Utopia Talk / Politics / Walter Reed Hospital on Lockdown

Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Nov 27 13:52:45 There is a Code White, active shooter on the campus. Patients are locked in their rooms.
Rugian Member	Tue Nov 27 13:55:29 Only someone who really hates veterans would pull this stunt. It's probably a 50/50 toss between RoB and Obama.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Nov 27 14:00:29 They have cleared Building 19 where the shooter was originally reported. But the hospital remains in lockdown.
Wrath of Orion Member	Tue Nov 27 14:02:03 Or Retard Rod. This is the kind of sick shit he would pull.

Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Nov 27 14:07:36 Fuck off, foreigner. You are indeed the sickest person this forum.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Nov 27 14:09:33 My last was for woo.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Nov 27 14:11:13 tw, hard yelling who or why. It may even be a false report. Time will tell.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Nov 27 14:12:20 *-telling
Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Nov 27 14:14:07 Crap. It was a drill.

tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Nov 27 14:23:24 emotional distress lawsuits!
Rugian Member	Tue Nov 27 14:25:29 Drills dont normally make national news...someone fucked up here.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Nov 27 14:36:40 I agree, but I would rather have a fuckup than the real thing.
Pillz Member	Tue Nov 27 17:27:53 THANKS OBAMA
Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Nov 27 18:58:09 Rugian, they said it was a Congressman that was locked in a room with a bunch of people. He called one of the news networks. That's all I got.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Nov 27 20:40:58 "The active shooter event aboard Naval Support Activity Bethesda today was the result of the improper use of a mass notification system by a tenant command aboard the installation. While preparing for an upcoming drill, the notification system was inadvertently enacted… …without containing the words "EXERCISE" or "DRILL." Individuals who saw the mass notification statement immediately notified NSA Bethesda security, where they responded accordingly and instituted an installation-wide active shooter response. … … On further investigation, they determined that the improper use of the system was the root cause and secured from the active-shooter response. " ~ US Navy tweets TLDR: basically another Hawaii / North Korea missile thing
hood Member	Tue Nov 27 21:31:56 So glad all of that money Trump has been dumping on the military has paid off.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Nov 27 22:12:01 Takes time to climb out of the bottom of the barrel where Obama left our military.
Rugian Member	Wed Nov 28 08:02:04 That's a rather funny-looking bottom of the barrel... http://en....ia/File%3ADefense_spending.png
Hot Rod Revved Up	Wed Nov 28 08:10:00 Just think where it would be if Hillary had won. Sorry, I was going by the soundbites.
jergul large member	Wed Nov 28 09:07:34 HR You seriously don't think its rediculous to with "defeat Nazis and Imperial Japan" levels of military spending (in dollars, not % of gdp).
Hot Rod Revved Up	Wed Nov 28 09:25:22 jergul, sorry, I'm not sure what you are saying.
Rugian Member	Wed Nov 28 09:39:29 Jergul, Inflation.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Wed Nov 28 09:42:14 Are those dollars adjusted for inflation?
Rugian Member	Wed Nov 28 09:43:49 Actually, I'm wrong. They are already adjusted. Mb
jergul large member	Wed Nov 28 09:50:45 Ruggy Details. So important. Still, a lot less of the total economy is going to the DoD (hence my comment on gdp). HR I am saying you are spending way too much on belligerency.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Wed Nov 28 10:15:39 Well, by the time you factor in the cost of modern weapons such as Billion Dollar submarines, aircraft carriers, Bombers, and even the superior gear that the dogface wears from better weapons that fire three rounds everytime they squeeze the trigger, flak vests, night vision for everyone, unit communication, and the sophisticated training for everyone from the foot soldier to the Navy Seals, then no. I don't think it is ridiculous. That is a reasonable cost for the military for the only Superpower on the planet. Oh, I forgot. R&D for the next family of modern weapons.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Wed Nov 28 10:18:22 Actually, we are not belligerent. We love peace and equal free trade more than any other country on the planet.
jergul large member	Wed Nov 28 10:21:04 Still not a super power. For that, you would need to be able to fight wars in multiple theaters at the same time. But you are certainly one of the bigger major powers, if not the biggest. You are belligerent. And are slapping down tariffs left, right and center.
jergul large member	Wed Nov 28 10:22:29 Do you think all options should be on the table as the basis for talks?
Hot Rod Revved Up	Wed Nov 28 10:34:24 jergul, certainly, but that does not necessarily mean they should be used.
