Nuts and corruption in the military (Talking Pointsl inq7)

Talking Points -- The Fil-Am Vote
I'd like to echo Mr. Juanito's response to Mr. Corpus... nuts!

The problem with anti-war, appeasers, anti-America -- whatever -- is that they always have a problem with oppressed people being liberated by America.

Think back to the 60s... America was in a great battle against communism. The anti-war crowd sided with the enemy by portraying America as a bully while brushing off communist expansion.

Come to think of it, when the Americans left Vietnam, millions fled or were murdered while Pol Pot ravaged the Cambodian countryside, where millions more were murdered. Not a peek from the Left.

When Reagan built the military in the 80s cold war, he was called a warmonger, an idiot, a simpleton, an illiterate by the Left... pretty much the same way Bush is being characterized today (though harsher on Bush). But then the Soviets were defeated and millions were liberated from communism.

When Kuwait was invaded, Bush Sr. was again portrayed by the Left as a warmonger and trigger-happy. Kuwait was liberated too.

When Clinton did not do anything to hunt down the terrorists, he was the enlightened one... a global leader... sensitive to other nations... blah-blah-blah. In that era, the terrorists grew and became bold.

Now 50 million were freed from the grips of Islamo-facism and dictatorship... the terrorists are on the run... and America is still the bad guy... Bush is worse than Saddam and Osama... makes my head spin.

Talking Points -- The Fil-Am Vote
To Mr. Gerry Albert Corpuz: When the Germans sent a note urging the American commander at the Battle of the Bulge in World War II to surrender because the Americans were heavily surrounded by a superior force, the American commander replied with one word: "Nuts!"

That's my reply to your rationale. Nuts!

Furthermore, I'm not "passing myself off as a Vietnam War veteran." I am a Vietnam War veteran -- and a proud one at that!

Have a nice day!

Talking Points – Military Corruption
The Philippine Senate is one of the proper channels to investigate the corruption charges against the military. The 64-dollar question is will the Senate deliver the goods in the quest for truth and justice?

Lawmakers need a great amount of courage and high passion and obsession for truth to uncover the left and right cases of massive corruption in the Armed Forces.

The existence of a mafia in the military is true. It is beyond reasonable doubt. Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago was right when she called the military a corrupt institution with the Chief of the AFP and the 11 deputy chiefs from J-1 to J-11 as his cohorts in the syndicate. But the President of the Philippines, being the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, represents the top leadership of the billion-peso syndicate in the AFP.

The creation of the AFP was in fact a product of betrayal and corruption. At the time when it was constituted, the AFP by character and orientation was compelled to serve at the pleasure of the US and the top honchos of US transnational monopolies and military syndicate in Washington, D.C.

So they are not only predators of the Filipino people, but guardians of US ecoomic, political and military interests in the Philippines.

The Senate investigation on the alleged first-rate crimes of corruption in the AFP was long overdue. However, this would help the Filipino people and the taxpayers know how mercenaries robbed their hard-earned pesos in broad daylight with the blessings of a corrupt puppet state and the bully in Washington, D.C.

Military officers like any top government officials are bureaucrat capitalists. Top military officials will use their positions to enrich themselves.

Corruption is the twin brother of fascism and both are systematically etched and played in the game of the generals.

This is my first time here and I was really surprised how jam-packed this site is.
Well, I can't blame and judge some contributors here who somehow learned to love their stepmother country and talks like someone who is newbie on a topic.
I have once browsed a message that says Mr. Corpus is an anti-American or something to that sort. Well, as far as I can tell, with exactly what the contributor says, "capitalist imperialist," when Mr. Corpus talks about "capitalist imperialist," he simply is referring to the capitalist imperialist not the average American. An average American belongs to the American masses, who are also exploited through more work, less pay, by these capitalist imperialist.
And being grateful to these capitalist imperialist simply because they have helped you in a way is so deprived as like thanking a man who gave you a dollar, which came from the 10 dollars he robbed from someone else, or worse he robbed from you unknowingly.
It is becoming evident that it is simply natural or traditional that people would support the thing that they really depend on, though it may seem contrary to the majority of the people.
