Military


What a Moron.

From StockRock, on Thu, 03 May 2001 17:16:37 GMT (in response to: uh huh)

You may not be the sharpest tack in the box, but you got some balls, I'll say that. While I stand ready, willing, and able to debate the line of conversation you mention here (comparing American servicemen to Nazis in the eyes of history), I find your contributions to this post a most telling fact of who you are as a person. What does it say about you when all you do is post such negative, unwelcome comments? Multiple times, at that. Are you so unhappy with you and your life that you find it nessecary to spoil other's rights to converse, read, and learn in educational atmosphere and not in the derogatory and inflammed manner in which you present your posts? Why do you find it nessecary to condemn someone and their post based upon their age? If that is the way you want to play the game, let's take a look at your military career you so proudly mention in another post. Scotland? Scotland has an army? Oh, you mean the British army. What instrument did you play? See how silly and immature attacking someone completely off point makes you? By the way, to all (including my enlightened friend I am writing about) who have served in any branch of any country's military, I have great respect for you, including the Scottish military. I am simply making the point that it serves no constructive service to only condemn, ridicule, and taunt. (And, to answer the question going through the brain housing group as you read this: yes, I have prior military service. United States Marine Corps, 1st BN, 12th MAR, Bravo. No, I did not serve in Viet Nam, but my father did, and I am damn proud of him for doing so. If my little Scottish cannon cocker has a problem with the American political system and the leaders who ran (run) it, I suggest he take it up with them (there are methods to do so) and leave folks who had nothing to do with the decisions that lead to America's involvement in Viet Nam alone.
