We have a decently good idea how long it takes the body to process alcohol and fairly objective ways to measure how much is in your system, both to set an objective limit and asses your state if you're suspected of not following the rules. Can the same be said for marijuana?
We've given them some hellfires, some UAVs, some airplanes, and demonstrated some ways to use them. Hopefully they can figure out partnering with the local tribes to drive ISIS out. It's their fight now.
The use of airborne isr assets in AFG is an absolute abomination of the potential capabilities because the army controls it. That abortion should be evidence enough that the Air Force should remain its own arm. And while I'm at it, if centcom could go ahead and give us the ability to allocate our air assets again, that'd be great.
No, I just don't find the nebulous nature of your question interesting, so I answered within the context of what I did find interesting.
It seems it was too invasive and could be done more effectively by working within the limits of the constitution.
If the end result is that really, nothing had changed, then what was the point?
The constitution can be protected and defended without violating the protection of classified information.
Distracting from the fact that the disclosure is criminal by crying about how bad the NSA is.
What end result? Are you under the impression that the NSA has stopped or isn't figuring out a new way of doing the same thing?
That's a retarded argument. The penalties for speeding versus intentionally disclosing classified information clearly show they're not the same.
Whether or not the NSA was wrong doesn't make Snowden correct for doing so.
China is already cultivating a lot of it, and we're providing the relative security to allow it. Let them provide their own security. And since they're China and don't care about having thousands of people killed to gain some resources, they probably will.
Paying tuition for thousands of college kids and running dets across the country also costs too much money. If you're arguing money, then your argument better be OTS only.
