You'd be surprised by the breadth of social classifications which scare the US Army. We still use "Fag" as a generalized insult. TIME WARP, BABY!

yeah, I have to admit, I grew up in Kansas and went straight into the military after high school. It has taken a long time to recognize and undo the damaged values they instill you with.

All that duty, honor, country stuff?

Keep working at recognizing the damage. They say admitting you have a problem is the first step.

They're not like us. So, you know we should be scared of and hate them.

"Terrorists could theoretically use ..."

What couldn't terrorists theoretically use? The next successful attack will use things they didn't think of. It's not like we had thought of crashing planes into skyscrapers. Oh wait, we did.

This sort of "intel" is an utter waste. The signal to noise ratio sucks so bad it just gets ignored. Military and our leaders need actual information on what the opposition is doing, not theoretics.

This is just security theater meant for internal military consumption.

Well, there's a plant in Japan that's apparently blogging. And the Swiss have recognized some set of plant rights. By that measure, vegetarians might be no better than murderers. In fact, their relentless focus on the exploitation of flora might even be viewed as a form of terrorism.

Vegetarians or vegetation?

heh, I also liked how the tacitly link 'human rights groups' to 'anarchists'.

Religious communities and atheists. Thou shalt be religious by yourself, otherwise: TERRORISTNAZIONTWITTER!!!
