Another US Military incident : (

this makes me feel uncomfortable being an sailor here in Japan...We are starting to get the reputation like those freakin' Marines

[dannavy85]

As long as some source is cited. I just don't see, or understand why people post news without citing at least one source.

It's all over the news, grow up.

I'm sorry to say that some of the jerks are sailors. I don't understand what changed between the Midway and the Independence when they switch out but apparently something went seriously wrong with our discipline.

Isn't it obvious?

You are your Government. *eye roll*

And yours is perfect too? Give me a break!

Yeah really...no government is perfect...

Exactly, you are the government...

hey, sit down and listen and they'll tell you when you're wrong
eradicate but vindicate as "progress" creeps along
puritan work ethic maintains its subconscious edge
as old glory maintains your consciousness

there's a loser in the house and a puppet on a stool
and a crowded way of life and a black reflecting pool
and as the people bend the moral fabric dies
then country can't pretend to ignore its peoples' cries

you are the government
you are jurisprudence
you are the volition
you are jurisdiction
and I make a difference too

Since you obviously realize this, why are you acting like it's "always America, it's only America, America is full of bad people that should just die"?

I'm pissed that this shit happens, too. It's annoying that some people don't realize that their actions reflect on everything associated with them. Right now, I'm more annoyed that you people here think that because we have some low-lifes in our military means that the whole of the US is filled with these same losers.

i talk about america becuase it IS us that create alot of these incidents. im not hating america or anything like that. i said that i am embarrassed how we as the so called greatest nation on the planet tend to handle things. i know that individuality isnt a crime but our military recruits alot of people a little on the crazy side. but i do feel it is always is america. look at our past. we were the ones who gave weapons to osama bin laden, we were the ones who provoked both russia and N. korea , we took land from mexico, started wars with alot of countries, we destroyed alot of columbias countryside by trying to destroy certain plants down there, we crreated the A-bomb, we have racism, hate, poverty, i can go on. you cant say its all africas fault or its all India's fault when they have no part in whats going on with america in the the past and now

well you are stuck on a ship for months if none at all so of course some people would go crazy from something like that. if i was stuck on a boat like that id probably pick up crack smoking and heroine.

The military has the lowest entrance requirements of any full-time occupation, it's bound to get some people who are a little meh.

We trained and armed Bin Laden during the Russo-Afghan war, as I recall.

We were at odds with Russia ideologically. Who provoked who is probably impossible to really say.

North Korea invaded South Korea. We had little to do with it. The only thing we are at fault for there is allowing Russia to take over North Korea in the first place and establish a communist system.

Every nation has a lot of wars sometime in their history -_- . Granted, our leaders have been a bit trigger happy in the last thirty years (boys with toys :P ) .

We created the A-Bomb and with it Nuclear power, radiation therapy for cancer patients, started a whole new field of science....

What multi-ethnic country doesn't have racism/hate? What country doesn't have poverty?

I wasn't going to say it was anybody's fault -_- .

Ramones, that little half-rhyme is about as idealistic as it gets. Don't get me wrong; I fully believe that the government governs with the consent of the governed. However, I can't think of a single society in all the history that I have yet learned where this, though true, was realized and actualized full-time by the people. There've been revolutions over this concept, but new governments that come from these revolutions are often quick to forget why they revolted in the first place (Even George Washington, it is said, was told by several of his advisors that he could take over the government and have all the power for himself--not even a year after we'd won our independence from Britain because we didn't want to be stuck in that monarchy/dictatorship). In other words, people will think about this and act on it briefly, but only briefly.
