Ban that fucking terroist loving bastard then share his IP to all. I dare you to show them cards to a Military member in the face, then hiding behide a computer like a fucking coward you are.
Hi, I'm a U.S. military veteren and I have a couple of things to say to you: (1) We saved your ass from the Iraqis years ago you ungreatful bastard. (2) I would throw myself in any of those pictures ... including the ones of death and destruction. Because liberating nations from psychopaths and terrorists like you is the right thing to do. I wouldn't expect you to understand. (3) Kinda funny that you showed a handful of images of casualties, yet you mention nothing of our victories in the middle east. We liberated you in a matter of weeks. We took over Afghanistan and Iraq in a matter of months. I'll bet your pro faction could do that. (4) Edit: I decided not to post this because it could be portrayed as racist. -_- (5) I'll bet after you made this post you went to McDonalds with your friends and had a cheeseburger.

Veterans fought for their country. Veterens believe they did.
Unless you type as much as I do in a day and you made a mistake. Anyone who has any doubts on the validity of my service can ask Crimson to verify. She knows a lot of personal things about me as well as a few other "technical proofs" that I'd rather not get into right now. And if that wasn't enough I'd even send her a copy of my DD214. I was honorably discharged with eligibility for the VFW. I have put my life on the line in a combat zone, and I am offended that a fellow American would think that I made that up. PS, I also forgot the apostrophe in "McDonald's" - so I apologize for my lack of a perfect post. Quote:
What is USSA? That is the location specified in you profile.
He should /spit on you people for treating him badly. He fought the good fight which is more then we can say for any of you people.
I'm sure there are other veterans in this community. Unfortunately I'm taking heat because I often have poor spelling. -_-
He is right. There are other veterans in this community and they have received far greater respect and maturity than this. Please stop acting immature guys.

xptek wrote on Sun, 26 November 2006 18:45 Veteran != auto-respect. But apparently it is auto-disrespect. I would also give more respect by default to any honorably discharged military veteren than a civilian. That is not to say the person is more honorably or to be respected more - but it is a good quick assessment. To be honest I think you have it out for me from previous arguments (which is fine, everyone has their opinions). I just think it was very disrespectful what you did.
I just think you're a fucking moron. Nothing personal.
Give me a reason and I'll consider the possibility you may not be ignorant.

I think we're losing track of who is actually the ass tard in this thread. That would be the person who started it.
Yeah. He has no right to bash the Army for an asinine move taken by our leaders -- that's like blaming models for being too skinny.
I think that was the best topic rebound I've ever seen.

Bashing them in both cases is perfectly acceptable. So you're saying it is acceptable to bash soldiers of the Army for not rebelling on their orders to fight in the War on Terrorism? Oh c'mon, few think the consequences are worth it. If you were in the Army, would you rebel? The only real way for them to go is a consensus. But that won't happen -- we both know it. As for the models, money v. making a political standpoint that will do virtually nothing because the heads will just bring in some new models from a third-world country, who you can't ethically blame, to silence the opposition. Hrmm.

Rather than me throwing my "obvious bias" into a response, why don't you ask anyone else who cares to read those two posts read through the discussion in its entirety. You are suggesting that: (1) A mispelling is a 'fit of severe retardation' (2) I am a 'fucking moron' because I was involved in two threads that were against people of low character. You are the 'fucking moron' for calling someone who makes a simple misspelling error a 'severe retard'. No other way to look at it. And I think anyone in the entire community with half a brain would agree. Also, both of those threads were regarding cheaters and thieves of which I do not tolerate. I refused to just "give up and accept it" like a few people suggested because I know what is right and I refuse to give in. Maybe some day you'll learn more about courage. You're starting to sound like another character around these forums.......oh, what was his name? AIRCRAFTKILLER????!

You bitch about people attacking others for no other reason than disliking them, yet you do the same thing. Quit being a hypocrite. Don't respond with your "hurr internet serious biznez" shit. That just makes you even more of a hypocrite. Yes, veteran = auto-respect. The person may not be respectable, but their commitment and sacrifice sure is. For that alone I give them respect, whether or not I agree with them or think they're an idiot.
Respect the position, not the man maybe?
To be completely honest I've served with a lot of idiots, morons, and people with "less than adequate character" (in my opinion) but they still managed to get out "honorably" somehow. Go ahead and try to use that against me and see if I care. I got off my ass at the age of 18 (17 when I signed) and did something for my nation. I felt it was the right thing to do. I don't want to turn this thread into a debate on whether joining the military is the right thing to do for everyone - but anyone that has joined any military service can tell you that it takes a little bit of testicular fortitute to sign your life away. This thread was about an ignoramus saying foolish things - and when I stood my ground here comes xptek to save the day with his backwards truths. He's just as ignorant as the topic starter in many regards. XPTEK: Are you a military veteren yourself? You've said "to a fellow veteran" so I'd like to know. Because to be honest I have NEVER run across a fellow veteran who was as disrespectful to his brother in arms as you ... so I'm starting to think you're full of shit. Further, I would still like to know how I'm a 'fucking moron' for standing up to some punk 15 (not even 16yrs old yet) kid who tried to steal from my business and from my community. How does that make me a 'fucking moron'? He was adult enough to put up his own site and run his own servers ... so if he wants to play like the big boys, let him be one of the big boys. Not to mention Justin Schultz (sm0ke) is well over 18 with a wife and kids. You must be one of those PUSSIES in life who just watches when bad things happen then blame other people. Well let me remind you of something child, "Karma is a bitch" and I hope that God spanks the fuck out of you someday for being a twat.

