So your anecdotal evidence trumps mine? And apparently you're considered a stranger to your uncles?

Time for your aunts to consider sleeping separately, imo.

No, what I'm saying that is completely sociopathic to discuss, or be proud of, killing other human beings. Civilians who do that are called serial killers, and are imprisoned to isolate them from other humans, accordingly. My uncles didn't talk about it because they're ashamed of it, like any normal human being should be. They did it because they had to, and don't try to justify murder by draping themselves in the flag and bullshit patriotism. It wasn't a fucking move, and it wasn't a video game. It's not something to be proud of.

You were the one that posted "why didn't you serve", were you not?

I think you flung that mud first, retard.

Why couldn't you hack it? Did you get caught playing hide the bologna in the shower?

Lol and if you would try that whole reading thing you obviously have massive issues with, you would know that my whole intention for my enlistment was to save lives...

How is it you got to your age being so fucking dumb? I would think someone on your level would have accidentally gulped down bleach by now.

No, I didn't say that. I asked why weren't you fighting instead of playing a video game because you were spouting bullshit right wing "kill them towelheads!" propaganda.

I think you're swinging a little far to the left for me to relate to. Soldiers aren't murderers, they're soldiers. If they killed women and kids, then they're war criminals. If they saw combat, their lives were at risk. They were fighting for their country, their own lives and the lives of the soldiers around them.

Enlisted men follow orders. It's not up to enlisted men to figure out if the war itself is morally justified. They're soldiers. The fact that you think soldiers should be ashamed of their service makes it difficult for me to respect your opinion. Take it up with the guys making the decisions, not the guys risking their lives for love of country. It's no mystery why your uncles don't talk to you about this.

Point to where I said anything even remotely close to "kill them towelheads!" in this thread.

Go on, look for it. I'll be patient while you pound your fists on the keyboard in a spittle filled rage trying to find this imaginary statement.

I keep thinking the same of you. If I got kicked out of the military, I'd feel like shit about myself, as you obviously do. Maybe you should ask your mom to put away all the sharp objects. Get down to the VA, and talk to the shrink. And don't shoot up an grocery stores.

Why does it matter if someone has seen combat? Does it make their contribution any less important? Also, people are different - some don't talk about it, some do. I have friends who I served with who very clearly saw intense combat - some never talk about it, some talk about it drunk, and some just won't shut up about it. I have a CAR and as I previously joked about, a NAM with a V - anyone with knowledge of the Navy/Marines knows the significance of those awards. I have no problem talking about them or having earned them - maybe not in great detail, but I think saying that people who talk about it are frauds or making it up is pretty silly.

It really is a double edged sword guys - some people use their military service as a means to justify themselves as some how better or more worthy of praise than civilians; but on the flip side, everyone that has served, regardless of what their occupation is deserving of respect for their contribution in my opinion. You really need to find a happy medium.

It doesn't matter if they have seen combat or not. Your right everyone does serve in their own way. My problem is not saying that I or anyone else did more than him, its that hes trying to describe himself a certain way hoping people will assume that he has. I earned my CMB while I was deployed, I take offense to people like him to present themselves as if they have done the same when they haven't.

Apples to Oranges; they've stagnated into a mass of human's rights violating, mass murdering, backwards cesspool. There's very few beacons left in the Middle East that aren't ass backwards puddles of scum.

I can only think of one place worse and much more localized as a result of a singular dictator rather than widespread suck. North Korea, even its citizens want to get out but are imprisoned if caught trying to.

You didn't literally say it, but it's implied. Got any more ingorant, retarded biased bullshit to spew? I'll wait while you got to Limbaugh's, Hannity's, and Boortz's websites for more.

Again, that was a fabrication you two mongoloids spewed forth in an effort to discredit me, not I.
