As far as reading comprehension goes, clearly, my post was directed to DvdMom. But, since you responded (and she didn't) I will again point out that poitsal did not say rebel was on vacation. Let's try to keep it real. There was plenty of advance warning from our State Department that travel was dangerous and the point was that IF one were aware, one really should expect and prepare for trouble, not cry whine and complain when one finds oneself in deep doody. Especially in public. On FR of all places. Americans once were known for their 'can-do' spirit and for those who work to maintain that spirit, this is in itself an insult.

First, those who would actually defend America (and literally have) and Americans working round the clock in a terrible situation were insulted. Then additional insults were slung to those who pointed out America and Israel are not wiping RY's arse while Israeli's are being attacked and killed. Those who dared point that while this FReeper slung insults against America with nary a concern given to the prevention of American military risks associated with the logistical issues of swooping into a war zone were insulted because this poor FReeper's feelings might be hurt.
Now the the thread has further disintegrated with more insults, resulting in a FReeper being banned for asking questions. I did not see at all where BB was arguing with a Mod, but in the moment I could see how that could have been assumed by the Mod.
Now this is going off on another tangent, with snotty remarks accusing America of not helping German Jews in WWII. FGS.
I see no effort to diffuse any insults on this thread, only continued fanning of flames, cat scratching, hissing extraordinaire- in other words, continued snotty remarks... and we sure can't blame that on Bykr Bayb.
Regardless of RY's situation -REGARDLESS- denigrating Israel because he can't get out and our military for not moving fast enough to save his heinie and then giving him a pass for this behavior is in itself an insult to those who put themselves at risk to save his insulting hide.
His risks are not the only risks at issue.
I guess you just don't see it that way, though. But other FReepers do.
Pointsal did make a comment about vacations in Beruit
Lebanon . Iwo Jima said he agreed . I stated rebel wasn't vacationing in Lebanon. Iwo Jima called ME a liar , & I " using sarcasm " : said Liar Yah Right .
Many in my family are military . I have nothing but the utmost respect for military .
I read were rebel stated he was behind Israel 100% . I Also read were he wants Iran & Syria cut off at the head .
Have you EVER Been in rebel's situation ?
I was disgusted by some freepers who seem to want rebel to die in Lebanon . That was mean , & uncalled for !
I Also was disgusted by all the comments saying if rebel is on a vacation in Lebanon rebel deserves what he gets !
So yes the vacation comment was mean-spirted IMO .
I'm just glad Rebel is home .