I didn't know that. It makes more sense now.

U927 wrote on Mon, 27 November 2006 22:11 Any suggestions/warnings about Basic Training for an Air Force puke? (I ship to Basic on March 6th) Well I have yet to go to basic(I am in my first year with Army ROTC at my school) but from watching the Air Force ROTC cadets do their PT session(which is in the afternoon...which infuriates me since the Army's is at 6:30 AM) that it is not as strenous as ours. So I would expect the same about basic, hard but not as hard as the army or marines. I am guessing the hard part is after basic where you have to learn all the technical details of your job.
That is why 30% of the Air Force PT test is a waste measurement score. For males, if you have less than, I think, a 32 inch waste you get the full 30 points. The reason is that the Air Force is mainly technical jobs now and they don't want to get rid of smart people just because they can't run a 6 minute mile. Of course PJ, CCT, SF, etc require much higher physical fitness levels to join up. AFROTC right here. edit* We have 4 PT sessions a week. Wed and Fri at 7am, 5:30 on test days, and Tues and Thursday at 3:30pm. I can only go to the ones on Wed and Fri because I have a class during the other ones. And for some people it is the opposite and they hold their own PT session at 6am Wed or Fri. We need to make at least 2 per week at if we have less than 80% attendance over the semester we fail and can never go back into ROTC.
Waste? They measure your shit?
I'm tired, unlike you, I'm actually doing something with my life.

I am not over 30 years of age. I think that is the only thing I need to clarify because the rest of your counter arguments were kinda sad. I don't think there is anyone here that agrees with you, so save yourself some face time and quietly retreat. Accept the fact that you are young and naive and do not know what you are talking about in this discussion. At that point I will have a little more respect for you.

I doubt the soldiers of Vietnam felt appreciated when they came home to a rabble of degenerates of whom took it upon themselves to spit and curse at them. Just because those soldiers got paid doesn't mean they felt as if their work was appreciated. I hold a soldier in higher regard than even myself when I think of respect, and the reason for that is he/she takes a chance of sacrificing everything for his/her country.

The US is always in some sort of war. Though to be considered a "veterAn of foreign war" you have to earn one of a few select medals or ribbons. I have earned such an award. I spent close to 6 months in the Persian Gulf working 18+ hour days for the duration of that period. Weekends included. What have you accomplished with your life, xptek? You seem to know everything and have a world of experience behind you. And you feel you're wise enough to take on someone that actually knows what they're talking about. So tell me: what is it that you have experienced that I have not? I'd really love to hear your stories.

Are they official medals, or are they simply awards? I do know that in Cadets (slightly different, I know) you could get things for perfect attendance at all parades, top drill, etc. All those did were increase morale. Some were pins, some were trophies and plaques. The point being, is that they were simply awards, not actual medals to wear honourably over your heart.

I will make it very easy for you. Google US Military Medals. A medal for every country served in that is considered a war zone. Dip below 2000 feet from the the US en-route to Europe and you can easily pick up 6 medals. Thats only for being in that countries airspace.

Just because those soldiers got paid doesn't mean they felt as if their work was appreciated. I hold a soldier in higher regard than even myself when I think of respect, and the reason for that is he/she takes a chance of sacrificing everything for his/her country. Yeah. I realized that right after you said no. I was just being an idiot. Notice my message toward your "no."

And you feel you're wise enough to take on someone that actually knows what they're talking about. So tell me: what is it that you have experienced that I have not? I'd really love to hear your stories. I tripped on acid for 72 hours straight and nobody but my best friend knew. Also stole medals from veteran and am now a veteran.

I should clarify: I have nothing against veterans, but I don't let the status cloud my judgement when people are being complete morons.

