Ärende: Word From the Front
===========================

 RH>>> There are news stories from military hospitals that make the news here
 RH>>> on
 RH>>> a regular basis.  Normally they are presented as local interest and
 RH>>> shown
 RH>>> in the communities where those soldiers live.

 BF>> Ok.

This "Ok" was that I undrestood what you had written.

 RH> Actually it's not "Ok."  You've made many comments about the United States
 RH> and what happens here without knowing truths.  Again, that reflects your
 RH> socialist mentality regusrding this issue.

Yuo may think what you like but don't put words in my mouth that I haven't
said.

 BF>> What *are* the facts then besides that on the tape?

 RH> The "prisoner" wasn't a prisoner as far as that Marine knew.  There is a
 RH> protocol for identifying prisoners that wasn't followed BEFORE that Marine
 RH> entered the building.  Those insurgents were left, unguarded, by an
 RH> earlier unit that passed through and the Marines had still received fire
 RH> from enemy forces in the area.

Then the earlier unit is to blaim for not informing others that the room was
cleared
and that that they didn't follow the protocol.
And the fact that they have recieved fire from this area doesn't say it was
coming
from this particulary room. Another unit had cleared it or.....?

 RH> Reading a little about your country's history.  Until about 1974 your king
 RH> was the head of state with the powers to appoint the various ministers.

That's somehow right but not entierly.
1911 men got the right to vote and 1922 it was free even for wiman to vote.
The people decided whom they wanted to see as their leader and he did appoint
the ministers. Then the king could agree or disagree but the folks I have
talked
to have never heard of that he ever disagreed.
Where you got 1974 from I don't know.

When was it free to the *entire* public in USA to vote?

 RH> Since your king isn't an elected position, you didn't have a democracy.

Uhu?
So I live in a dictatorship? That was news!

 RH> Another error in your comments here is that your country's government
 RH> isn't older than the United States as you have claimed.  Your Constitution
 RH> only dates back to 1809, several years AFTER our Constitution.

Then it was written on paper.
People have lived here since 13,000 b.Ch.
How about USA?

 RH> Even now you have a king with some, no matter how little, powers.

He can't do a shit today, only speeding without getting a ticket.......
If I had something to say about it you could have him, free of charge, today.
He's one of the richest and still whining about he don't have enough, poor guy.

 RH> Again,
 RH> since the king isn't elected, you can't have a true democracy.  You and
 RH> your countymen still pay homage to a king, an unelected official.  You do
 RH> that with your tax dollars.  Hardly a democratic process.

We don't pay him dollars but you are totally right in the other matter and the
Royal House IS questioned here and as I said, you can have him.

 RH> Take some time to learn your OWN history and how your own country operates
 RH> before you try to tell me how mine works.  It's not all that hard to do.

I have just done that and made some gradings....
