since our supreme court has declared that owning firearms for self defense at home is a human right (not a US right)... wouldnt that mean that it should apply all over the world? at least in the eyes of the US military?

In the states it would be no question. Not just no, hell no. Here it's a moral dilemma. A huge part of the "Tribal Awakening" was facilitated because the people HAD guns. I still haven't really figured out how someone would go about getting a new gun, as there are no gun stores... But everyone around here damn sure has an old one.

It's quite clear, in the opinion of the FF, that the right to defend yourself was a right, inherent to all men... Unfortunately, that hasn't been part of our foreign policy for quite some time... hell, we have diplomatic relations w. nations like Saudi Arabia, who's gov't officials throw girls into fires for not wearing their veils...
