Yup an isolated project from the cold war done by the CIA to civilians directly correlates to the normal brainwashing of the general military population.
For whoever asked yes that is a real shirt - LOL. Can't find the link for sale though.
C4mac - I'm just going to point out the inaccuracies as I hear them listening to the podcast. First, the UN did NOT destroy Iraq's WMD, they could never even properly verify that Iraq destroyed it. Second the US did not provide weapons to Iran for the purposes of fighting Iraq, we helped Iran until the Shah was overthrown in '79. I just realized there is no way I can keep up with the ignorance/lies/misinformation that is coming from Monson here, I was genuinely going to listen to the entire interview but I'm ten minutes deep and less than a third of what he has said is even true. The needle went off the scale of the laughable meter when he said "Iran hasn't threatened or attacked anyone besides Iraq". Look I agree with Stann that I'd rather see people who don't even like (forget about love) my country beat feet and move north or south, but in America you have the right to be an asshole. Monson really is just off his fucking rocker though. If he was a legit xenophobe then cool, whatever, I can get behind that. Sadly it just seems like he's an off his meds beatnik parroting every crazy code pink talking point.
AnthonyBrancato - I don't know about any brainwashing, but any fighter who goes 5-foot-9 and spends his entire career fighting at HW has no brain.
When you're 42 and 12 at that weight and beat some of the toughest guys in the sport you have the right to laugh in somebody's fucking face for suggesting they are the ones who are brainless.
You made a statement that every branch of the military brainwashes their employees. I'm simply asking you for examples and how you know this.
The government HAS funded programs for the CIA to Brainwash people. Anything else u have to say about the subject is just rhetorical crap. Brainwashing does exist and if it is first hand with anyone it's with those kids who (for the most part) are too stupid to do much else.
So your argument is brainwashing does exist (no shit) and it just has to be happening to those retards in the military. Ok I'm done here.
OK I think we can do without calling each other fags at this stage?
at some point those plastic ties surely have to become a liability. If they were chasing me I would take my shirt off and run through a junk yard or construction site. Both if possible.
Monson's political views read like the lyrics of some 16 yr old suburbab garage punk band thathates the system and whitey....Meanwhile they don't work and live off their parents...Later inlife they become yuppies and drive SUV's strung out on OPEC.
<blockquote>Jmunzies - Liophy- Well, i dont know about Brian Stann, but every military organization try as hard as possible to brainwash their soldiers. Thats by definition. Brainwashed soldiers are the best. Otherwise they could create problems. <br /><br />Brian Stann is exemplary UFC fighter, he is saying all the right things and doing the correct things. So i have no reason to believe he was any different in the army. <br /><br />Give me some examples of the brainwashing you KNOW is going on. If you mean how they teach you to listen to your superiors' lawful orders, well most companies would be guilty of "brainwashing" too.<br /><br />Some of you people are fucking idiots don't have a fucking clue about what goes on in the military, but you think you do because you watched a war movie and listened to a podcast.<br /><br />Marines/soldiers etc don't need to be put on a pedestal, but they shouldn't be stereotyped as stupid and brainwashed either. I spent 4 years as a grunt in the marines and I'm in my 3rd year in college. Let me tell you there are just as many dumbasses in college as there is in the marines. And you want to talk about "brainwashing", I get my professors political views shoved down my throat every day at school no matter what class I'm in.</blockquote><br /><br /><br />Yea, and do tell what political views are they??? And are they wrong or correct views. Or are they just views that don't fit into your ideology.
kill joy - I Sense some bias from Zippy..... that said, the current international practices of the military are criminal. And while brainwashed isn't maybe the right word I agree with Monson's stance of bringing the troops the fuck home.
What current international practices specificly are you speaking of?
specifically? you mean their last two illegal wars that caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands (if not over a million) of Iraqi and Afghan civilians (and US troops as well)? and a footnote to that, the billions of dollars the US government wasted to wage the wars overseas.
