I was listening to the Attorney General of the state of Montana on Fox business weekend wrap up. The Keystone XL pipeline would pump the equivalent of 650 rail cars A-day. Democrats and other say follow the science. Yes, we have ruptures here and there from pipelines but we also have runaway trains that can destroy whole towns. We will have railway accidents. You all in the military have always heard your commander or person in charge talk about the risk assessment. Some of the progressive left do not follow the risk assessments because its political and Not common sense.
This may not be your usual railroad derailment. This happened in Canada a few years back and I have not forgotten that oil tank cars wasted this town. Many bodies were never recovered.
I know I have been reminded about the violation of the Laramie treaty on having oil pipelines go through American Indian land. Some American and Canadian Indians don't mind it and actually want to work on the pipeline and earn royalties from it. Just like with caucasians, some are influenced by environmental zealots and some are not. We have tribes on both sides of the issue on this pipeline. Like I mentioned earlier, I have a full blooded native brother-in-law who has a welding company who is willing and able to work on the pipeline and he has a crew ready to work on it. This may not fit the narrative but at least you know I am not making this stuff up.

Capt Gregory Prickett I will not ague with you. I do not have the need to be right.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Sir, You are truly a disagreeable person to call me out my name and insinuate I have no respect and tell you to stop saying stuff when “you are replying to me under my post”. While I do not want to argue with you, I will not allow myself to be maligned. Time for an honest After Action Review:
You mentioned the “tribe” voted against the pipe and brought up the question of why one would want this pipe route to go through the tribe’s land "on my post". I explained it was probably cost. You brought up a cost factor of the alternative pipe routes and I brought up some additional factors for your consideration and pointed out that we don’t really know the facts and need to trust the Elders to make the best decision for their people. I offered no comment on the decisions the Elders made and felt you were portraying them as people who needed to be defended by others. This is why I said “I believe you do them an injustice.”; because they don’t need any outside help from an engineer or a lawyer.
Then you go all flip on me with poor language telling me not to tell you what to do (I never did) and then bringing up the poor treatment of your family out of the blue. I highlighted that I never asked you to defer to me and then you bring me back into a discussion calling me by name. Well, what can one say to that? I say “Good day Sir”.

Then you told me not to worry about an Indian issue? That you had "worked" with Indians in the past, as if that made you some kind of Indian expert? You say that they don't need assistance from lawyers, who the hell do you think is handling their lawsuit for them?
