Sorry....you have me mixed up with Grace. Her thread is here
Certainly, my experince was not that of a soldier who fought the infantry fight in a long protratced war. But am I supposed to apologize for that or something?
And no, it was anything but a good time. I am a little surprised a veteran such as youself would suggest such a thing.
Wom, that's pretty much the mission statement of the US Army Armored Corps.Quote:
We closed with and destroyed enemy forces using a combination of maneuver, firepower and shock effect.
As many times as I heard it at hood it got to be something of a joke, and that's how most treated it.
Holy crap!!!! Who put the bee in Wom's bonnet (or helmet)??? He certainly is wound up after his absence. Maybe something to do with the Harley???? :confused::confused::confused::eek:
This, I can agree with. Thanks.
This, I disagree with. Frankly, I doubt I will ever change your mind, no matter what I do.Quote:
Your profestations to the contrary, they haven't changed at all.
But, I always like a challenge. ;)
All I ask is that you not hate me for my opinions. We all have different ideas about things. I think we can discuss them in a rational manner, that does not require resorting to childish personal attacks. And, regardless of your perceptions, a great many others here seem to think I have changed a lot in the years.
Take it from me, there are a great many others who percieve it differently.
Most of them don't think talking this out is worth their time & effort. Can't say
that I blame them, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion & I won't try
to talk them out of it. Just don't confuse silence with consent.
I read Grace's military obit's everyday. A lot of soldiers must be making major mistakes. A good part of the obit's say their deaths are under investigation. :confused: So do a good part of them get purple hearts even tho they may have errored in their judgement. The metals must make the soldier then? What if you don't receive any metals what does it make you a flunky soldier? The only thing I can think of is being in the wrong place at the wrong time ( you could get killed & receive a metal) or being in the right place at the right time (you could survive & receive a metal)?
