    OK, @Marso is getting a really early lead in the WF village idiot competition for this year, and the decade. Considering This year and decade are starting off without Dayton I think he has a chance to show us his style and these posts of his are just knocking it out of the park.

    That little peice along with his tactics thread have got to be the biggest loads of BS propaganda we have had dumped here. He is truly of the ass.

    I'd redirect this to the appropriate forum but we got rid of the White Room for wanking material years ago.

    I would agree that one of our new enemies is radical islam. But IMHO the bigger threat is so many young people (our future!) thinking full blown socialism/communism is acceptable. :no:

    There was a really good way of preventing that.

    Oh, you missed out on his post-9/11 and Iraq/Afghanistan shenanigans.
    Old age has made him lose a step, but he was fresher faced and bright eyed with his creepy bigotry then.

    It never fails to amaze me how many guys who made a living either directly as government employees or working for companies that wouldn't exist were it not for public spending are so frightened of ze zocializm.

    I'm SO glad I saw that show now.

    Now I know, that slogan is empty, because the jingoistic paranoid attitude behind it helped them not at all.

    It ended with PEACE with the Cylons!!

    You fucking knuckleheads!!

    Based no doubt on your years of field research.

    "New"? Skeezix, you've been singing the same song since 9/11. Better check the airflow in that bunker. Maybe you can volunteer to fly the usual "contractors" into the region.

    if capitalism is so fucking bad why do so many people try to escape shithole countries to come to the US or any other countries practicing capitalism versus communism or dictatorships? Better run and tell those people they are making a mistake before it's too late! :drama:

    Enough to know that if I give the rich tax cuts, it doesn't "trickle down".
    Ask AT&T employees.

    if you have a certain necessary skillset or ability that enables you to serve your fellow citizens through government employment is that "full blown socialism/communism" on a major nationwide scale or just a portion of the nation's total employment? I think at any time around 1 percent of the US population is serving in the military. That's hardly everybody last time I checked. Maybe your country doesn't "need" a military since the U.S. has your back but we aren't in that position.

    here's the list of nations helping us during our most recent shenanigans. Maybe they can answer your question better than I can.

    you didn't go in with that skill set... the tax payers gave you that too.

    nobody needs the US military, except for the companies that rely on it to support them. Gentle reminder that the only foreign aggressor ever to set foot on Canada's soil was the USA....

    define "combat experience" and "support staff" please. Would this be an example of REMF personnel? Just trying to get a feel for what you consider combat conditions.

    roadies get killed when the bus crashes too... still doesn't make them performers.

    as for your example, despite not being categorized to be in combat, they weren't in the rear at the time, were they?

    for all your smug, have you ever actually been within eyesight of whomever you were invading?
