[Bonaparte]

"When I was in the 82nd Airborne Division back in the late seventies and early to mid eighties they called us the Jumpin' Junkies because we smoked so much hooter on Ardiennes. But we still kicked a$$ and took names when called upon to do so. Kids will be kids. That will always be the way things are unless we want to put a minimum age requirement of say, 35, on incoming soldiers?"

This is the attitude that destroys a fighting force. Discipline trumps valor every single time. You are condoning disobedience to command and I do not accept your rationalization.

Thankyou for your service to our country.

Same to you ... thanks for your service to our country. I assume I am correct am I not? FWIW you are wrong Bonaparte. Completely wrong. And what I wrote had to do with "attitude" you self rightious ... whatever. But then again someone such as yourself, with an obvious Napoleonic complex ... you would have a difficult time understanding the difference between 'tude and attitude ... dude. If you get my drift. In the meantime I was Distinguished Honor Grad from 11 different schools including Jumpmaster School, 11C BNCO Academy, Eighty-Deuce RECON and Ranger School ... and was a NCO of the Year in 1982, The Year of the 82nd. So you go ahead and pass your little judgements about our young fighting men and how going one toke over the line errodes your little command structure slick - how is promotes disobedience to your jack boot strap authority. Officer right? What units did you serve? Anyway, it's tight @$$es like you that give conservatives a bad name quite frankly. You really need to get a life beyond the O.D. green in your head.

BTW - you're welcome ... for my service that is. :)
