However, let's examine just what this means. For starters... Each military courtroom Any courtroom that displays these military flags behind the Judge is a military courtroom.

A. Oh brother. Not another one of you kooks. If the court janitor happens to order a US flag with gold fringe on it, it doesn't make it a military court. And it's kind of funny that, even with that gold fringed flag, they still abide by constitutional requirements when ruling on cases. I see it ever week. Go back in your bunker.

What are Obama Past Associations and Are They Important?
Q. Barack Obama does not want anyone talking about his radical associations. He s even sought criminal prosecutions against those who have dared to speak out on issues that make him squirm. Average Americans are judged by the company they keep, and our leaders ought to be held to the same standard. Even though Obama says the issue is resolved (and John McCain refuses to raise it) voters must consider the case of Jeremiah Wright. Think of it this way: Barack Obama has himself estimated that he attends church twice a month. He spent twenty years at Chicago s Trinity United Church of Christ under the leadership of Rev. Wright. Within this metric, a rough calculation concludes that Obama sat through approximately 500 sermons at that church. 500.… [cont.]

Are all German soldiers from WW2 considered Nazis?
Q. Could you been in the German army without being a nazi? Or is it a case of guilt by association?

A. No. In fact, most of Germany was not "Nazis" as you had to be an official party member to be considered a Nazi. But the vast majority of Germans did support Hitler and he only did what he felt had "approval" of the German people. Every time the German people would actually stand up to Hitler and the Nazi Party, Hitler would back down as he did not want to lose favor with "his people." For example, there were Jewish men living openly inside of Germany even as late as 1943. Their wives were German women and they stood up to Hitler and demanded their husbands back. There is even a movie about it called "Rosenstrasse." Link below is about the protest. Along the same lines, when you ask who caused the Holocaust, some… [cont.]

A. I don't care how aggrieved Muslims (or anyone other group of maniacs) are it doesn't give them the right to blow people to bits. And if the "official" definition of terrorism doesn't include a religious aspect then that definition became out of date on September 11 2001. Language is a living thing - it changes over time and the meanings of words alter, sometimes quite quickly. Few people today would agree with the "official" definition of the word terrorism if it didn't include a religious aspect. Perhaps you should concentrate less on books and the theoretical and more on the present and practical.

A. Your dismissal was illegal, so long as you complied with USERRA's rules about giving your employer formal written notice of going to training. Withholding your final paycheck is also illegal, as is altering your timesheet. I would suggest that you contact your unit's attached JAG officer - he will be familiar with the law and will be able to advise you. Charities and environmental organizations are, far and away, the worst violaters of USERRA. They tend to be run by left-wing liberal 'tree-huggers' who simply don't want to be around military personnel. Richard

A. That pin of "crossed-flags with a vertical 'sceptre' " is the pin of the Signal Corps. Those cross-flags are signal flags waved by signal men (both in the Army & the Navy) to send morse code long distances. The U.S. Army Signal Corps was responsible for all communications of an Army in combat, most signals sent in combat were in top secret code.

His lawyers have said, he will shed his uniform "if he gets elected for a second term as President" , if not? He remains the army chief anyway and has the right to dismiss the new President as well as the new PM and the assembly etc. and declare marshal law all over again. If he wins, then he will pick up a lackey as army chief who will be his proxy, or constitute a committee to pick a new chief , and ensure that the committee never submits a report, even if it does, it does after 8-10 months by the time he will know what the future holds for him.
