I knew what you meant really, I just used it as a opening to make a few points.
LL:angels:
You English? Not really. It would be like saying that I am Japanese when it is not the case. In France some teachers I had were leftists who were all anti war pinkos who had not understood that you don't solve problems by only making compromises but by making wars. Not in all countries, people dislike the miltary, guns or soldiers. Only people living in utopia or who are blind leftists hate/dislike anything related to weapons/army/soldiers and will never understand the sense of sacrifice. America accepted you despite you are mudslinging it all the time, so quit whining.
SO, anyone else out there in freeones land been in the military?

In your highly vaunted and valued opinion of course!
Ladies and gentlemen,
Reverend ********** would of course pass judgement on sundry topics which don't bear upon his person directly, but which might show an opening for him to spout more of his 'personal opinions on politics' of course!
Such as:
One minute you call us "murderers" and the next minute you say 'I don't blame soldiers personally' ????
Which is it, Reverend??
If you DON'T fucking blame soldiers "personally" - then why the FUCK are you ranting on in a thread that simply wants to know "if there are any military guys in here?"
I apologise for the profanity, Reverend.
Your way of caricaturizing politicians and make of them monsters is laughable and immature. I bet you don't have a single parcel of respect for those freed the europe of nazism if you are that anti military. The concept of military is based on the concept of honor, bravery, duty and courage something the hippie pinko leftist dreamer concept never teaches and has never known.
Your way of demonizing guns is also laughable. I can't change your mind and I know it won't be possible to do so.

There ya go...!
Besides continuing to post after declaring he was finally through mega-posting severely off-topic non-welcome drivel in a thread for military members and veterans, just the rudeness of forcing members trying to have a specific conversation to wade through or ignore the continuous self-declared manifesto of a noninvolved fanatic in love with the sound of his own words speaks for itself...in spite of pretty much being clearly not "welcome" in the discussion, he has forced all of us to endure his insults and off-topic meanderings or leave the discussion in disgust.
Some don't really get "freedom", where you are free to have respect and good manners...or not. Try NOT sharing sometimes, quite often there is no need to hear your opinion on everything.
I know that it's not gonna happen, but hope springs eternal!
I think he is living in utopia. And utopians are not people that have sense of duty nor sense of responsability for their words.
You're right in calling all of your posts 'opinions.' You have no official record of proof hat states the U.S. military has 'the most immoral and inhumane' record of the past century.... nor do you hold any proof that other nations have a 'balanced' view of their military.
People love or hate the military of their nation. If more people support it than not, thats not a national problem....
Tony Blair put it nicely recently... that the only two people to ever die for others willingly and without question were Jesus Christ, and the American G.I.
I dont know what else to tell you.... reminds me of the San Francisco Assemblyman who supported abolishing the Armed Forces

Maybe we should just start another thread titled : "Military members check in here. All others please post into the countless civilian threads because nobody asked for your opinion" And then maybe a mod could police the unwanted traffic. Pretend the non-military posts are pictures from another site or something...
Abolish the armed forces of any nation, and you'll be in a world of hurt.
Militaries and war have existed since the first days of man, nothing will change that, nothing can change that, and nothing any man will ever do in the future will ever change that. That's fact.... as long as there is life on this planet, people will disagree and go to war.
You still haven't proved anything in terms of your statements that other nations have a balanced view of their militaries, nor have you proved that the U.S. leads the world with a terrible military record. Considering we did plenty of good for your people and the people of Europe twice in the first half of the 20th century, I wouldn't be too quick to stamp out the flame of the U.S. armed forces. Especially since it was largely Britain's fault that World War II started in the first place.
I still dont see how you can look at every man in the armed forces and hold them all responsible for the war, or for 'killing' for a false cause. I really cannot look at an Army Policeman or a Boilerman in the engine room of an Aircraft Carrier and decide that they are bad people simply for doing what millions and millions of men have done for hundreds of years in this nation alone.

Oh shit, how did I miss this thread!! US Army...3 years. 25th Infantry Division, Hawaii. Wheeler Army Airfield. Would've stayed in longer but didn't want to fight for another country's civil war. If things go the way of the Democrats, I may rejoin in a year or so. I do miss the Army. Hooah!!!
Actually, the Ex-CIA Chief's most recent speaking engagement at his Alma Mater, Yale, was quite enlightening.
He's saying what neither the Democrats nor Republicans would say. And that Americans should have been told this is a 50 year conflict and we either need to sacrifice one way or another. It's the first war we've been funding both sides since the Civil War. And the sacrifice in leaving everything, including our Allies and their strategic interests behind, starts with Americans looking at themselves in the mirror every time they fill up.
Very, very interesting. I'll be the first to say military service in the US is about giving yourselves up to secure our strategic interests and those of our Allies, and that's a conflict in itself at times. Thank you for serving. I don't know if I could today.
