How about a little commentary on the article, rather then just attacking another poster?

Well, a little commentary would be nice, but in all fairness, Cap'n, Navy Pride was responding to a personal attack aimed at him, not merely launching a personal attack of his own, apropos of nothing.
Not that I think there's anything wrong with attacking or making fun of NP; I consider his platforms to be generally foolish and redundant.
But let's at least admit that's what we're doing, rather than just stepping in and castigating him for responding to our attacks. You know.

:shrug:

I agree, 1069. My post wasn't aimed at Navy...he did nothing wrong and was meerly defending himself. My comment was aimed at jujuman13. I see no reason for him to, randomly bring Navy into this, and am suggesting that his attacking another poster, is not appropriate. Some commentary to go along with the article would assist in starting reasonable debate.

So, how about it juju? Comments on your article?

It was a stupid mistake. It’s that simple.
But you would like to add to it by using them in order to take a stab at NP?
That’s makes you a dumbazz in my book slick!

Oh, good. Sorry for the misinterpretation.
My mistake. :doh

I shall in future try and refrain from poking fun at NAVY PRIDE through using a thread leader.

I posted this thread simply to reveal the inate stupidity of an organization that should read it's mail prior to sending it, should also have had the sense to differentiate between those brave souls who gave their lives for this country as opposed to those who have for perfectly legitimate reasons left the military.
Computerization is all very well and in many instances saves money, but to be honest SOMEONE HUMAN wrote this missive and although the list of whom to send it too was computer generated, it should not be beyond the capabilities of the Army to be certain that they were being sent to those who had left rather than those who had diied.

In my mind this falls into the realms of 'friendly fire'.

NAVY PRIDE thinks I am trying to demean the US military, I believe that mistakes of this nature should not be hushed up.
He is entitled to his opinion, I am too mine.

Navy Pride is not the only vet here that feels this way....funny that the only people that doesnt believe you to try to go out of your way to bash the military is liberals.....go figure........

 

[PeteEU]

Happens all the time, just a bit more "political" when its like this. At least once a year we hear about X place on the planet inviting 104 year olds to kindergarden and similar mistakes

I am both a vet and a liberal and I find most of Navy Prides comments to be unacceptable.

It's funny though when Navy Pride generalizes liberals that's ok, but when liberals do the same, his barn yard buddies come out in storm.

How about this, if you don't like generalizations, don't use them.

Liberals do not hate America. I served and retired in the military as a liberal.

Meh. That "Cold Dirt" character has about as much credibility around here as NP; don't worry about it.
Thanks for serving in the military, though. And thanks for being a liberal. :mrgreen:

I just get sick of our left wing friends trying to find articles putting down our military whether they be in Iraq, GITMO or Recruiters and then claim they support the troops........

It gets old and sickening.........These guys are fighting and dying to give the left the right to put them down...........How ironic is that?

 

[1069]

These guys are fighting and dying to give the left the right to put them down...........

Well then, at least they're not dying in vain.
I mean, what would really suck is if they died for our right to put them down, and then we failed to exercise said right.
Then they would've died for nothing.

I'm sorry Navy, but the Military is NOT perfect. The article posted is quite valid and unacceptable.

Criticizing the military is not the same thing as putting it down.

I think what the military did was wrong in this case and I'm sure they are going to do everything they can to fix it, but try and look at it from the perspective of someone who died and the military sending a recruitment letter to them. It's hard enough to deal with a death let alone make a seemingly mockery of it from their point of view.

Did the military do it on purpose? Of course not and that is the important thing, but did they make a mistake? HELL YES.

It seems like you Navy, can't stand the military being criticized for mistakes in ANY case, which is just as wrong as someone blaming the military for everything.

Take constructive criticism for what it is and move on. The military made a mistake and were called on it. It's not the end of the world and it's not liberals hating the military.

Yeah I remember getting an invitation from some university to go to the 25th year reunion of class of '79 not too long ago. I wanted to go under the persons name. I was gonna tell people about a new formula I found that made ya look younger but then my wife pulled me out of it. I woulda made a nice penny. Oh well.

I have asked this question many times and you liberals never answer it...........Why do Liberal leaders like Kerry, Murtha, Durbin and Kennedy constantly put our military down?

The military did not do the wrong thing.....A few people did the wrong thing....How can you paint the whole military with the same brush?

These people are REPRESENTING the military when they do this Navy in case you don't realize this. So yes, the military has made a mistake.

Now you are playing word games here Navy. Grow up some for Christs sake.

Are you actually saying the military is PERFECT then and makes NO MISTAKES?

 

[TheNextEra]

I have asked this question many times and you liberals never answer it...........Why do Liberal leaders like Kerry, Murtha, Durbin and Kennedy constantly put our military down?

They don't. You interpret it that way.

Kerry disagreed with the actions of some people during Vietnam. As for his comments later, he was trying to make a jab at the president (his mistake) and ending up insulting the troops (his mistake again) and apologized for that mistake.

Your hatred for anything liberal is more sickening than the mistakes of those people. People like you Navy are what's wrong with America today. You see only liberal and conservative. And you look at the opposing party as the enemy.

That is the truly sickening part of today's politics. We are all Americans that live in America. I don't care if you are conservative, I don't consider you the enemy. However, just because I am a liberal , you look at me as the enemy.

You make it sound like the whole military is guilty of doing this.........Because a few recruiters did it does not mean they all do it......what part of that do you not understand?

Navy when a representative of the military or a company does something, the unit as a whole is held accountable not just the person.

Sorry you don't like the terminology, but yes, when a representative of the military does something, they are representing the military when they do it.

What part of that do you not understand. I can go on and on, but you seem to think the military is PERFECT and makes NO MISTAKES.

Even the military itself acknowledged this mistake and took responsibility for it as a whole. SO YES, it was the MILITARY that made this mistake. Move along.

Regardless of what Navy Pride thinks, or whether you agree with him or disagree, you still, clearly, began this thread with the purpose of attacking and not to stimulate civil debate.

Barn yard buddies.....means what????? You calling me a chicken or something?


and 1069....whenever you want to question my military service.... dont be a big ***** about it and ask me yourself like a man would......but that might be asking too much from you seeing how you handle yourself around here.......maybe saying dont be a punk would suit you better........

I can't help being a big *****, Dirt; I'm both a female and a liberal. It goes with the territory.
Further, if I ever have any questions about military service, half my family have served; I've no need to solicit information from strangers on internet forums.
But thanks for the offer!
