the final call.
