So I was walking down the street in my Operation Ivy shirt. There is a military recruitment center around where I was walking and all of the sudden I see this military dude and he sees my shirt and gets all pissed off.
This is what was on my shirt: It was a guy holding an ak-47 up in there and the caption said Plea for Peace.
So all the sudden I see his face getting all red and his eyes started to bulge and he started getting into this huge rant. I told him to go **** himself and I got the hell out of there.

If I wanted to I can join the ****ing military get shot and come home a hero and then act like Jesus Christ to everyone I see but I would rather not do that.
Here is a typical conversation between a civillian and a military in political discussion:
Civvy: OMG bush is an asshole because blah blah blah blah. He was sending people off to die cause of oil because blah blah blah blah blah
Militarydude: Yeah well, guess what? I was in the army and so your a bitch who should just sit down shut up. I CARRIED AN M16 IN VIETNAM! I GOT SHOT 20 KATRILLION TIMES AND I HAD TO HAVE SEX WITH VIETNAMESE WOMEN! SO **** YOU!!!!! !
This is the part where everyone starts to get scared
CIVVY: Oh, you were in the military? Oh my apologies sir! MY OPINION IS OVERRULED.
<civvy gets on his knees>
I sincerly apolgize for my transgressions.
<stars to kiss his feet>
You deserve my utmost respect and honor. I am now your slave. What are your orders
Military dude: kill yourself
Civvy: Done!
<Civvy stabs himself repeatedly with a fork. dies. Militarydude laughs evily>

Somehow they deserve all my respect in their world but if they are acting like assholes I'm not gonna treat them with respect. I dunno about the rest of you guys but I was taught never ever to respect anyone who doesn't respect me back and that includes people in the military.

I doubt you have the heart to do what they do ...LOL
There words tend to carry a little more weight because they have defended the very right you tend to take advantage of. They were willing to lay everything on the line, as opposed to just bitch about the line.
And I think you shouldn't have to respect anyone you don't want to. But I also think you shouldn't say anything from the anonimity of your computer that you wouldn't say to them face to face.
Man things must have changed drastically sine i was in the military. In my day (not at Valley Forge but close) you didn't talk politics and the highest ranking person was a civilian. You had to give them you seat on the bus and things like that. In my day if you complained that guy would probably have been disciplined. That's not to say we didn't get into bar fights and stuff but politics was not a recommended subject for discourse when you were in uniform. Hey like Don Ameche said Tings-a-change.
Cause I'm not going to stay and debate politics with someone who looks like they want to kill me.After you said that to him why didn't you stay? Why would you tell a man to go **** himself and run...
Are you sure you just didn't look at your feet and shuffle away quietly?

FinnMacCool said:I thought that military dudes were pretty popular in the first gulf war. They kicked the **** out of them and I mean its true people refused to serve sergeant slaugter dinner at a restraunt cause he sided with Iraqis lmao but stilll.
FinnMacCool said:lol drive by? lmao.
For some reason that gives me a mental image of George Bush driving by a bunch of Iraqi soldiers with a tommy gun and spraying at em.

Military service personell, deserve our utmost respect, but we shouldn't place they're opinions on a pedastool for a second.
SKILMATIC said:True but you should when they are facts. Which you have a profound problem sometimes with. But thats ok. We will work on that. I see much potential my good friend.
FinnMacCool said:Hey well the only way you know me is through this forum so you really shouldn't base your judgements purely on that.
I could tell you my whole life story if you cared but I don't think you really need to know anything more then my political opinion because thats what this forum is for.
FinnMacCool said:Cause I'm not going to stay and debate politics with someone who looks like they want to kill me.
kal-el said:Yes, you are right, but your analogy is kind of graphic. That's true though. Military service personell, deserve our utmost respect, but we shouldn't place they're opinions on a pedastool for a second.
Calm2Chaos said:You don't think defending these freedoms gives them a little more insight possibly. The flip side is bitching from your chair or protesting using the freedoms they provide? I put a little more weight into the opinions. That doesn't mean That I take every word said as the gospel truth. But I think they earned a little something extra by defending what there talking about

kal-el said:You're right, but like I said before, those are just opinions, they might be informed opinions, but they are simply opinions. I'm not gonna bow down to someone simply because they are wearing a uniform.
GySgt said:Sure. The "drive-by" in the sand was great entertainment. It's what happened the following 8 years the cut.
Old and wise said:And if shrub #1 had finished the job instead of calling off the war, we would not be over there now.
The only reason shrub #2 invaded Iraq was because Saddam had threatened to 'kill his daddy'.
And if you think that it was a 'drive-by' the first time, you don't have a clue about military operations.
