• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Now does everyone understand why the "right to refuse illegal orders" video was made?

Why are you trying to discuss these things if you have no idea what anyone is talking about without them spoon feeding it to you?

Like... Do you guys watch\read the news or go anywhere on the internet other than these forums? Why are you trying to discuss these things if you have no idea what anyone is talking about without them spoon feeding it to you? You're at least the third poster I've seen ask for "proof" or evidence of things that have been clearly confirmed to be true and all over media.
Nope. I live in a chocolate factory.

Fog of... something.
From the link:

'Hegseth said he did not see any survivors in the water, saying the vessel “exploded in fire, smoke, you can’t see anything. ... This is called the fog of war.”

The man is an idiot.

Makes them easier to throw under the bus when Trump is through with them.

Yes he is an idiot. And he is emblematic of this whole admin. They claim the US is in war against Narco terrorists. There was one strike where they didn't manage to kill everyone on board. They scooped up the survivors. Did they send them to Gitmo? Because you know that's what becomes of enemy combatants. No, they didn't. They released them back home. Why did they do that? I am not a lawyer, but it seems those in Gitmo are afforded lawyers. I kind of think they didn't want those who survived accessible to divulge who they actually were, or weren't.