Though to be considered a "veterAn of foreign war" you have to earn one of a few select medals or ribbons. I have earned such an award. I spent close to 6 months in the Persian Gulf working 18+ hour days for the duration of that period. Weekends included. Sorry to come in at the end of all this. Is it true that the American Army receive a Northern Ireland medal, if they fly below 2000feet and above Northern Ireland,UK? Its true. Like wise a medal for having the best polished boots? Its true. A medal for having the best, bed-box in the billet? Its true. Medals for the shiniest dinner set in the field? True. It seems the Americans get medals for nothing and if you dare to reply to the above statement in the negative, then you my friend are certainly NOT serving in the US Military. I have did my time in the British Army and WE laugh at the stupidest things that YOU can receive a medal for in the American Army. News to me. I've worked with foreign officers of your military and others - and never once did they laugh about how our military is run. We run an extremely efficient military so obviously we're doing something right. I'm pretty sure we did a NATO exercise as well teaching your navy how to stay afloat for more than a month at a time - and spain how to use an aircraft carrier. Also I wasn't in the Army, I was in the Navy (CTM/Intel/Comms) and I HIGHLY doubt that half of the things you listed earn a medal. Perhaps you can point out which ribbons they get from this ribbon/medal listing? http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Awards/Ribbons/OrderofPrecedence.htm Because I do not see any such ribbons or medals for polishing boots or silverware. I'd also like to point out that in my post I said that only a few medals earn you the right to be eligible for the post-service veterans group known as the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars). (Reference: https://www.vfw.org/index.cfm?fa=mbr.levele&eid=189) I received such an award (Armed Forces Expeditionary) for my service in the Persian Gulf. UNIT awards are awarded to units that are in what is to be considered a "combat zone" (where they receive special additional combat pay as well as 'tax free' pay). Some awards such as "National Defense Ribbon" are awarded to all active duty military that serve during peak war periods or are deployed for extended periods of time. Warranto: You asked about my ribbons. My DD214 only listed 6, I believe; but I know that I earned 8 -- which is what I actually wore on my dress uniform under the approval of my chain of command. They were (in no particular order): --Joint Service Achievement Medal (earned @ NSA) - personal award --Navy "E" Ribbon (Battle E) (Earned on CG-60) --Good Conduct Metal (Earned @ NSA) - personal award --Armed Forced Expeditionary Award (Earned on CG-60) --National Defense Service Ribbon (Earned on CG-60) --Sea Service Ribbon (Earned on CG-60) - personal award --Joint Meritorious Unit Award (Earned @ NSA) --Navy Unit Commendation (Earned on CG-60) Some "ribbons" (the colorful items shown on your chest) are considered medals and when you're in full dess uniform you wear the "medal version" of the ribbon on the opposite side of the ribbons. But normally they're shown off in ribbon-form. I hope that clears up any questions.
I ask again that you Google, "US Military Medals". There are medals for being in just about every country. As regards teaching the "Brits" a lesson. You are probably correct but at least our Marines, Paras + Special Forces are not all bulked up with muscle and cant "TAB". They are the ones that will show "The US" what can be done. Anyway go on, check out the website.
Heh, I didn't actually ask about your medals, specifically, I was wondering if puddle_splasher was misinterpreting moral-boosting awards for actual medals. puddle_splasher, I went ahead and googled "US Military Medals", and came up with this link (I can only assume you meant the first link): http://members.aol.com/veterans/warlib6h.htm I see nothing about having the best boots, or flying over a country as requirements for a medal. Admittedly, I clicked on random ones, but all required some stay of usually 30 consecutive days or longer.

Everyone who claims you are wrong has posted a link proving they were correct. Enough of the bullshit we shouldn't have to "google" anything...the burden of proof is on you.
Proof of burden is on no one. Im stating what I was told. Yes we thought it was a leg puller also. But the Northern Ireland one appears to be a campaign medal. Proof? When were the sites last updated?
The burden of proof is on you. YOU were the one stating it was fact. Now prove it.
Don't ever ask a US sailor to defend a US marine (rofl). But seriously, in case you didn't know, the only thing that the US and UK share are some special forces training. I am greatful for the alliance that our nations have and I don't want to make an argument out of something like this about who is better. I have my opinions and you have yours. I'm trying to be the bigger person here and prove you wrong where you were wrong and leave it at that. Why argue over who has a better military? It's probably not an argument you want to get into. And I'd have a hard time fighting for my side because I'd be accused of being biased. This thread was created by an idiot. He was proven wrong and made to look like a fool. It was then followed up by someone disrespecting a veteran - and that has been silenced. I wouldn't take this thread any further. All points have been made in my opinion.
Besides, everyone knows that Canada's JTF2 is the far superior special forces team.
Oh Canada ......
New life achievement: I learned my polycythemia isn't going to advance to leukemia so that's pretty cool. Pretty ribbons btw.

Yeah, I do. The comment just sounds really stupid if you know that someone tripping doesn't show any noticeable effects most of the time.
Except in how they act. EVERY person that has been taken something, that I have come into contact with, has acted differently than they usually do.

With LSD you are able to "fight" the trip and perceive things normally if you really want to. Also depends on how experienced the user is, but generally it's pretty hard to tell.

Stupid, are they, that take drugs, but to abuse it for the sake of "fighting the trip" proves how incredibly braindead that you really are.

Uh, so the effects aren't apparent to people that don't need to know. I thought that would be fairly obvious.
Wow just got done reading through all the pages of this thread. Never seen a thread jump so much and end with something so far off the original topic, but then again I’m not on these forums that much. Lets see started with a terrorist putting down U.S. troops with pictures, to taking away from someone their commitment to fighting for their country all because they can’t spell to well or you don’t like our ribbons, to now talking about getting high. Wonder what the next spin will be. Maybe me since I support our troops, but I made sure I checked my spelling before posting. Grammar on the other hand ....
