    That's probably true -- politicians, for the most part -- just make $hit up as they go.

    I wasn't really aware that "inner-city" was code for "ghetto" but now that you told me -- I'll keep it in mind. I don't like saying "hood" because it sounds derogatory. And, I don't like separating the violence based on race, because it has a lot more to do with poverty than it does race.

    What should I say?

    And -- I'd like to see the evidence backing your claim that the military currently supplies firearms to gangs. I think that's just a bunch of hooey.

    Trump Says 'Places Like Afghanistan Are Safer' Than U.S. Inner Cities

    http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016...cities-n651651

    KENANSVILLE, N.C — Donald Trump on Tuesday escalated his rhetoric on the state of America's minority communities, telling a crowd that "places like Afghanistan are safer than some of our inner cities."

    "We're going to rebuild our inner cities because our African-American communities are absolutely in the worst shape that they've ever been in before. Ever, ever, ever," Trump assessed.

    "You take a look at the inner cities, you get no education, you get no jobs, you get shot walking down the street."

    Trump is right. The same thing was true at the height of the Iraq conflict. Several American cities death tolls surpassed the battlefield deaths of our troops.

    Which brings up an interesting point -- if parents of gangbangers were to insist that their children enlist in the military and be stationed in Afghanistan -- perhaps those young men would not only be alive to talk about their adventures, but also come back more disciplined and ready to be contributing members of society.

    I wonder if it would be constitutional for a judge to sentence someone who was involved in gang violence to a stint in the Army? A sentence like that just might save the lives of some young men -- and future victims.
    The army isn't taking court directed recruits these days. If another big war starts it might well start up again.

    The difference is in the quality of the people killed

    the combat soldiers in afghanistan or iraq represent the best that America has.

    Dead gangbangers in the hood do not

    It is difficult to come up with more than a very small number of times I have been wrong. Why do you ask?

    The military is not supplying gangs with weapons and equipment. So why do you make stuff up?
