No sir. We were told very early that our mission was and always would be to Follow Orders. If we are ordered to kill, we kill. If ordered to stand down we stand down.No time to even say Yes Sir. Of course it isn't what the recruiters say. They say what they're ordered to say. The pure mechanical and maniacal essence of 'service' the not-inhuman but un-human core inflicted on each of our souls. Good thing it wears off the farther in distance and time from daily indoctrination. That's not the problem, well, maybe some of it, but the notion we can be controlled like human drones.<br /><br />And the proof of it's effectiveness is the heinous wars fought and the quotes of the combatants fresh and in the field bears plentiful evidence.<br /><br />As for Christening the weaponry, yeah, that's blasphemy on a grand scale. There was a controversy when I was young about a war ship called The U.S.S. Corpus Christi. The Pentagon of course denied it was named for the Latin Rite communion, Hoc est Corpus Christi. They lied of course, the town in Texas was named that in an earlier phase of religious fervor. And the Navy claimed they hadn't even thought about it. I can believe it. Their sheer lack of remorse afterward being solid proof they're taught what to think. Not just to say, but it's a big part of thinking it. You say the same thing repeatedly and you believe it and think you came up with the concept and the Air Force etc merely agreed with YOUR concept.<br /><br />Keep up the not-fight for God. However you pronounce His many names. I tell you what, if we or somebody else started calling such ceremonies Bat Mitzvah instead of Christening some people might suddenly realizing that they've been unaffected that it's a deeply religious theme.Brother Jonahhttp://notmytribe.comnoreply@blogger.com
