Seems so NOT Chuck Norris as he's been a supporter of troops for so long.

LTC Private RallyPoint Member I agree with Sgt Matthew Johnson
The article is HUGE misrepresentation of Chuck Norris!

AND it misses the point that Chuck made which is we need to verify Government activity when it involves civilian areas.

Chuck Norris is right and this article needs to be corrected.

Big thumbs down for whomever wrote this summary!

Thank you all for the comments, I believe the point that I set out to make with this has been made. A sensational headline and a name can grab people in, even on sites where there is normally semi-reputable journalism there are those that try to get a story out there just for the trending aspect.

My thoughts are that we should challenge everything that is written, nothing is without an agenda.

I clicked the links that should link to the original article being sited and got an article about someone getting pulled over for speeding.

Not really the way an article should be structured.

I haven't read the original article by Norris, but I would like to.

I doubt the words "soulless robots" was used.

I'd like to remind Mr. Norris, those mindless robots will be the only thing keeping Federal Officers from dragging Americans out of their homes and throwing them into detention camps. There are always idiots in Washington that make the mistake of thinking Americans are like Europeans, and will drip to their knees rather than fight back. Admittedly there are captains who want to be generals, and generals who will follow any order given to them---the soldiers I have more faith in.
