In the US or Asia? I did two tours in Korea and let's just say bridges, buildings and so forth can be a real adventure.
So you are confirming that you have threatened, nice Christian there. You once told me by PM you have my personal info, and that you recently met someone with a set of skills that can be used against me offline. I printed the PM but can't find it, it's probably in the rabbit hutch I once kept rabbits in.
Now I've been told it would be exceedingly foolish to put your personal information where it can be bound by someone online. At least so I've been told. You do that and you can get people from online cowardly trying to get you in trouble with your employer.
Reality doesn't change because you've got a bruised ego...that you've brought on yourself many times over.
Completely irrelevant. Are you (or that idiot shootER) going to SERIOUSLY argue that a person has to serve in the military BEFORE they advocate military action?? If so, you're basically announcing that 90% of American citizens cannot support military action. And I know you can't seriously believe that. I labeled shootER a hypocrite because I'm quite sure there are plenty of people he DOES NOT mock for their lack of military service like he does me. Thus a hypocrite.
You get mocked by me and nearly everyone else here for your views, coach. Your. Views. I have dozens of friends who have always been civilians, but they get no mockery from me because they don't drool over the thought of people other than themselves going to war. Thus, the only difference between you and a bag of shit...is the bag. Case closed, coach.
You can advocate anything you please. Just be prepared to be laughed at by people who know what they're talking about. And most American's who weren't in the military have more thoughts on foreign policy than "bomb them". It's only the chickenhawks like you who rub one out to that.
You're mocked because you read about a subject, claim that you are knowledgeable about said subject. Then you make statements and comments that are disproven and shown to be incorrect by people who work in the field and have actual experience. And once shown that you are incorrect you want proof that they have experience in that field, you dismiss them and resort to insulting them. Yet when your sources are shown to be in error, or merely opinions you continue to act like ass and dismissive of anyone who has any experience or more knowledge than you could ever hope to attain. Furthermore, you assume a smug arrogance of superiority when time and time again you have been shown to seriously lack in any accomplishments or success compared to nearly any other member on this board. In case you forget, you have been mocked and ridiculed repeatedly for over 15 years on this board and others. There is not a single person on here, or other boards that have earned that 'distinguished' reputation. That indicates a serious flaw in how you perceive yourself.
I still think the shit in the bag is infinitely more valuable, at least it has some use as it can be used as fertilizer. So the shit does has some use after all. Dayton, well all he can do is take up space. And if Dayton does believe himself to be as smart and experienced as he believes he is, why is still not a head coach? He's been claiming he will be one 'next year' almost since his first year of being a coach. How many people have been promoted past him in that time?
Sometimes I actually like you Ed. While you insult frequently you will honestly engage. My lack of accomplishments or success compared to others on the board (your description) DOES NOT mean that: 1) I'm wrong about what I've read. 2) My sources are wrong. 3) That I'm lying about what I've read. I'm genuinely curious. What accomplishments or success would I have to have at this point for you to take my views and opinions seriously? Surely there must be some level or threshhold that you have in mind.
I will concede you were right about the submarine facts (as I'll acknowledge your expertise in that) if you will honestly answer one question. Why do you (others do it as well) constantly make it sound like I get some kind of sexual satisfaction or thrill out of watching or contemplating military conflict?
For starters, your idea that you could ever be president. You have never made any single attempt to get voted or run for any position, no matter how small it could be. There are several positions that all you really need to do is get your name on the ballot. Around here, even some of the county positions run unopposed. All you need to do is get your name on it, hell you might even get elected if the opponent's last name starts with a letter after K. You claim to be a great football coach, if so why is it always "next year", and then it's "they're against me". You haven't been promoted or moved upwards in any coaching position. From other boards, you have said you don't want to put in the extra time and effort. It's the go getters that often win. You've also had several occasions where you felt your job was in jeopardy or that you claim someone is out to get you. The ones that are out to get you are the ones that review and grade how well you are doing in your job. Yet you still have difficulties in moving up or getting a better position.
It's a figure of speech for one, as in getting your jollies. And as many have said, you advocate it time and time again. You never advocate a more peaceful solution.
But that doesn't answer either of my questions (or explain why I MUST be wrong without (in your opinion accomplishments). Now, I won't get mad at you for not answering. Perhaps you've never considered it. But for someone who puts the thought you put in your posts one would think that you have at least "something" in mind when it comes to accomplishment or success.
Dayton, I've explained it to you a couple times, but you refuse to acknowledge, so you're just going to get a cut and paste this time: It amazes me your ability to lie to yourself as well as you do. It's one thing to lie to us. We're used to it, and no one expects any different from you, but I really get the feeling that you've managed to 'purge' your mendacity and rank cowardice displayed from your mind. It's not that you didn't serve, as pointed out many did not. It's when you got called out, you got defensive, like you always do, and then you lied, like you always do (chicken coop anyone?). You claimed that you were NOT a chicken hawk b/c you really really REALLY wanted to serve. You pretended to be so upset that you couldn't join, constantly wailing at how unfair it was. You even claimed to have gone to a recruiter but been turned down due to age. But then tragedy struck, they raised the enlistment age. When this was pointed out to you.... silence. It was pointed out again... silence. Again and again your cowardice was raised but again and again you would just stop posting in the thread, never admitting you never had the balls to join. Oh, and once again you display your ignorance of the military. If you wanted to fight you would have fought. It's why I enlisted even though I had a degree. I wanted to go infantry (SF actually, but heart murmur meant I couldn't go 18X), and by enlisting you get to choose your job. My buddy 'Old Man' Oates was 39 when he enlisted in the infantry, and then volunteered to come over as a replacement to a unit in Iraq. During the Surge.
Most men have sexual thoughts as frequently as you have thoughts of bombing and space battles. most normal men, at any rate. I can see how that might confuse you.
