@AVRO Architect So you have some detailed experience with gangs?

the military has MANY mechanisms inplace to keep them from being changed

You know they have gang members in the US military?

no I have detailed experience with the military

How about you tell us why you think they're both gangs

I've already given my reasons

the criminal problem is something they have to deal with, the US military doesn't exactly have the highest moral standards in the world ( barring the marines, those SOBs are nuts)

@AVRO Architect I know about the unvillingless of the military to change. I know quite a few ex and current military people, mainly US byt the way

The military is a fundamentally different operation

Neither do gangs, so what?

You might as well say the police force are gangs

You'd be closer then saying the military is

@Whats gay anymore agreed fundamentally different operation, culture, rule set, mind set, and is often misunderstood

Yeah I can't see a single connection to a gang

I've seen police forces that are more gang like than the military

Exactly

If you wanted a good analogy go with the cops

is this the definition of fundamentally uou use?:
Fundamentalism usually has a religious connotation that indicates unwavering attachment to a set of irreducible beliefs.

No it's not

besides you can't prove a negative

fundamentalism is different from fundamental

base principles, first principles are a better term for it

@Whats gay anymore Ok, please define fundamental

I know you have google

I'm not here to define things for you

When you can't even argue your point

I don't use google by the way

Ask jeeves for kids then

I am not familar with the definition of 'fundamental' that you use, please enlighten me

"the protection of fundamental human rights"
▪

1.

And now you know

+1 learning

@AVRO Architect I agree with you that the police is more gang-like than the military

My I get the source of that definition?

they can be, it's more the quality of the people that make up the force than the base structure or purpose

... now we gotta peer review our common definitions

its a cropped version from the Oxford dictionary

You're yet to tell us why they're the same by the way

i'd link it but the bot won't let me

You just keep claiming it

Nope you don't have to peer review your definitions, it is more for my part to get the exact meaning of words used
