i'm not certain that the courts would ever touch that issue without being compelled to do so by political actions from one of the other two branches of government. Even so, the SCOTUS is compromised in the matter, two justices having been appointed by Obama. Those two justices would probably...
DISCLAIMER: i am a 'birther' and not a member of either of the two major political parties.
John S. McCain III was born in a military hospital in the Panama Canal Zone. SOFA (status of forces agreement) at the time makes him a natural born American Citizen.
In modern times, the real issue...
The Nazis weren't about to accuse the Jews of being "Christ Killers".
Christ was a good Jewish boy you see...;)
The Nazi elitists, particularly the wackos like Himmler were into that "good old religion" of pagan Norse Gods.
Offhand, i'd have to say that it eliminates the burden of Al Gore Jr. having his father live vicariously through his efforts for the White House. Less pressure from Daddy's ghost.
This might make Gore Jr. a more acceptable candidate to the American People. He's not seen as 'waffling' so much...
In terms of the size of US forces, it's ASB. We simply don't have that much force to project any more.
The Active Army is at 10 Divisions, and the Marines to three Expeditionary Forces, so something larger than the US committment to Desert Storm simply isn't going to happen barring a...
there's your POD. Have the 1937 stamp act challenged and declared unconstitutional.
After all, you're just a couple of decades removed from Prohibition, which DID take a constitutional amendment.
It's not the SCOTUS of the late 20th Century.
Excuse me? That's misleading. Historically military suicide rates have been below that of the general population.
In fact the rate is rising for the military.
We can argue causuality at some other time in some other place with some other people, but the rate is increasing.
i'm retired...
Maybe some stuff that's darker on one side of the popular music spectrum. From what we've seen about long term conflicts OTL with almost 11 years of combat and an increasing number of suicides among the military, dark is probably going to come out with a longer Vietnam conflict. Because the...
Ok, i have a nice little situation that i can run before you.

i haven't kept up on it, but i've heard that some Army Troops are on their seventh combat deployment. Considering that the early tours were 15 months for the Army, that's over seven years away from their families for career soldiers. We're reaching the point where US involvement in the...
i've fired it full auto. It wasn't easy to control. It was a good dependable weapon though. The thing is still in service as a marksman weapon. They've made it a lot 'sexier' than it was when i first trained on it...never mind how long ago.:(
The US actually has sufficient basing for troops to be pulled home. Remember, we've mothballed quite a few bases, and the US Army was reduced to 10 active Divisions, and 3 Marine Corps Expeditionary Forces (Divisions + attachments).
i can tell you that other governments would breath a sigh of...
A bit of reality from a Paul supporter
Have you ever read what Ron Paul's agenda is?
End the Department of Energy
End the Department of Education
End the tax collection department of the IRS
