Yeah, well, no, not hardly
I’m sure everyone saw Doc Bailey’s post yesterday about the troops who posted their political opinions while wearing a uniform and hiding their faces behind those printed opinions. Of course, some morons are using these pictures to drive traffic to their Imgur and Reddit accounts, like this screen shot that ROS sent us;
Notice where the idiot says that we’ll support the troops firing on Americans because they were issued an order. No, dumbass, you missed the whole point. In 2007, this blog opposed Adam Kokesh wearing his uniform to make a political statement. In 2009, this blog opposed the birthers in uniform who refused to deploy to the war on terror because of some goofy shit about a birth certificate.
Being ordered to Syria is a lot different than being ordered to fire on American citizens. There’s a mechanism in place for the troops to avoid being forced to obey unlawful orders. First of all, you’d have to believe that every officer in the military would be willing to issue that order. you’d also have to believe that the fellow down the street with whom you grew up would be willing to pull the trigger on you and your family.
The first week in basic training, I learned that I didn’t have to obey illegal orders, and I’m sure they still teach that principle.
The reason that most of us oppose those pictures is that the uniform that we all wore at some point in our lives isn’t a political prop, regardless of whether we agree with your point or not. The uniform doesn’t give us any leg up in this debate, it’s just a way to get attention and drive up the “Likes” on your Facebook page (for whatever good that does you).
Another fact to consider is that some of those clowns in those pictures aren’t in the military. I suspect many are phonies and that’s why they hide their faces so we can’t bust them. If they truly believed that they could decide which wars they participate in or not, they’d march into their first sergeant’s office and tell him, not hide behind a piece of paper on someone else’s Facebook page just to be a part of some stupid internet meme.
See what I did there?

And we have a winner! This week’s baby troll has just admitted to having a small mind.
OWB: agreed. Plus, you think that he could at least get the author’s name right if he’d actually read Halberstam’s book recently. (smile)
consistency is the sign of a very small mind
That comment right here has to be the single stupidest fucking comment I’ve read here in a long, long time. Lemme give you a heads-up, cooter. Consistency is not small-minded.
Moral relativism, situational ethics, other “bend with the wind” bullshit–THAT’S for those with small minds, and weaker spirits. It’s for those too cowardly to stand up for the things that they truly believe in, what they know to be right, and know they might take a lump or two for it.
Consistency, like it or not, takes a lot more balls than you’ll ever have, scooter.
27,
Having looked at quite a bit of history regarding Kent State, I’ve never seen it claimed anywhere that the Governor of Ohio directly ordered the guardsmen to fire. The closest reference I found involves him threatening a declaration of Martial Law but not following through. Is there something else I’m missing that confirms such an order?

I think Jonn linked this way back in the day, but there are also FBI reports that strongly suggest the guardsmen were fired upon before they fired.

