I wrote up a whole commentary, but.... technically I can't say gak. So I won't.

Suffice to say. I'd rather do boot camp again (three months) then have to redo SERE in December in Northern Maine. (two frozen horrible weeks)

Yep.

Yeah... the major difference is that they know it's a simulation, whereas the captive don't.

They're quite good at making sure that notion provides no comfort at all.

Ummm, I think we can do more than hope. We can put laws and accountability in place to make sure it the behaviours we find acceptable happen.

You know the old saying, hope in one hand and crap in the other. See which hand has more in it when you are done.

I don't put much faith in hope. I put more faith in the Rule of Law.


Yeah, that was really said. I agree completely.

So... you saying EIT broke US laws?


No, saying there needs to be good and effective law in place to control it, and any other kind of national security thing (like drone strikes).

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
