This Major would have surrendered to the Nazi's in Germany in 1944 during the battle of the bulge. These people make me sick. IMHO.

I disagree. He would have surrendered, long before the battle of the bulge.

Oddly, I am super concerned about innocent pals and that is exactly why I am very hopeful that Israel can root out hamas. It’s obvious that hamas has zero regard for human life.

Maybe they’ll even turn up the Arafat billion in the aftermath.

With commies, Marxists, islamists and their sympathizers destroying the western world in pursuit of global domination it’s fairly amazing coming across the amount of false equivalence, concern trolling, straw men, complete fabrication etc......

I’m trying to figure out how to see incidents from ages ago past hamas hiding out in a hospital two weeks ago?

Any advice?

You are an american right?
Why are you getting your panties in a walk about what foreign countries do?
If you’re going to get indignant why don’t you use that indignation to close the border. Yhat’s our business, none of that stuff over there is our business. I challenge you to say why we should stick out nose in another nation’s business. Remember Vietnam? Can you see where this is heading?

Imagine being bombed because of the actions of Communist organizations such as Black Lives MatterTM and Antifa.

It's critical to distinguish between actual perps and those who live next door to them.

He did the honorable thing by resigning his commission. I think that it is great that he exposed his loyalties.

Quitting is his right. Better that our military doesn’t include his myopic views.

It’s critical to see commies/Marxists/islamists destroying the western world and pretend BLM/antifa are the ones seeking global domination.

Not exactly. That population elected, supported, concealed, watched silently as they built tunnels, smiled approvingly as they taught their children Jew hate in school etc. When the Oct 7 atrocity happened, then ran into the streets celebrating and cheering and throwing an impromptu parade as the murderers returned from Israel. They hid and guarded hostages in their homes. When their sons called home and bragged how many Jews they had personally killed, the parents bragged with pride.

They are as guilty as Hamas. They ARE Hamas. They deserve every bomb they get, just as people in Berlin and Tokyo did.

yes. if he can’t even bring himself to understand how a nation has to fight back when brutally attacked like the Fakestinian savages did on 07 October,
he’s totally unreliable for any role in defending America

totally unreliable. it is much better he not be entrusted with any aspect, even the smallest part, of our national defense

Personally, I find it hard to understand why people are bitching about just about anything Israel does to these cretins. They follow NONE of the laws of war, and thus they and their supporters should pay for that. If a single rocket is fired from a ‘civilian’ site, while not wearing identifiable uniforms with insignia, and a chain of command, the entire area should be leveled, and declared a legitimate reprisal. One would think that an officer of the U.S. military would know this. They should completely blockade Gaza and allow nothing whatsoever to be delivered until the entire area surrenders. The customary laws of war protects both civilian and military personnel in a conflict. Rigid adherence to same is the only thing that will end it. If the criminal enterprise known as “Mexico” were lobbing rockets across the border, we’d level those bastards to the point where not one stone would stand atop another.
