half of democrats and most republicans passed this in the house
that plus the senate and now the president... they want this passed, not just obama, most of your elected representatives. bashing just obama is political bickering and should be frowned upon.
that's my point, yours was about how small minded i apparently am. learn how to argue properly instead of using insults and mellow drama.

Oh now that's just being "Melodramatic" (that's the word ), there will be no civil war because 90% of american's just don't give a damn unless it's their life at stake. It's only the lives of brown people (or "patriot americans"), what do they care?

I'm sure there will be those die hard members of the military who will follow orders no questions asked. No matter what is asked of them.
But do we really have to fear that members of our armed forces, some our own family members, will actually detain anyone on no grounds other than a superior telling them to do it? Really? There is nothing to fear.
I haven't lost that much faith in humanity. In the end I'm sure this will do more harm than good for TPTB. When people start to realize those in power do not have our best interests at heart, then its gonna get good.
Just remember to not fear it. It won't change the outcome regardless. Just chalk it up to a "WTF are they thinking" moment.

Ok please point out the people beyond OWS and the Tea Party who take to the streets? No one else does. Everyone else goes to work, goes home and watches TV. I doubt most people even know what the NDAA is let alone worry about it.
Don't get ATS insulation syndrome. Most people don't share our opinions nor do they even hear them.

If you really are arming you shouldn't be talking about it on ATS.
And you should have fixed your thread title. Two retired generals do not speak for the entire marine corps or military.

General Krulak is a close family friend of mine and he and my father served in Washington D.C together while he was the Commandant of the Marine Corp. He is an absolutely amazing man with a mind for military, politics and business. I have recently begun attending Birmingham-Southern College in Birmingham, Alabama where he just-so-happens to be the new President of the school.
If a man like that is writing against NDAA, the American public should take note. He is one the most patriotic, educated and politically unbiased men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Everyone should push for NDAA to be eliminated for good.
