    Stay out of military justice you say. Can't you grasp that Donald Trump is the Commander in Chief of the US Military.

    As reported by the liberal news media.

    We don't need to sh*t on people who have sacrificed a lot for our country.

    Liberal news media? The Daily Kos, or something?

    Yes we do! We need professional armed forces. If the Idiot in Chief can't command one, then we need to vote him out. That's how we became the largest power in the world.

    Opinion of coworkers. Hardly convincing.

    "Coworkers"? I don't tend to view people whose life depends on each other as simply "coworkers". But it's not just the "opinion". Only a psychopath would take a picture with a dead human being as if they were a "trophy".

    We have a professional military led by a civilian Commander in Chief.

    If you think the news media in this country reports the truth you have never been the subject of a news story.

    We do. But war crimes are not tolerated in a professional military, or it ceases to be professional.

    What the hell does publishing "the truth" or not have to do with it being "liberal" or with me being the subject of a news story? You can always tell when somebody doesn't know what they're talking about when they jump wildly from one thing to another.

    Tell you what.... get your ideas clear in your head and then come back to us.

    For most people a simple sentence is generally pretty clear. The point being if you had ever been the subject of a news story you would more than likely know via personal experience they (news media) generally lie. You have condemned a man based on a case you know nothing about except for Trump hit stories you read in the liberal media.

    War crimes? Posing with a dead body is a war crime to you?

    I have. And have seen the media lie. In my case they have mostly embellished the stories. But I have known of cases where they publish inaccurate facts. But that still doesn't tell me anything about this "liberal press" you made up. MSM sometimes publishes that are inaccurate because they are biased towards profits. Not because they're liberal or conservative or... any of those. Exception being Fox and their echo-chamber. I have also seen small press left-wing leaning (and right-wing leaning, of cocourse) outlets make incorrect claims. But they don't claim to be "fair and balanced".

    So this "liberal media" is a fantasy you just... made up. Or maybe, worse yet....that the Fox echo-chamber made up for you... and you believed. There is right wing media and there is corporate media. But, other than those small outlets that are open about their political leaning, there is no such thing as "liberal media" in this country.

    In any case, I know a lot about Trump other than the stories I read. I hear, for example, Trump himself! And you should too.

    To me? That's a pretty dumb question. It is to a crime to a military judge and military jury. Who cares if it is to me?

    The entire debacle surrounding the George Zimmerman incident would qualify as evidence of such. Continually referring to George Zimmerman as a white hispanic, to deliberately push a racist narrative that did not exist. Posting a prepubescent photograph of Trayvon Martin to present the belief a grown man murdered a child. Deliberately editing the 911 call to make it sound like George Zimmerman was making a racist report. And so on.

    Based on my experience as a human being. Too many among Trump followers have forgotten what that means.

    Huh? What does George Zimmerman have to do with the press being "liberal"? Other than the fact that Sean Hannity, for some weird reason, decided to come out in defense of an obvious racist... what the hell does that even have to do with politics at all? Is it because Obama felt sorry for the guy who was killed for no other reason than pure pigheadedness (on both sides)?

    George Zimmerman is an example of how the press places its emphasis on the side they believe makes them the most money. Just like they did on the Hillary email "scandal", or Benghazi, or Monica Lewinsky.... Corporate Media is biased towards making money. Right now, exposing Trump's lies makes them more money. They don't "hate" Trump. They love him. Because he makes them money every day. If, for any reason, tomorrow they felt they would make more money praising Trump... guess what.... that's exactly what they will do.

    Some on the right believe the "kool aid" about Corporations acting as political entities even against their own interest. That is pure simplemindedness.

    You called it a war crime. There is a difference between a crime and a war crime. I wanted to see if you knew the difference. And you don't.

    Yeah, only Obama was permitted to order the assassination of an American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki, without due process and similarly processed his son a couple of weeks later. Not a word from the PC warriors. That's why many don't give a crap what you post. You have no principles, just rabid slobbering hatred.

    Oh God! I don't know the difference?

    :roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol:

    I don't know why some on this forum fail to understand that reading my sig would spare them much embarrassment.

    In case you didn't get the messages: Yes! It was a war crime! and Read my sig!

    Present the evidence of what qualified the incident of being a war crime. Not merely the opinion of some bureaucrat, but the actual evidence of such.
