Dont ask Dont tell Policy Ruled Unconstitutional

Could you come on down off your cross long enough to explain that one?

I stupidly expect more from the average American as he learns the way of the world from his favorite politician or reporter on television.


Us civilians usually require complete thoughts.

And you can explain this. Without the reporter on television, most Americans wouldn't even have the half-ass thoughts in their heads.
 
Coronado seems to think civilians haven't screwed up military activities forthe last 65 years.
Actually, MSgt seems to think he can read minds.

Unfortunately he can't.
 
I remember during the first Iraq conflict(Desert Shield/Desert Storm), Doonsebury went from being that comic only weird liberals read, to one of the favs of those in the military. One strip in particular got hug up on every military base, where one of the strip characters(senator Lacy Davenport) talks to a college grad about Iraq. She asked him if he felt he should serve, and his response was "I don't think the battlefield is the right place for our best and brightest", to which Senator Davenport replied "and yet there they are".

Your post reminded me of that, with your complete disconnect with what the military and people in the military are. Not only do those in the military have ideas, it's a damn good thing they do. It's because they have "ideas" that you can say stupid **** like your post.
Oh boy, here comes the "fightin 4 ur fr33dumz!" argument.

Color me frightened.

You're right, though, our best and brightest are in the military. As generals and the colonels below them, not the pond scum that do the actual heavy lifting. They should learn their place.
 
Every once in a while, you kill an uppity general to keep the military in check, and show them who's boss.

They're the expendable meat, and they're the tools to be used as we see fit. They work to create our image our society here and abroad, not the other way around.

MS needs to learn his place as a cog in the machine, and stop having silly ideas of his own.

More representaion to keep TacticalDan and Coronado company. Like I stated, many of you don't deserve the military you have. I love the part where you state that "they're the tools to be used as we see fit" as if you are included in the we. You are nothing. I work for politicians.

It must be quite a burden to be all knowing. How do you bear it under all that other suffering?
 
You were "one of them" because you were weak. In the end, it's about expecting better from those who make the decisions to spill your blood. And when they don't and an entire civilization decides that basing opinions on lazy interpretations of what a reporter or politician tells them is more important than actual learning, it becomes dissapointing.
O M G!!! Please please..I simply cannot take anymore of this. You arrogant, holier than thou, friggin jarhead. I was born into the military, I joined the military, and I married the military. I knew people like you when I served, and honestly, darlin..they made everyone around them SICK. Do not, for one second, think you are somehow better, or know more than the civilians around you. Who in the hell do you think you are, acting as though you are somehow better than others because you have a JOB that might potentially lead you into danger. Fireman do it everyday, policemen do it every day. For the love of god, there are some teachers who teach in schools that are practically warzones in inner cities. So get the hell off your high horse, pull your head out of your ass, and grow the hell up. GET OVER YOURSELF!!

I hope that others in here do not believe that this fools rantings are in any way indicative of most of the rest of our servicemembers.

If only the rest of the country were perfect like our military. We'd have to close down all our prisons, since the good folks in MSgt's military obviously have no use for brigs at all!
 
So it's not current, and not confirmable, and therefore not of any value.

To me it is... thats all that matters....

Not that the number of crybabies who are still left 7 years later who decide to get out are of any concern of mine..... Im not here just to hear **** I want to.

So privates and Lance Corporals? Seaman? Airmen? All enlisted? Junior officers? Enlisted who become Warrant Officers? And what about the Colonels that help them fill sand bags or help them move generators just to be a part of the team?

My guess is that some military guy stole your girlfriend along the way and you're internally damaged.

No worries. I know plenty of military folks who do not suffer from personality disorders. Pretty much all of them are rational people, actually.

In the end you answer to civilians, and rightfully so.

Shut your mouth, pawn, and get back to work. Take your primitive delusions elsewhere.

Depends on the subject. On matters I am not studied in, I keep my mouth shut.
 
You were "one of them" because you were weak.

I'm a parent because I'm weak?

Really?

Hoo, boy! :lol:

In the end, it's about expecting better from those who make the decisions to spill your blood.

Or you can be like me, and not give them that opportunity. By not volunteering for military service, and instead volunteering to serve your country in ways that don't involve letting someone else decide where you will have the privilege of dying for your country.

Just a thought.

So you know me? I believe there is more honor to being a teacher (which is why I am going to become one). I believe there is more bravery in being a fireman or a cop that sees danger weekly than a "soldier" who sees it only when he deploys. With that being stated....I am not going to allow ignorant civilians to have their baseless opinions spewed out towards the military without defending it.

Bitch somewhere else..."fool."

Oh lord, you really don't know much about the military do you? I was one of those "pond scum", and yet I fixed and launched multi-million dollar aircraft. People had their lives in my hands, every single day, especially the officers who flew the planes. Did you know that many of the good ideas that make our military as effective as it is today came from enlisted people?
 
You have been nothing but insulting in your tirades about the ignorance of the civilians out there. If you wish to add codiciles and exemptions, by all means do so. I do not know you. You might be a lovely person in real life, but the person you are showing here is a hotheaded blowhard. So, as I have nothing else to gauge you by, this is how I shall consider you.

What do prisons have to do with this? Are we getting desperate in our quest to drag the military around? Prisoners in the brig aren't getting raped or selling drugs to each other. But back on subject, why else do we seek so strongly for the military to once again make the statement for social justice for civilians? Though not perfect, you damn well look towards us for something civilians can't seem to provide without us. Or can gays go ahead and get married now?

Every rough has its diamonds.

It's a big rough, too.

Were you dragging knuckles on an Air Force base, fixing jets for the real brains who fly them?

I respect the military and almost everyone in it.

There are a few select individuals that are an exception, though.

Well, with 52 posts to your name I'm sure you are qualified to judge me and my opinions. And I don't care how you consider me. Your kind usually apologize later through PM or stay clear once you recognize your error. I have no patience for ignorance, not only in the military, but expecially from civilains who are supposed to be distant enough to come to sound decisions. The greatest degree of radical anti-Muslim comes from the civilian sector despite never even facing this enemy. The greatest degree of ignorance about this enemy comes from the civilian sector who relies on TV for his wisdom.

By the way...I happen to believe that gays should be allowed to serve openly. It is time. Still know me?

On this one, Sadly, I must chime in for ol Msgt. Any military member who knows anything knows that the brains behind any silly butter bar is his Master Sgt. And any officer worth his salt knows to always ask for and take into very heavy advisement the advice of the Noncoms below him. Oh, your average E-3 isnt much in the chain, but without the noncoms, the officers would be just as much worthless baggage. On this one thing, yes..listen the the sgt, and dont speak of which you do not know.

Your just kind of bouncing all over the place aren't you?

.......I'm only 38. But he was actually addressing Redress. We are used to it. From time to time we have to defend against the gangs of haters who insult or defend the military according to political theme or subject.

No, I was doing it on an aircraft carrier in the middle east. Those "real brains" ain't as bright as you think they are, and those who fix them are alot brighter than you think they are. Both groups of people do in an average day stuff most people would never have the courage or ability to do.

I was not aware that my number of posts on THIS particular has anything to do with my ability to recognize a hotheaded tirade when I see one? It was hotheaded, and if you go back and read through, you might actually see that it was. I do not need to apologize. I could actually see your face growing redder and redder with every keystroke. Sometimes, sweetie, its good to take a deep breath and relax.
