Having a serious libertarian bent, the thought of my participation in a Big Brother organization is laughable.  There are some evil folks out there, but CAP?  Please.

While the folks who see ninjas and lizard people behind every tree will never be our fans, it is a good reminder that our uniforms intimidate some people.  Professional conduct matters.

Funny thing about this is, a few years ago when the first X-Files movie came out, one of the characters/conspiracy theorists was going off about who was trying to take over the country in the event of a major catastrophe/UFO/Alien event, and he said it was FEMA. I laughed out loud in the theater, because it was around that time that some of our operational control was being chopped over to FEMA in the event of a major catastrophe. I was envisioning CAP as the enforcement arm of the "new government" and couldn't control myself. Nearly got thrown out of the theater.

Just read the article. Wow, clearly this person has some serious issues. I wonder if he had to take off his tinfoil hat when he went inside the store. Hitler Youth? That's a LOT extreme. Someone slip that boy some meds, quick!

Wow. Some people clearly have too much free time. I hope the author in the link never gets lost and needs to rely on our services!

Clearly, this SeeAyPee Cadet Youth thing started with His Dictatorship Obama wanting to brainwash the youth.

CAP Cadets = Hitler youth. Funny. :clap:

I needed a good laugh this morning!   

I love how people don't even bother to do any research, and just open their mouths instead.

And you can't post a reply to the article unless you sign up for an account. Oh the irony.

The cadets barred his escape and forced a pamphlet on him     That article is the rantings of a serious nut job.   As funny as it is to read its actually fairly disturbing.

Mr. Robinson, or 1st Lt Robinson, has posted a nice little reply in the comments at the bottom in case any of you missed it.

Excellent Job, LT!


:EDIT: He may be a Capt. now.

What I got out of it.

a) All things government are bad.
b) Cops are very bad.
c) Uniforms are bad.
d) Logical arguments are optional on this particular site.
e) Godwins's Law is not inforce on this particular site.

I know nothing about an organisation that has existed for 70 years.....now I am concerned.

I wonder if he has heard about the dangers of dihydromonoxide?

Did you know that all cancerous tumors contain DHMO?  Every. Single. One.

DHMO has been found in our lakes and rivers!

Totally agree.  Some of the comments talked about confronting the CAP members.  I can't imagine that going well with an unhinged person involved.

Had that happen before.  After he self rescued about a week after we started searching, his comment was "I wasnt lost"  No Thank You, no "Geeez, sorry for all that effort" etc etc.  He said several times that we flew right over him but that he was under no obligation to make himself knows, although he new he was several days past due.  What-a-ya-do?

Dylan, Berlin, Bay of Pigs Invasion...

The article said "an Air Force officer."

Most likely a CAP officer, nicht wahr?

Good cripes anyway...the Hitlerjugend?

[spacecommand]

CAP has big brother lolol, there was a couple of youtube videos where a commenter was saying CAP was secretly spying on folks when we fly around ha. 

You can seriously tell this guy has never stepped foot into a CAP meeting.
