fred, you’ll need more than oiled bags and tarps under a lot of dirt to conceal your arms cache from airborne magnetic anomaly detection.

Your diahrrea of the keyboard on subjects of insurrection, military support for anti-Obama coups and assorted other topics best kept within your 3-man Leaderless Resistance Cell is being monitored. You’re beginning to sound like the FBI agent provacateur at the militia meeting.

And fred, nobody is going to mutiny on your account.

“The fact that even though the military is generally held in high regard by the bulk of the population, the people closer to the fringes believe we’re mindless automatons ready to trample the Constitution at the drop of a Presidential hat. Those who defend us when we’re off fighting under a Republican President weren’t always so sure of us when we were sent off to fight under a Democrat President, and vice versa. Those who would shoot us for disobeying an order of “their President” now and again encourage us to disobey the orders of “the other guy’s President,” and seemingly can reconcile the dichotomy without their heads exploding. Apparently, we in the Services are capable of making these vast cultural reversals the day of the Inauguration. Mind you, the Left is probably more consistent in their mistrust than the Right, but it’s still there, and it’s still bemusing. Of course, the Left is more likely to view us as simple mercenaries, who will do anything for pay, so it’s probably easier for them to reconcile the difference.

But it really isn’t the kind of politics as practiced by the politicians and the parties. But when you live and breathe politics, I guess it’s hard to understand that.” — John Donovan
