The Wisdom of Command:
Quote from Command: “who do you think I am”
My answer after reflecting for 2 days after this incident-
“I think that you are the GOD of all that your survey, setting your own standards
of conduct while “officially” prohibiting others from the same reckless actions as yours.”
In other words, yet another political cowboy hotshot in adminstrative heaven, who thinks
that everyone is subject to your GOD like impulses. A pompous, self deceived over stressed
cowboy who thinks he is 20 years old in the battlefield without oversight of any kind or
having the ability to cover any conduct in layers of adminstrative jargon including the violation
of the civil rights of a civilian, a single individual who triggered your concluding actions with a
single smile. How would you have advised your subordinates in this matter? What punishment would be given?
>Well, no less than some “commander” or is that “commando”……….
He decided that he had found an idiot on Broadway and then proceeded
to pursue a civilian known as R.K.J. to a public place, a very public, and
seemingly safe place for the civilian (with a public phone) but the “commando”
decided that pursuit and execution of the insurgent was paramount and
foolishly became part of video and audio of his unrelenting pursuit
further into the civilian wilderness not far from my home and then blocking
an intersection with his spotless white hunter vehicle to obstruct the path of
travel of the renegade taliban.
He then engaged the possibly “armed and dangerous” civilian providing a true
“mind reading” of the civilian and conducted an interrogation and again was
captured by accident on the cheap inoperative cellphone.
Allowing the civilian to live and to crawl away, the “commando” then
proceeded to invade the privacy of the civilian by looking up his address,
a clear violation of federal law? and made his appearance
outside the civilians door (within 4
minutes of the “obstruction”) and pointed to me out the drivers side
window of his commando truck. I thought
he might be pointing a gun but I was too stupid to duck having
seen many lesser hunters in the past at my single owner home on Broadway.
He then some 4 minutes later makes another pass of my front door
after having been apparently “advised” by his daily civilian Gitmo
street patrols that he had just chased and violated the civil rights of the
artist known as an American. I was still there standing at attention
understanding that now I was in his Army and not in my country.
His face perhaps white with apprehension and terror of his outrageous conduct,
or the fact that he had allowed the “crazy” taliban to live and make it back to his cave.
A legal civilian.
Hello State depatment: goodbye invisable ink of Commandos.
r.k.j. 2008 fact not fiction… 24 hours a day.
