      Lyman,

      Two things:

      First, "retard" gets someone a warning, yes?

      Second, which do you regard as the strongest point? Simply agreeing with it isn't the same thing as taking it in and thinking about it.

          "All of them" as an answer doesn't even require reading the list, does it? Besides a minimal skimming to know that the text confirms one's pre-existing biases. That's the point I'm making, and exactly how that kind of propaganda works. It's how made up stuff comes to be taken as "alternative facts", to use Kellyanne's memorable phrase. My curse, or blessing, is that I am stubbornly resistant to other people forming my thoughts for me. For that I'm called a "r-----".

              It's called "Contempt Toward Officials" (Article 88 of the UCMJ). If there were others involved it could be "Mutiny" (Article 94.)

              "UCMJ Article 94: Mutiny and Sedition. A service member of the United States armed forces who seeks to overthrow lawful civil or military order by seditious or mutinous acts either through violence or disobedience could face punishment under Article 94 of the UCMJ. Accusations of mutiny and sedition are some of the most serious in the military."

                Vern subscribes to the Nuremberg defense.

                  you act like every one is walking in lock step with each other and incapable of making a decision on their own if they don't see things your way,

                  that is your curse,

                  and you will stubbornly rebut this but know it is true,
