let's say that i believe you to be a FRAUD/POSEUR, as you are either a DUNCE or NEVER served in the US military, as you don't KNOW the "jargon" & other information that US veterans have "inculcated into their souls" from basic training/boot camp/basic officer's course/etc.

i won't bet ANYTHING with you, as FRANKLY i think you are a DUNCE, a CREEP & a FOOL as well as a TURNCOAT/SCALAWAG.

i ONLY bet with people i TRUST & RESPECT. i must sadly tell you that this does NOT now include you, "snake in the grass".

You're really pulling out all the personal insults today aren't you?

And still no picture of you in uniform either.

As an officer and a gentlemen surely you would apologize if I proved I did in fact serve as a Regular Marine for eleven years wouldn't you?

After all rather then let your anonymous source take the heat you yourself have questioned my service, that was not a very smart thing to do and now you are backing away from your claims by saying you won't bet with me.

You already have agreed to do so by calling me a fraud, now you have to allow me to prove I was what I said I was, but at least let's make it fun.

I'm willing to wager everything and in return all I ask is that you wager something in return, and since you are trying to humiliate me, I have chosen something that will humiliate you and might I add your part of the wager isn't nearly as painful as you might think it is. It will give you time to reflect on why you are here and what is really meaningfull in life.

Let's have our bet as men surely that isn't too much to ask of you, unless of course for all your bluster and rantings you've realised that your anonymous source has set you up to eat crow.

You know the one thing I keep asking myself STAND?

If a re-enactor might go through all the motions of trying to pass themselves off as a military officer of this day and age?

Consider for a second this "Fine Marine", who by the way is as phoney as a three dollar bill with a picture of Bill and Hill on it.

Put him in butternut or Yankee blue, and I'm sure he could pass himself off a General or Colonel or at least a Major.

There are certain risks involved in pretending to be someone you aren't, first amoung them is of course exposure, for sure but then there is pretending so hard to become someone you are not that you actually believe that you are who you are pretending to be, Right STAND WATIE?

Lying to someone else is far less damaging to the soul then lying to ourselves, lying to ourselves and actually beginning to believe the lies is the first step into madness, wouldn't you agree STAND WATIE?

You've chided me for not using the proper military jargon or of being wholly ignorant of certain military customs, that somehow because I don't mix in terms such as "head", "ladderwell" or "scuttlebutt" into every post of mine that somehow this is proof that I never served in The United States Marine Corps.

Are you saying that if I don't ACT the part then I can't be a former Marine, STAND WATIE?

Isn't that the sole basis of your proof STAND WATIE?

That I don't ACT the part as you would?