I have a real problem with a fucking fraud like Brian Kolfage, and I don’t care how many of you went to high school with him or how many limbs he got shot off. Considering how much we’re trying to apprehend fakers, didn’t anyone else pick up that this E-4 (1) was a cop, as in MP, and not some SF function, which is claimed all over the place [He’s using the term SF because he knows everyone in the Army will misunderstand it (2) nice touch, wearing officer collar brass on an enlisted uniform. Look at his pictures, he does it all the time. He’s either really a dumb ass, or perhaps took that round to the head, or perhaps, perhaps, he’s not real. (3) Achievement Medal as High Award in two combat tours with a Commendation and a Heart at the end of one where he gets largely blown away? Right. The very veterans’ stories are wonderful, they actually cause you to almost have sympathy. So why is his wife named “Nikki” in half of them and “Ashley” in the other half. Come-on Chuckles, why don’t you just go play with your titty-model wife, leave the uniform at home, because you aren’t fit to wear my uniform. Seditious scum.
Brian Kolfage Sr. is using the website of his son, Brian Kolfage Jr. who is a legitimate war hero. Brian jr. is a triple amputee. His father has used his son’s war-hero status and is going around Facebook harassing people he doesn’t like. He has created all kinds of fake accounts and one women, who didn’t particularly care for his remarks, was treated to death-threat phone calls against her, her elderly mother, the place she used to work for and retired from, and so much more. Brian Kolfage Sr. is under police investigation for telling all those who follow him, like rats, to threaten this woman. (You can yell “Fire”, just not in a theater. There are reactions for your actions.)
This guy is a legitimate troll and a real piece of human wreckage. Any man that would take advantage of his son’s disability is a scumbag. But Brian Junior is also behind some of this, as well. He is not innocent in this at all. It sounds like the crabapple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Mr. Kolfage Jr. is most definitely not innocent … and considering the unpatriotic, political crap he posts on his page, he most definitely is not a “war hero” – he is nothing more than a casualty of war.
He, his father, AND his wife were involved in harassing me AND my family. One of them bought one of those “off-the-shelf” password crackers for Facebook and hacked my SO’s Facebook account – from there, they paid for background checks on me and Michelle. They defaced pictures of my infant daughter – which is ironci considering that the hypocrite, Kolfage Jr., got very upset about when his daughter was simply included in a pic which lampooned him and his father.
They defaced pictures of my son – an Eagle Scout with 4 Eagle Palms and an Order of the Arrow, as well as a member of the National Honor Society and recipient of his AICE diploma (from Cambridge University in the U.K.)
They posted personal information about Michelle (as well as me.) They even doctored up screen shots in order to try to get me fired.
Here’s a good example of Mr. Kolfage Jr’s attack on me:

Like Dr. Goebbels (of Nazi fame), he obviously believes if he keeps on telling the same lie over and over, it will be true.
I never attacked his family. And the reason I keep at him is not because he’s conservative (he’s not) but because he’s a seditious douche who is a disgrace to the uniform. He’s also guilty of defrauding the VA by claiming extra money he was not entitled to.
Brian Sr is a chickenhawk who dodged the draft and never served, ironically. He is a volunteer “chaplain” at an american legion post in royal oak, if you can believe that. But Jr is just as guilty as Sr in regards to the crimes committed from that page.
Senior Airman Brian Kolfage is a psychopathic nutcase. He essentially tried to get his fans to murder people. The proof has been made aware. He manufactured a fake comment, and claimed a 62 year old woman named Jan made it, then gave his rabid fan base her personal info, like address and phone number. She was stalked and harassed for 5 months, before he admitted himself the comment he alleged she made was fake!
He has posted dozens of peoples addresses, phone numbers, employers, and essentially called for his fan base to find them and give them “street justice(his exact words)”. Had his fans carried out with their threats, Brian would have been an accomplice to conspiracy to commit homicide.
Several police reports across the country by his victims have been filed, but because they are in different states, theres not much the cops can do, which is sad. Brian Kolfage is basically a cult leader, no different than Jim Jones or Charlie Manson.
He evangelizes his crazy birther conspiracies, seditious rants, and perverted patriotism. He whips his wierdo fan base up into a rabid, frothing angry violent mob, and then sics them on whomever he deems a target or adversary. People have gone into hiding, changed phone numbers, EVEN MOVED! as a result of the danger Kolfage has generated!
Because he is a triple amputee, he exploits his own tragedy to wiggle out of responsibility and accountability. He has right wing bloggers on stand by to write articles about him, praising him, spreading his crap. Its really sick and twisted…its like seeing a very small version of the early nazi movement with this guy.
Over Zealous, cult mentality, violent and relentless in pursuit of silencing dissent….creepy, creepy stuff. His whole family is involved, too. His wife, his father, his in laws…they threaten to kill people all over the internet, make fake accounts, threaten to kill peoples children…its truly amazing this exists and can go on to the extremes and levels it has.
