should I thank him for his service or not?  


Is there a reason you shouldn't?


As a fellow Marine I would tell him to go jump in a flaming pool of penises but he'd probably enjoy that.





Was he a reservist?  I assume so.




I hope not.



He is

He was.

Circuit judge has ordered him released, finding no facts to support his detention

Judge also ruled that his rights were violated. Whoever arrested him and sought the TDO (presumably Chesterfield PD) is going to get spanked on this one.

It's pretty rare for a judge around here to not only say "release him," but to go beyond the immediate controversy and say "you also violated his rights." Does not bode well for the government agents involved in his detention.

That is pretty unusual anywhere.  Judges are generally pretty good at only commenting on the specific legal questions before them.

Hold on a minute....



So, now the government, without charges or warrants, can forcibly detain an American Citizen, a decorated marine to boot, in a mental institution....because he posts stuff on facebook? He was not arrested nor charged with any crime...just driven to the booby hatch!



And....nobody here has a problem with that?



How about the 'shrink' who threatened him with forced medication and brainwashing?



I don't subscribe to Raub's 'truther' shit, or share some of his political views....but I'll defend his right to say whatever he wants short of making direct threats against other individuals.



Apparently, the Black Panthers can publicly advocate killing white babies....and not be sent to a mental institution....but let a veteran quote some song lyrics on Facebook.....



One of the guidelines in the 1963 Communist Goals as entered into the Congressional Record reads: Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.



http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm



I'm happy that people were able to get him loose....but it begs the question as to how many others have disappeared into this type of clandestine internment. I hear that Virginia alone has over 20 thousand civil commitments each year....and there are comparable statutes on the books in many other states. It is happening across the country...and some veteran's groups are receiving numerous reports of this practice happening.



Nobody has a problem with people being forced into loony bins for saying something the Government doesn't like?



I never dreamed I'd live to see the US Government 'disappear' it's citizens. I thought that was the practice only in 3rd world central american shitholes. I guess I'm wrong.

The Marine dress is extremely sharp. I only wish my AF dress looked half as good.

Also to add to this whole conversation. When you join the military you no longer have a personal opinion. You represent America's past and future. With that said, MEPS is only the first stage of weeding out the bad eggs out of the military. Also, when an O-5 tells you to shut the up. You shut the up.

Who cares. Even if the guy was never in the military at all, he got railroaded. You guys are worrying about which ribbons he has and how good a Marine he may or may not have been, when the point is that a man just got imprisoned for doing nothing more than exercising his First Amendment rights.

Hey I'm not being condescending! I'm pointing something out. And decorations don't necessarily make someone an uberfuckin patriotic, good person. Plenty of shitbags have been decorated, so all in all the fact he has a NAM and a CAR has no fucking bearing on the present situation.

Well he did something right to get that NAM. Talking down on it (the NAM) degrades the acts of other Marines––not just this guy. Give credit where credit is due. Sometimes the award matched the rank and not the deed, and I think you know this. There are some officers out there getting bronze stars for less.

I'm not sure how I feel about this guy. He sounds pretty out there, but I met some Marines who hated GWB on equal footing and never seemed to get in any trouble for it.

Gen X are people born from mid-early 60's to maybe, 1980 or so.  We are all at least in our 30's with some of us in our mid-40's.  We followed the baby boomers and our parents were typically from the silent generation.

The definition of Generation X has changed so much it's hard to keep track - I agree I've definitely doesn't include anyone in their 20s, though.  For a while, it didn't include many who would now be in their /30s.  I can remember seeing the term in the '80s used to refer only to those born form the late '50s to the early '70s.  Opinions about what defines a generation seem to vary as the years go buy.  It's as if the increasing prominence of the '80s - in particular the events of the late '80s - have helped stretch the definition of the "X" generation to include everyone who experienced it while somewhat young, but old enough to understand.

I definitely wouldn't label anyone who really grew up after the end of the Cold War as part of "X."
