... John Kerry tells admiring Marine about his 4 1/2 months in Vietnam...

"Some folks think medals have better aerodynamic qualities, but I've found that ribbons like those can fly just as far... its all in the wrist."

I don't see much reason to debate this with you, I should have just let your comments slide, but since I started I will give my view of it.

(1) We are Americans, we protect those people who cant protect themselves, we do not willfully kill innocents, there are those in that town who are not combatants.

(2) By destroying a town we would help turn non militant Iraqis against us (more terrorist), furthering the terrorist claims. You would see an increase in terror attacks resulting in more US casualties.

(3) It would set a bad example and would more then likely induce more problems in other cities.

If I didn't it would never happen.

Apparently your time in RADBN didn't include reading Shakespeare. :)

Hey Gunny, if you want to have an intelligent discussion, say something intelligent instead of just throwing ad hominem idiot remarks around.

O.K.?

"What is "ad hominem" about you not knowing what youre speaking of?"

Well, actually, it is "What is "ad hominem" about you not knowing what you're speaking about".

"Dumb @ss!"

Acutally, a dumb ass is a species of equine which can't speak.

An untutored ignoramus with a limited grasp of the nuances of his own language, and limited military common sense is what you are.

By the way, Gunny, it has been sometime since you last launched that personal attack on me and I responded.

Where have you been all that time? In the men's room? Didn't doctors tell you that's not good for you? Why don't you get a girlfriend instead, or something. All of that can make you go blind or worse. But in your case, its probably a public service - prevents multiplication of inferior genes.
