The Civil War, one of the dumbest wars in human history. I know, it's about "States' rights," not slavery. Well, no...it is about slavery and, aside from that, slavery or no breaking away from the union would have only led the South into complete ruin and devastation. Woohoo! You won, got to kee...

(Kill someone + here illegally) should = automatic death sentence to be carried out immediately. Don't even need to worry about costs, just use a good rope and find a tree branch somewhere.

[quote]I'm not going to go back and find all of your linked examples, you can reference them specifically if you'd like.

[quote]That does not mean the CIC is clear on the regulations. I doubt USMC regulations were discussed during Obama's brave service in the Kenyan Cavalry, so he might not be familiar with them.
