Stolen Valor

Posted on 03/13/2010 6:56:17 AM PST by Sarah-bot

I want to approach this delicately because it is a delicate issue. Throughout our discussions we commonly encounter individuals referring to their military service as a form of reference. I must admit that I have done this my self. The point is that there is no way to know if someone is stealing valor by claiming military service on this forum. I am willing to submit my DD -214 to Jim Robinson or his surrogates. My suggestion is that anyone having prior military service (validated by DD-214 gets a star or some such indicator by their screen name), and those people can reference their military service. I am not saying this because I want to brag, I just resent the idea of people using pretentious military service as a form of reference. If I am out of line on this I apologize and I will accept the rebuke graciously.

My point is that I will not be threatened by anyone. I don’t care if if is a Grizzly or a hip-hop artist with crush. If you have a problem with that just say so Salamander.

I make a comment about your use of ad hominem and you reply with *another* example of selfsame?

Priceless....LOL!

[perhaps the word you were looking for, albeit spectacularly unsuccessfully, was *amphibian*]

Would you have preferred I posted a “sexual” attack?....:)

Go for it! Things are slow around here today!

Hold the phone, who said any thing about crack head anything. That is not my form of discourse. If you don’t like the Idea that is one thing, but you are starting to sound like an ass. If you want to explain you new turn of temper then feel free to Freep mail me otherwise tone it down.

‘I don’t care if if is a Grizzly or a hip-hop artist with crush. If you have a problem with that just say so Salamander.”

It *is* rather difficult to reply at *all* when I’m not familiar with your “lingo”.

“hip-hop artist with crush”?

WTH is *that*?

[I’m quite unversed in “urban speak” and “Ebonics” as well, so plain old English would be a nice change of pace, please]

Who the heck do you think you are?

All I see is a thin skinned whiny n00bie.

Whips, chains, leather or cattle prods?

I'm all geared up for anything.

Name your poison pain, baby.....;-]

Stolen Valor? sounds like the title for that new Juan McLame movie coming out after JD kicks his u-know-what.

I don’t think I ever got a DD-214 after I got out of the USCG...I remember getting some diploma-like thing that said I was “Honorably Discharged”

I am still a proud Puddle Pirate!

Point is Salamander I am calling you a P*ss*. I think you should change your name to albacore. I don’t think you have the meat to grab a polished gun and employ it as it was designed. Maybe society will never facilitate the circumstance whereby you need to employ a gun. God help us that day never comes. I would not want to see am man surrender his weapon.

I just got my dog his license tag yesterday.

Wanna see it?

;D

*sigh*

I have no tags.

I’ve “only” been married to two military vets.

[um...not at the same time, mind you]

:)
