Could you come on down off your cross long enough to explain that one?
Us civilians usually require complete thoughts.
Actually, MSgt seems to think he can read minds.Coronado seems to think civilians haven't screwed up military activities forthe last 65 years.
Oh boy, here comes the "fightin 4 ur fr33dumz!" argument.I remember during the first Iraq conflict(Desert Shield/Desert Storm), Doonsebury went from being that comic only weird liberals read, to one of the favs of those in the military. One strip in particular got hug up on every military base, where one of the strip characters(senator Lacy Davenport) talks to a college grad about Iraq. She asked him if he felt he should serve, and his response was "I don't think the battlefield is the right place for our best and brightest", to which Senator Davenport replied "and yet there they are".
Your post reminded me of that, with your complete disconnect with what the military and people in the military are. Not only do those in the military have ideas, it's a damn good thing they do. It's because they have "ideas" that you can say stupid **** like your post.
Every once in a while, you kill an uppity general to keep the military in check, and show them who's boss.
They're the expendable meat, and they're the tools to be used as we see fit. They work to create our image our society here and abroad, not the other way around.
MS needs to learn his place as a cog in the machine, and stop having silly ideas of his own.
It must be quite a burden to be all knowing. How do you bear it under all that other suffering?I stupidly expect more from the average American as he learns the way of the world from his favorite politician or reporter on television.
And you can explain this. Without the reporter on television, most Americans wouldn't even have the half-ass thoughts in their heads.
O M G!!! Please please..I simply cannot take anymore of this. You arrogant, holier than thou, friggin jarhead. I was born into the military, I joined the military, and I married the military. I knew people like you when I served, and honestly, darlin..they made everyone around them SICK. Do not, for one second, think you are somehow better, or know more than the civilians around you. Who in the hell do you think you are, acting as though you are somehow better than others because you have a JOB that might potentially lead you into danger. Fireman do it everyday, policemen do it every day. For the love of god, there are some teachers who teach in schools that are practically warzones in inner cities. So get the hell off your high horse, pull your head out of your ass, and grow the hell up. GET OVER YOURSELF!!You were "one of them" because you were weak. In the end, it's about expecting better from those who make the decisions to spill your blood. And when they don't and an entire civilization decides that basing opinions on lazy interpretations of what a reporter or politician tells them is more important than actual learning, it becomes dissapointing.
If only the rest of the country were perfect like our military. We'd have to close down all our prisons, since the good folks in MSgt's military obviously have no use for brigs at all!More representaion to keep TacticalDan and Coronado company. Like I stated, many of you don't deserve the military you have. I love the part where you state that "they're the tools to be used as we see fit" as if you are included in the we. You are nothing. I work for politicians.
So it's not current, and not confirmable, and therefore not of any value.
Oh boy, here comes the "fightin 4 ur fr33dumz!" argument.
Color me frightened.
You're right, though, our best and brightest are in the military. As generals and the colonels below them, not the pond scum that do the actual heavy lifting. They should learn their place.
No worries. I know plenty of military folks who do not suffer from personality disorders. Pretty much all of them are rational people, actually.I hope that others in here do not believe that this fools rantings are in any way indicative of most of the rest of our servicemembers.
In the end you answer to civilians, and rightfully so.More representaion to keep TacticalDan and Coronado company. Like I stated, many of you don't deserve the military you have.

Every rough has its diamonds.Oh lord, you really don't know much about the military do you? I was one of those "pond scum", and yet I fixed and launched multi-million dollar aircraft. People had their lives in my hands, every single day, especially the officers who flew the planes. Did you know that many of the good ideas that make our military as effective as it is today came from enlisted people?
I respect the military and almost everyone in it.What do prisons have to do with this? Are we getting desperate in our quest to drag the military around?
You have been nothing but insulting in your tirades about the ignorance of the civilians out there. If you wish to add codiciles and exemptions, by all means do so. I do not know you. You might be a lovely person in real life, but the person you are showing here is a hotheaded blowhard. So, as I have nothing else to gauge you by, this is how I shall consider you.
On this one, Sadly, I must chime in for ol Msgt. Any military member who knows anything knows that the brains behind any silly butter bar is his Master Sgt. And any officer worth his salt knows to always ask for and take into very heavy advisement the advice of the Noncoms below him. Oh, your average E-3 isnt much in the chain, but without the noncoms, the officers would be just as much worthless baggage. On this one thing, yes..listen the the sgt, and dont speak of which you do not know.Every rough has its diamonds.
It's a big rough, too.
Were you dragging knuckles on an Air Force base, fixing jets for the real brains who fly them?

There are a few select individuals that are an exception, though.

Well, with 52 posts to your name I'm sure you are qualified to judge me and my opinions. And I don't care how you consider me. Your kind usually apologize later through PM or stay clear once you recognize your error. I have no patience for ignorance, not only in the military, but expecially from civilains who are supposed to be distant enough to come to sound decisions. The greatest degree of radical anti-Muslim comes from the civilian sector despite never even facing this enemy. The greatest degree of ignorance about this enemy comes from the civilian sector who relies on TV for his wisdom.
By the way...I happen to believe that gays should be allowed to serve openly. It is time. Still know me?
