Poor Timing

By lex, on January 7th, 2010

A disaffected sojer made a violent rap song – are there any other kind? – fantasizing about shooting up his chain of command.

He did so about a month after Major Nidal Hasan shot up an Army post.  He’s now incarcerated.

The Army can learn.

    Interesting military career choice.
    Mebbe a Big Chicken Dinner and a follow-on career in the music industry in the works.

    It would seem from the article that Mr. Klimaski is ready and willing (not to sure about the ‘able’ part) to jump to SPC Hall’s defense, just as soon “Iraqi Veterans Against The War” can deliver the money.

    I would very much like to place a 9mm hole squarely in Mr. Klimaski’s forehead.

    Of course, using Mr. Klimaski’s logic as stated in the linked article, the sentence above could in no way be construed as a threat to his personal safety because (i.) I’m not in Washington, D.C. (as I type this), (ii.) I don’t have a firearm in my hands (as I type this), and (iii.) I have (tongue in cheek, of course)clearly advertised my intentions.

    Just kidding, of course, about the hole placement. I don’t believe we actually need Mr. Klimaski, with the tremendous psychology/psychiatry background he obviously has, to define ‘threat’ for us. Oh , wait, I see a B.S. from Spring Hill College and a J.D. from Antioch School of Law. Sorry. Thirty-three years in practice, Mr. Klimaski? C’mon, you can do better than the drivel you’ve been spouting.

    It is to laugh (or weep, depending how you view this type nonsense).

      I would very much like to place a 9mm hole squarely in Mr. Klimaski’s forehead. According to Esq. Klimaski, as long as “if” is in your sentence, you’ve made no threat. Can we imagine what he’d think if you walked up to him and said face to face, “If you get the money, I would very much like to place a 9mm hole squarely in your forehead”? Attorneys are such reasonable people, what could go wrong?

        Sorry, I really don’t mean to drag this on too long, but another quotable from Mr. Klimaski, Esq. -

        “Here’s someone who’s put it into a song and sent it out to everybody, everybody knows it, so it really was political speech. I mean, it’s hyperbole, it’s not real. Nobody can expect that,” said Klimaski.

        From http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0110/693826.html

        OK then. I’ll stop now.

    Wow if they arrested all the disaffected soldiers we would be down to mostly officers I would bet. The common soldier has bitched and complained for millennia. This is nothing new, just a new way to deliver it.

      Really, Matt, you bitched and complained about officers saying you’d line them up against a wall and empty your magazine into them? Coming up to them all peaceful like? You’re right, that wouldn’t be new. Sounds like an offense against good order and discipline to me.

        Can’t speak for Matt, but I think my exact words were “I want to shoot everyone in that *&%%^$ office in the &^%$ing face”. We all laughed at “Haji Girl” (well I did anyway), but we can’t allow the same thought process to be used against the chain of command that probably causes more harm to this soldier than any enemy?

        That being said, I do support putting this guy in prison, simply for being too stupid to realize that right now isn’t the best time to publicize your desire, however justified, to shoot Army officers.

          DirtyBlueshirt said it better than I did. I am not opposed to setting an example out of this guy but really, are they going to start cracking down on everyone who complains or is disaffected? Good luck with that. The ground humpers especialy.

    I’m inclined to agree that the Army, or whomever, doesn’t need guys like that. This guy clearly doesn’t understand the oath he took.

    However, the policy, though hopefully well intentioned and definitely needed, seems pretty suspect in my view. Too much is asked of the Army, and it seems like a self-propagating cycle of 1-term enlistments and poor recruiting tactics to make up for it.

    That being said, it’s no excuse for his threats.

    Klimaski rapped, he gonna get his due.
    Courts-martial comin’ man I pity da fool.
    He thinks he’s kewl, but he ain’t no winner.
    All he’s gonna get now is a Big Chicken Dinner.
    Yea, rap be music, but you tellin’ me,
    that dis white boy raps an’ his name is ‘Ski?
    His lyrics suck and jus’ ain’t hot
    He be a white-boy version of Jennifer Scott.

    Peace out, bro.

    Greetings:

    1) Gee, I thought that the “volunteer” military had precluded this kind of thing from happening. Next thing
    you know I’ll be reading that there are still brigs and stockades.

    2) Write me when they do it to a Muslim or a Major.

    Another Klimaski gem:

    “Listen to rap songs,” Klimaski said. “I mean there are a whole bunch of rap songs talking about killing people all the time. Nobody gets killed from them.”
