A Soldier On Obama

That might have been the origin of that rule - but todays intention
is to avoid splitting comrades into left- and right comrades. Something
the guy in the OP is doing pretty well.

In other Words: The Soldier in the OP is supposed to serve his country,
that's what he swore under oath. No matter what party leads, am I wrong?

Anyway: I still assume that he's reading the text he speaks. And if this
is the case, his words are meaningless by default.

While you most probably didn't serve yourself - the guy in that
video is strolling* with his eyes as if he's reading the text. Take
a look yourself. And watch it in Full-Screen mode if your resolution
sucks:

*Translation: Sein Blick wandert hin und her als würde er ablesen,
ich frag mich nur ob du anständig genug bist, dieses zu bestätigen
- ohne wieder vom gesagten abzuweichen.
 
I think he meant, how does this make his words meaningless?

Excuse me, but there are two things I have to ask:

- Why are you avoiding my question?
- Who are you translating.. your own text.. into.. German for?

Or could it be a matter of you sucking at English and easy comprehension?
Let me rephrase for the impaired:

Why are "his words [...] meaningless by default"?

Because a 7 year old child could read the text the soldier said.
It doesn't mean that these are his own words. Therefore it doesn't
matter what he said unless it's his own words.

You do understand such simple things, don't you?
 
No no no! Hold on. You said:

"I still assume that he's reading the text he speaks. And if this
is the case, his words are meaningless by default."

There's nothing about "It doesn't mean that these are his own words. Therefore it doesn't matter what he said unless it's his own words."

Oh don't worry about me, worry about yourself instead.

Ehm, it's the same thing. If it isn't his own opinion, the whole
Video is meaningless.

What exactly don't you understand? :confused:

Well, just ask. Your point is that the video is valid, even if a 7 year
old with an uniform would read the text [...someone else gave him], right? :rolleyes:
 
Don't you JAQ off now young man!
But no, that's not my point. Try putting your blinding logic to use.

Actually BeAChooser, the subtle differences between the political parties here in Denmark, are not visible from waay over there in America. I am sure you will view all political parties in the Danish parliament as 'socialist'.

As for the video in the OP, it appears to be perfectly suited for propagandist purposes, appealing to emotion rather than reason. Clearly not suited for the skeptic mind..

How about if you explain how you know those aren't his own words. You have precisely ZERO evidence those are or are not his own words. Frankly, without that, your argument is meaningless, and is reduced to a miserable slur.

OH CRAP! I just relied on someone else's words! Even though my opinion entirely corresponds with Thomas Jefferson's, that must mean that the words meant nothing! No!

Why, yes! By default even!

Ike was the one who, against FDR's wishes. did not take Berlin, and stopped the Allied advance at the Elbe. The West payed for that decision for the next 45 years.

MacArthur was a true combat veteran and military strategist. His plan captured the entire Korean Peninsula from the North.

Gorbie wanted to make peace with the U.S.? You mean when Reagan told him to tear down the Berlin Wall and he did just that 2 years later.

McCarthur was to a military strategist as McDonalds is to a high class restaurant. If he'd had his way, New Guinea would have fallen to the Japanese.
