OT: Trust In America and Her Leaders ** Was:

Planes & Bellies

 

 

> Hey y'all,

>

> In the 70s, a half dozen planes a month were being hijacked to Cuba.

> The president declared war on hijacking and directed the US Army

> Military Police Corps to assist. Without presidential direction, we

> can't enforce law and order off a federal reservation due to bastardized

> interpretation of the ancient Posse Commatatus Act - which really was

> enacted to keep the Federal Troops from directing Suth'ran polling

> places after the War of Seccesion .. anyway, I had some of my MPs

> assigned temporary duty (as did other commanders) as armed Sky Marshals

> - I lost control of them at that point - operational control went to an

> FBI/Federal Aviation Commission joint effort. Many American folks were

> upset .. especially those with a left-leaning spirit. They came up with

> all kinds'a wild ass, hair-brained reasons why it wouldn't work. They

> were harbingers of doom - as we see a lot of today on many of the

> lists.

>

> We never harmed an innocent person .. we weren't cowboys. We weren't

> even noticed on the plane.

>

> We STOPPED the hijackings to Cuba in the 70s - it worked. Can't argue

> with something that works - huh?

>

> Regardless of what American security folks come up with, there will be

> arm-chair experts questioning each move - telling folks reasons why this

> and that won't work .. they have ZERO experience in law enforcement but

> they are still experts. ;-( Today, more than anytime in the past, we

> must trust in America's system of law enforcement. It is the mission of

> terrorists to terrorize .. and to cause a population to lose faith and

> question the actions of their leaders and institutions. We should not

> let those A$$holes think they have accomplished that part of their

> mission.

>

> If we search hard and long for a negative bit to harp on .. and there

> are some who live to do this as they are in the rut and on the downside

> of life .. even if they don't recognize it themselves. If we do this,

> we can't even look closley at our neigbors, our priests and preachers or

> even the Pope .. if we do - we'll find something negative - if we want

> to.

> > I really do like the idea of Sky Martials on the planes, just as I

always

> > welcomed riding in a NYC subway car with a Cop! No matter how lame the

> > airports' security is the Sky Martials make me more comfy. Only a

suicidal

> > fool hijacks a plane with armed sky Martials on it .... wait a sec,

scratch

> > that, since we are dealing with suicidal fools ;( ....
