In class we were covering how the US courts ruled that another country was fined for it's citizens committing a terrorist attack. And we were noted to related it to last quarters notes as to the US definitions and the DoD's classification of terrorism. Oddly, being forms of terrorism in itself. We are reviewing a case where a US muslim, was attacked by a US soldier who has ties with a Arian Nation "group". Thus, a racially motivated attack with added threats to the victem's family. If the military sees all enlisted men as representatives of the states, and the soldier, who was on duty at the time, attacked a civilian US citizen, and also has ties with a group who is listed on the terror group lists. Doesn't that mean that the US supported a terrorist since the army only gave him a fine. The muslim man's report was tossed out and basically ignored. But he reported several more confrontations and threats if he pursues taking the soldier to court. So can he sue both the US and soldier?

No.

I'm not sure about suing the U.S. government but I know for a fact that soldier should face NJP (Non Judicial Punishment) at the very least if not a Court Martial.
I know for a fact the military does not take hate crimes lightly.
That soldier would be in deep trouble if this happened.
but you and I weren't there so remember there is always two sides to every story. plus you know the media cant be trusted.

it would not do any good. those against the regulation have not study the regulation or are flat out mendacity. Ignorant or a liar, the two way that's pathetic. Calling human beings azz-hats is unquestionably an efficient way of having a component in the time of. California is a land of liberals. Boycott Arizona. perhaps Arizona could turn off the electrical powered energy they provide to California.

That's quite a stretch, as far as actually suing the US Government for this offense, but yeah, the soldier should definitely face some consequences.

That's because as far as I can see, us White "Aryan" American's pretty much rule the world. so I guess we can apply a double standard anytime we want until someone takes that control away from us. By the way I am THE ALL AMERICAN!!!!

Who is "we"?
You need to provide factual and provable data to give an informed answer.

You can sue, but you won't win. Also, even if you do win, you won't be able to collect on any judgment that you get.
