The last time I was a “little fella” was the day I stepped onto the yellow footprints on Parris Island.

If your ridiculous posts are any indication, your mental faculties never progressed beyond "little fella" status.

My ridiculous posts?

I’m not the one here that is daring to suggest that our armed forces should obey any order Obama gives with out question.

As part of professional ethics training in the military I was trained to determine what constitutes a legal order and a legal order must come from someone that is in your legal authority, plain and simple.

All us little fellas in the Marines know that if we obey an illegal order from someone who shouldn’t be in our chain of command we are just as guilty as anyone else in the chain of command that follows it.

From a general to a private American soldiers have been trained not to blindly follow orders but to first determine if such orders are valid, it is that individual responsibility that has been one of the corner stones of what has made our soldiers the best.

Ad hominem attacks are the sure sign of a poor argument. Geez man let people have their say, and address the content or don't address it, if you think it's asinine. But don't get into personal ad hominem stuff...it just makes you look desperate. Can't you win the discussion based on the superiority of your ideas? Or perhaps you can't?
