Law Professor: "Shameful to support men and women who have gone overseas to kill other human beings."

I have a job for this professor, scub out my septic with a toothbrush and then lick it dry
Semper Fi

Suffolk U's mission statement includes support for, and recognizes growing importance of, global citizenship. The school says Avery has a right to state his opinion. However, like most left wing college administrations and American apologists, I bet they would not defend his right to express his opnion if it did not parallel their liberal left wing agenda.

Dear Mr Not so Educated. It seems that you have not given your comment much thought,as most people do. If you were in another country, you would probably have been arrested and tossed into some dark hole> As a old Vet I fought to give all the people who disagree with how the government does some things that very freedom. But like you they just blurt out something hateful and very disturbing to our way of life. It seem's that people like yourself have been around since time began. Just remember that if we had not stepped up to the plate we all would now be speaking German, or have you forgotten like a lot of people have. Just remember if our young men and women do not step up to the plate now; then you will have a 9-11 magnified by 1000. Do not think for one moment that things will get better and go away ? No if they win they will gain thousands of new minds to warp and then as they say, all $%&& will break out right in our country and many others. So go ahead say what you think; but think before you say; because you can make a fool out of your self real easy. My G ramp's who was a very bright man said( once the words have left your mouth you can never take them back.)

As I retired Soldier of almost 20 years, I think I'm upset that a US College would hire such a person to teach it's students Law. I did a little college work while in the service and was proud that I got to attend a few classes between work, field duty, overseas deployments, and special assignments and military schools, I was in Armament Maintenance. I guess I could have gotten out, went to work for a Govt. Contractor and made a lot more money, I know my wife and kids would have been better off, but I stayed the course. I try to read most of the articles put by the Legion, DAV, VFW, and other pro military magazines. I 'm damn proud of what I did ad if possible, I would not change much.
NOW I read about a so-called Law Professor( Micheal Avery) of Suffolk Law College talking such trash about our troops, he is so lucky that I beleive in the law of this great country or I would just have to go see him and convince him of his wrong doings. This guy is injecting poison into out next group of young people, God knows what we can expect in the next 20 years. GOD BLESS AMERICA

To this person, that is held in high regard by his station, just say thank you to all those men and women giving you the freedom and right to think the way you do, just sa "Thank You".

For 26 years I served in the U.S. Navy under a vow to up hold the Constitution of the United States of America. Under Amendment 1, Professor Avery is given the right of freedom of speech which I will continue to defend. I have friends that are pacifists who can not support killing but they support those who serve in the military even though they have moral issues with the wars they fight. All i can say of Professor Avery is there is a difference even if his learned mind can not comprehend it.

I am reluctant to believe anything "reported" by GOP TV (Fox). Any other sources for this "shameful" commnet?

He also has the right to behave like a dumb ass which he has these men and woman joined the service of thier own free will just like i did in 79" they knew what they were geting into same as i did maybe one day when he gets his head out of his fouth point of contact he will under stand these are free gifts given out of respect to them.

dude leave this great country where men and women fought for your freedom. your a ASS.

you are about f ing stuip my husband servbed

and would go back in a heartbeat anything for our country

As a veteran, I agree, this professor has a right to speak his mind. He must
realize that the university also must respect the right of others in that institution.
They do have the right to speak what they believe, to raise money for troops
if they decide, to send care package to service men and women should they
choose. He does not have a right to force his opinion on anyone who won't
hear him. But I guess that is why he's an American law professor. If ever a man
was deceived by law he ate the cake. You can almost hear him choking on it.

I agree with the professor and am saddened that he has been fired for telling the truth. Soldiers have done NOTHING to preserve our freedom of speech. If anything they have helped to suppress it even further.

Examples to support? Look at our policies in LATIN AMERICA, and the mid east especially. It has been the military both in policy and the men and women in uniform that have CARRIED OUT that policy in really killing and murdering others. If they are not killing and murdering others themselves, you have to be real and not ignore that then they are training other nations on how to kill and murder their own people.

If that is not enough, our military also provides intel and technology or the equiptment to further the killing and murder. Look at PLAN Colombia and the 'War on drugs' or continue following whats going on in Afghanistan. We are fools to pretend the armed services is a neutral player in the game that 'protects our freedom'.

What did those men and women do when the Patriot act came? NOTHING. What did they do when our nation put the Japanese Americans in internment camps? THEY HELPED PUT THEM IN CAMPS! Otherwise they did nothing to protect liberty there. Did they spread freedom by training more killers at the School of Americas? Now its called WHINESEC...

Look at our spending and budgets and you will see that our nations priorities have been subverted by 'National Defense' and national security. Our society has been harmed and deprived by the military because of obsenssive spending. This means sucking our economy and schools dry while sending our kids to go die off overseas or live their lives with traumas that will never be dealt with.
Protectors of our liberty. Please, dont be fooled by this idiotic propaganda.

There is a reason most of the world does not like our nation, because of our government and because of the violence our military does itself or with the other militaries of the world. There is a reason why some have trouble separating policy from the soldiers...at some point you have to hold people accountable for the decisions they make, like joining the military when it is killing our society and everyone else.

This is not only about free speech but about reality.

I forgot to add, soldiers at the end of the day join because of the paycheck, benefits, and 'career opportunities'. Furthermore there is a sort of 'hero' social status that goes with it that most of the ignorant people in society buy into. There also are the travel opportunities and when it comes to actual combat...the fight has NOTHING to do about country and everything about saving ones own self or that of their peers.

Once again, enough of this hero talk and protectors of freedom and liberty nonsense. They real protectors are actually doing things to counter what totally corrupt practices are happening in this country. This military and its soldiers is not doing a damn thing for improving this country, until they quit and join they fight for handling the actual problems of this country.

I am sure then, that George Washington was a murderer.
Thomas Jefferson was a murderer.
Benjamin Franklin was a murderer too.
Betsy Ross was a murderer.
Alexander Hamilton must certainly have been a murderer,
James Madison a killer, a murderer and a fiend.
So, too, John Jay.
Dolly Madison, after shelving her "quaint Quaker" heritage,
certainly must fall into line with those consorting with murderers.
All of the fallen in Normandy on D Day - they were murderers murdered.
Roosevelt was a handicapped murderer in a wheelchair -
one could go on and on.
How many doctors today are merely murderers?
How many contemporary presidents are col-blooded murderers,
not the great people they pretend or are portrayed to be?
How many American women are wretched murderers?
College presidents? Professors? Law students? Business associates?
Ah, murderer, that's a very big word!
I guess, to the insulting, I, too, am a murderer,
having participated very willingly, three times, in the Vietnam War.
Small people should not let such a word fall easily from the lip.
That it is often only used for men and women in the military
is a true shame.

I am afraid that some people commenting here
cannot distinguish between a calamity and a misfortune.
It is a calamity that some people must die in war,
but it is a misfortune that so few people are willing to die with them.

As a retired U.S. Army veteran who is extremely proud of this country and the people who protect it, I can only say sometimes it's better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you're an idiot, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

What an A-hole. Its amazing how someone of his character can make such a statement.
Freedom does not come free. Someone had to pay the price just so he could make such a statement. Drop him off in Afghanistan. Let him live there for awhile.

Who do you think ensured you that right to say what you did. Obviously, you lack a basic understanding of what makes this country great. And something else, what makes you think soldiers getting care packages has anything to do with terrorists? They should be so lucky to receive them. We don't foster terrorism by our presence. What kind of people do you think were already there killing their own kind before we got there? You belong on Jackass TV. You are as bad as the media when it comes to making asinine statements. You need to walk in our boots before you say anything stupid.
