Adam Kokesh Speech [Video]

It was a great Speech.
A man after my own heart... nah just kidding, i like the ladies too much. But damn, he did a great job. 2nd greatest speech I have ever heard
 
Before I get behind this guy I would like to know his answer to why he was demoted for trying to steal an Iraqi pistol out of Iraq. Without a good explaination I wonder why he was trying to take something that was sieized by force of the US miltary for his own personal gain? Taking contraband out of the country is something that is highly illegal for military personal to do as it encourages criminal minded soldiers to seize property of foreign civilians.
I dont want to be following a guy that might be just POd at the marines for demoting him and out of anger wants to start a violent revolution in this country.

In the old days the spoils of war was quite common. Now it is highly illegal for the reason I stated.
And if you think that the war is horribly wrong and unjust to the Iraqi people why are you taking a weapon that was seized by that war? Is wrong for the government to fight the war yet OK for the veterans to loot the country?

So the next GI or Marine may think it is ok to take that melon knife or pistol from the dirty iraqi's civilian. It is flat out ilegal and all military personal are briefed over and over and over about not taking Iraqi property.
So where did he get this pistol. They aren't just laying around unless the original holder was disposed of?
 
who said civilian? If someone was firing a pistol at me and now they are dead, I see nothing "morally" wrong with taking that pistol home. Against the rules, and if caught you pay the price.
The way I see it.

But, I don't know what happened either. If you find out, let us know.

Sorry but for me if the war is wrong it is wrong to profit from it, especially if you want to come back home and make a career of being anti war. Any time anyone hints at bringing war to this country my ears go back. War is insanity and should never be fought until every last other option has been exhausted. To even be mentioning the blood of Americans at this point is insane.
 
Wanna bet there are a few of these to be found in Amerícan homes?

Not that big a deal if you ask me. Military souvenirs have been brought home from every war throughout history.
 
who cares about a pistol?? For all we know he bought it from a kid or shop.

Just another STUPID regulation (and we're swimming in thousands of them).

I'm laughing about the notion that anyone is worried about GI's trying to "profit" from being over there.....

What the hell are they doing there in the first place (it's ALL ABOUT PROFIT).

I heard the pistol was his personal property and that he had purchased it from an Iraqi.
 
The government makes taking of foreign weapons home illegal because they cant register them.... that's the only reason

If you can show proof of this I would definately feel better for then it would be free trade that got caught in conflict with AR's. If it is otherwise it is pure hyprocrasy to steal property from a nation you susposedly feel was wrongly invaded.

Considering that over ten billion dollars is missing in Iraq from the American Treasury
looks like many people got away with taking money.

Does this make it right? Some people seem to think it would be ok to rape and pillage as long as you come back home and join an anti war movement.
