*****January 6th committee public hearings thread*****UPDATE: Transcripts released

If you want to paint 18M vets with that brush because of 172 dipshits have at it....
Hell, we both know what he really wants to do: tie half of the country to it. Statistically over represented according to his stupid linear line of thinking. How much do you want to bet veterans are about 3X more likely to be republican than democrat?

Yet you still come and show your ignorance.
Someone needs to burst the bubbles 🤷‍♂️
Dems are complete failures and the only reason we’re still talking about this shit 2 years later is they suck at governing and are worthless decision makers.

You seem to be in denial here.

If there were NO correlation between military service and 1/6 rioters, then you would EXPECT the representative fraction of those charged to be.......WAIT FOR IT......"about 7%"

It is ~3x that number. Which should really concern you.

Perhaps turning off Fox networks on military bases should be "a thing" nowadays.
 
Oh boy, more nc accusations. Are you also a whiny little dweeb with nothing to offer the world like the rest of the victims?

Ok Joe….now do violent crime or murder rates by racial demographics….

Probably won’t be the results you’d like…for good reason.

Jan 6 is too small a data set to draw a conclusion that paints millions in a bad light…unless you have an agenda to push

Same with racial crime rate extrapolations….
 
Why?

Are you ashamed that your fellow vets have been so easily duped into extremism?
Instead of deflecting with "Whataboutism", perhaps you should identify how you can connect with more of them to address the problem...
Ok Joe.

It isn’t “whataboutism” to point out the fault in your logic. But you do you….

Yes. It is.
You have no answer as to why the representation on 1/6 is 3x what would be expected from a random sample. And, remember: Those former servicemen took an Oath to protect America from ALL enemies, foreign AND domestic...
It's not a "random" sample....it's a very specific one...and a small one at that.

What are you extrapolating from that sample? Are you saying 20% of the 18M vets would be willing to storm the capital or do something similar. If so I think it's faulty logic.

It'd be like someone saying since 55% of murders are committed by African Americans 55% percent of African Americans are liable to commit murder.....which is ridiculous and would be rightly derided.

You don't seem to have a problem using that same ridiculous logic to Vets....why?
 
Why are they so over-represented in the military, then?
Do you know what "confounding factors" are?

I'll give you one....

90 percent of Vets are men....86 percent of those arrested for Jan 6 are men. So one would expect the percentage of Vets arrested for Jan 6 to be higher than the general public % which includes women. Doesn't account for the 3x number you gave but starts to narrow things down.

Since 100% of those arrested are Trump supporters and Vets were polled around 52% for Trump and 42% for Biden....higher than the general public.


Finally, this show's Vets as being 15% of those arrested not the 20% you stated....no idea who's right but this is a pretty comprehensive study.

And have Veterans benefits withdrawn, irrevocable.
Might be the case for some…was just looking it up. Has to be treason, espionage, sabotage against the US government. Pretty sure the guys that plead down to trespassing ect will keep benefits. Depends on what they were found guilty of…
