"Look, you're a soldier and that's great, but this is a representative republican government, not a feudal barony. We ALL get to weigh in how our civil servants--soldiers, teachers, or dog keepers--behave. If the freedom you say you're fighting for means disregarding the opinions of citizens, then the founders may have been right when they argued against a standing army. I don't think even General Honore would have as much problem with my critique as you do, and, no, I am not a coward, but I think you are, if you can't stand a free exchange of ideas."
Not only am I soldier, but I am also a human being. Whatever misconception you may have of me, in thinking that I am this "robot", should be re-evaluated. Earlier you stated that you think that not only I am a bad guy for using foul language, but my father who served for over 25 years is a bad guy as well, but later on you stated that it wasn't our place to judge others. Sounds like one of your many contradictions to me.
While I am not saying that you do not have the right to voice your opinion, which you do, all I'm asking for is for you to answer my questions and explain just a little in detail on why you think the General is a coward (other than he yelled at those in which he commmands). If you go back and read the definition, you will see that a coward is one that runs away from issues, not faces them head on.
Bubba - I'm still here, listening to you try to make your point on why you think the General is a coward and to listen to your free exchange of ideas, but you have really only stated the same thing over and over, and not backing it up with anything other than "he yelled at people".
Side note, if you were to come up to me and call me a coward, I would tell you that you literally have three seconds to get out of my face.
It's amazing, you know exactly what a complete stranger to you is thinking, and what their personal views are without even talking to them once. I guess that piece of paper you have on your wall allows you to speak for others. Well hell, if that's the case, I'll be right back....
...OK, I'm back. Sorry about that, I had to go and count the pieces of paper I have on my wall. Let's see, four college degrees and countless number of awards, from both the military and the civilian companies that I have worked for. Guess that makes me ruler of the universe.
It's actually, uh... startling, that you think I'm making assumptions about your character, education, passion for democracy, etc. Look back at the thread. Are you defensive about something? Was daddy mean to you? Did mommy make fun of your bed wetting?
