I have a serious question... Mayor Pete

I’m assuming, based on your earlier posts in this thread, that you believe Pete B. to be a “closet Marxist.”

So, is this assumption correct or not?
Yes or no.

Not according to what I originally said and re-quoted for you a couple of comments back.

Electronics, computers. He's talked quite a bit about ROV's.

If he wants to learn how to repair as well as operate computers there are several Navy ratings to choose from;
AT - Aviation Electronics Technician (mostly shore based, but do deploy as part of Air Wings). Install, trouble shoot, repair technical avionics.
CTM - Crypto Tech Maintenance (maintenance refers to maintaining/repairing electronics, CT’s carry the highest security clearances, a bonus to future potential employers)
ET (nuclear) - Electronics Technicians trouble shoot and repair electronics in onboard nuclear propulsion systems. Toughest academic program in the Navy (no ****), quickest advancements in rank, extra “special pay”, states with nuclear power plants snatch these guys up when they get
for excellent pay/benefits.
ET (non-nuclear) - Electronics Technicians trouble shoot and repair various electronics systems found mostly in a ship’s CIC (Combat Information Center). Like “nukes”, they have numerous highly (read valuable) technical follow on courses.
EW - Electronics Warfare Specialists operate, trouble shoot/repair most of their own equipment used in collecting data from enemy forces. Several highly technical follow in schools.
FC - Fire Controlmen, operate, trouble shoot, and repair electronic systems related to various weapons systems.
ST - Sonar Technicians operate, trouble shoot, and repair sonar equipment and underwater fire control systems.

The Marines, as part of DON, attend Navy schools for virtually all electronics training, so, in that respect there is no advantage over the Navy.

Hopefully the above gives you/your son a little more insight to aid if he decides to Go Navy. If I can help with any other questions or concerns, feel free to holler. :cheers:

You’re not allowed to spout bull crap and then say, “prove me wrong.” That’s not debate.

Either show the part of the document that proves what you said or we will all know you’re full of it.

Then we obviously would have to agree that Pete B is not a closet Marxist. There’s no third option.

Would we? That would be pretty definitive. How would you know that? Would you need to know more?

One day, maybe, these right-wingers will figure out that being an idiot isn't productive. You won't get an answer from them because they don't have the capacity for rational and analytical thought; they simply react, like Pavlov's dogs salivating when the bell rings.

Actually, if you say I'm wrong, it's up to you to prove it. Pluasible deniability isn't debate.

Show us where they are included. You made the claim, you prove it.

The New Green Deal casts nothing in stone. It is an impetus bill, something to use as a starting point for legislation that will help stop AGW. We must start somewhere, but the right wing media sources where science denial is a common theme are getting paid by big oil to demonize the New Green Deal, hence your unfounded accusations of communism.

You know better. If you claim a thing, the burden of proof is on you.

Of course, I do realize that backing up your hate-filled claims is not something you never do. All we get is beligerance.

Claiming that I'm wrong puts the onus on you to support that claim.

The fact is, in this case, you can't.

Not in debate, it doesn’t. Ever heard of ‘presumption?’

In a trial, the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. In a debate, a new argument is presumed false until proven true by the person who made it.

Are you arguing that I'm wrong?

More backpedalling from you.

People have been asking you to prove your claims here about communism. You have done nothing but backpedal since the first request for proof. Epic fail on your part. Either you can prove your claims, or you can't.
