C.A.P. was founded in 1941, I don't give a damn what Hitler was doing, were not based on that model, we can't carry weapons, we cannot ARREST people, were not waging a "Holy War" if we have Cadets and Senior members that are Islamic and Jewish, and hell I know two who are from the former eastern Bloc, RUSSIANS, and one was even a member of SPETNAZ, know how much we hated them in Cold War? And if you want FURTHER PROOF, well just look at our current National Commander, Major General Amy Courter, not only is she a Women, she's a LESBIAN. Furthermore, we do 90% of the Search & rescue work for the Air Force, if a plane goes down, we are by far the cheapest organization to call upon to go and look for it, because we are made up of Volunteers who pay our own way to do this. TO DO THAT JOB, you need DISCIPLINE, you need to be able to FOLLOW ORDERS, and the structure of C.A.P., a CIVIL SERVICE organization, just like the BOY SCOUTS, was made in light of that fact. Our connection to the Air Force is a matter of history and funding, why are you even whining about that? What the hell is the POINT? Could we use more oversight? Perhaps, but your tangent about "oh we need to be apart of the civilian militia" is completely asinine, dear God, GET OFF SEMANTICS! Our members do not exist in some "flux" of the law, if we do something wrong, we ARE held accountable, I've PERSONALLY witnessed that happen. The fact you've gone to the trouble to point out the few exceptions as you see it, no doubt colored by what facts you didn't share, proves nothing, and do not reflect on the organization as whole. Your on a witch hunt, paranoid, it's people like you whom give those who try to do good a hard time, all because you can't understand why and think there most be some other "ulterior" motive. police Article |
