[PRCo] Re: Coatesville Arson

[Schneider Fred]

They arrested a second goon today for doing the same thing in Chester  
County.

The sad thing is that one of these characters killed an 80+ year old  
lady in one of the fires but I guess they will call it manslaughter  
because he wasn't trying to kill, only to burn down a home.

I think we need the draft restored.   After you have been in the army  
doing senseless busy work (digging a hole, then filling it, then  
digging it again and saying yes sir, be to happy to sir every time  
your told to) you are really happy just to have a normal life afterward.

I don't like war.   The insanity of it appalls me.   But there is  
nothing better than military discipline to make a kid grow up.    And  
I'm thinking of the this man's army, not the new polite army.     
Right John?   I don't have any time for this new army that discharges  
people for the good of the army.    I rather liked my army that  
locked up first for disobeying rules, then discharged you.   The  
example made sure a few thousand others didn't step out of line.
