As much as the idea of additional parties appeals to me, the 3rd parties have to put up someone better than this. That's a hot sports opinion considering who the two major parties are offering but Gary Johnson primary qualification is that he's not a R or a D.

1) That wasn't the question that was asked.
2) That isn't a Presidential qualification.
3) Let's play a "Comparative Analysis Game" aka "You point out his gaffs, and I'll point out 10-100 of the other candidates'"
However....
4) 2 term REPUBLICAN Governor WITH another 2 term REPUBLICAN Governor Running Mate, BOTH in states with DEMOCRAT ran Legislatures. You want "bi-partisanship;" these two have an actual track record of it.
5) Honesty. When he makes a mistake, whether it is a flub, gaff, or whatever, he has no mistake admitting it PUBLICLY. Can the same be said about either other candidates? As a community who values INTEGRITY (usually above all else), shouldn't this be one of our number 1 voting criteria? As the old saying goes "If you don't have integrity, you don't have anything." Can the same be said about the current R or D candidates?
6) As you said, let him debate. It's not about whether he wins or loses. It's about whether he is allowed to present the third message. MOST new voters do not identify as R/D. We have become disenfranchised THROUGH the system. The system is failing us. That is wrong and it needs to be fixed because we have no voice. Ms. Clinton and Mr. Trump do not speak for the majority of Americans.

COL Lee Flemming - When I first heard about the aleppo incident (second hand), I was wondering why they were talking about spices. It's contextual information. Aleppo as a WORD without context doesn't mean a lot. I cook, so I thought of the spice first, and I'm an intel analyst.
But, keep in mind the Libertarian Party leans non-expansionist as a general rule, and Gov. Johnson freely admits foreign policy is one of his weakest areas. A leader is not going to be 100% in every area. As a commander yourself, you know you have a staff for a reason. You hire the right people to advise you in areas outside your area of expertise.
That said, Aleppo is a MINOR issue compared to everything we have going on with the D & R side.

SGT David Baker - Augmented, it is.
Not a dig, but we have a rather large number of Brothers and Sisters at Arms who have not read the Document we have sworn to "Support and Defend." As professional warriors, we must hold ourselves to a higher standard and at least make an honest attempt to understand what our Oath means and what that Document contains.
Each of us must also take time to learn about our founding and the men who forfeited all they had and were to start this Great Experiment we call the United States.

If AD officers are apolitical, then why are you posting? this particular conversation was very benign until you intentionally joined the conversation.
I don't need to lighten up; I flatly reject the idea that a "fairly tongue in cheek" comparison of a person responsible for 6million deaths is acceptable hyperbole simply because you find him to be "unsettling".
I don't agree with calling any american politician a mass murderer because you don't like the things he/she says. I'm not alone on this opinion and this does not diminish your families suffering. This particular conversation was turned towards, "trump is hitler" from "Gary Johnson is a lousy candidate". This is too much vitriol for me and it is a poor comparison IMO. You don't have to like my opinion but then again you and CPT T took this conversation in a direction that I never would have. If you'd like to start a conversation about language and comparisons in american politics, may I suggest starting a new question topic? If you do, please cite a more respected opinion rag than HuffPo. That turns off at least half of the audience immediately.
