Massachusetts law professor calls care packages for U.S. troops ‘shameful’

I served in OIFIII and we don't 'go over there to kill other human beings'. The US military doesn't decide for itself to go to war, the US government does (the military is just an instrument for war).

You wanna protest the war? Fine, go write your Congressman and President, but stop barking up the wrong tree, the soldiers/Marines didn't send themselves to war. They were asked by their country to do so.

Michael Avery, taste the other side before you open your mouth. You've literally shamed your university. Prick.

Another leftover hippie beatnik professor living in the protective cocoon of a liberal college institution living off grant money totally clueless. And these are the wackos we charge with educating our children. These are the most dangerous liberals on the planet.

The funny thing is, if war ever came to our soil in full-force, I bet he'd be all warm and welcome to our US military personnel.

Let's see: he knocks US troops, but he gives the very government that sent them there a pass? Isn't that backwards?

I wonder if this #$%$ would change his mind if the next terrorist attch wiped out his family, although it probably won't be a loss to society

I am not surprised. My granddad was a USGI, my Dad was a USGI, and I was a USGI. What little the three of us did as GI's across three wars in the greatest military in the world is miles above the value of the brain gastroenterological gas that escaped from his mouth.The most difficult thing this e**head does every day is decide what flavor coffee he wants for breakfast. How incredible! A document about 7,000 words long and this is the best that he can say? Let's be clear (as our POTUS is wont to say), no one has ever accused Academia of being relevant, especially Constitutional lawyers (do I see a trend here?). When other countries try to conquer your country, you go to your military to defend your country. Does this guy need to have someone teach him about the birds and the bees, too? There, that's my exercise of First Amendment Rights. I believe I did a better job than he did, and I have my freedom 235 years after the signing of the Constitution because of what the AMERICAN military has done, not because of what this Professor has done. He's the kind of person we had carry ammo when bullets started flying. Have a nice day, Professor.

No #$%$ dummass!!! Marines kill! thats their job! They're the best at iit! Damm proud to be one!!!

Michael Avery, a Suffolk University Law School professor who made headlines for an email to colleagues calling care packages for United States soldiers abroad “shameful,” attended the University of Moscow from 1968 through 1969, The Daily Caller has learned

Really? Let's drop him off in the tribal region of Pakistan wearing an "Uncle Sam" outfit and follow his progress by a drone while hiding a mic on his person. We'll see how he's appreciated and I'm sure his last though may be something like "I wish a Marine was here to save me!"

Those Men and Women are dying so this #$%$ has the freedom to say those things....

Hey bozo, attack the war machine that sent them there. Not our soldiers.

That is a valid position, as the purpose of the military is indeed to be prepared to help kill people. However, I would tell Prof. Avery that:

1) Our soldiers in Iraq & Afghanistan are practicing counter-insurgency. A lot of this is not about seek-and-destroy but about using their armed presence to discourage insurgents (at least until the soldiers leave the area!).

2) It's not all about being ready to kill, either. Our military is also guarding people who do infrastructure and humanitarian work.

3) A connection with home reminds a soldier that there is an outside world that's not about war, and that (s)he should not behave in a way that the folks back home would find shameful. If you're only around soldiers & their culture, it's easier to forget the standards of normal society.

As much as i respect the fact that everyone has their own opinion, including this guy...i have my own: he's a dumba**

He must be a crack head!

What I don't get is that if we are sending men and woman into harms way to protect our liberty, why aen't we giving them what they need? Why do our men and women in unfiorm need to rely upon donations. Don't tell me its becasue of the budget deficit. Then we shold not be fighwing wars we canot afford.

i'm pretty sure that if this selfish pr!ck went to the desert during the holidays that he'd want a couple care packages as well. How DARE you try to take away from what the people of our armed forces are doing right now! Nearly one hundred of my dad's colleagues are overseas risking their lives everyday for people like you, and that's how you thank them?!?! By voting against care packages? Unbelievable!

And this guy teaches our kids....nice.....

This idiot should become a statistic !

So what do you expect from Messachusets?

Bozer said it all - this guy's a dweeb. He'll have to do some tall "rationalizing" to look himself in the mirror and not see an emasculated liberal pedantic twit - hidin' out in academia...

Why hasn't this pinhead served???And does he not realize that freedom is NOT FREE????? GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY. Not only are they there to serve & protect, but also let ignorant idiots like this one open his big mouth & insert both feet.
