Though many of them have never met, the women of the armed services are a band of sisters.

And Jacksonville resident Kirsten Holmstedt wants the world to know their story.

Forgive me. I'm just finding all of our so called Conservatives [specifically] and Americans in general to be grossly incompetent anymore.

While I generally agree with your gripes, I would point out to you that acting like a butt-head is not going to get your point across. All it does is make people want to ignore anything you have to say.

Nicely done. Why FR allows a Little Yellow Bus stop for the clowns to come in and say “I’m too cool to care about this thread I’ve decided to post in” I’ll never know...

[razzle]

I’m also kinda tired of hearing about blacks in combat, latinos in combat, women in combat, etc. etc. If anyone were to mutter a story about white males who gave their lives in Iraq, they would be shunned (and rightly).

[VaBthang4]

I’m sorry, did you say something?

[VaBthang4]

"I would point out to you that acting like a butt-head is not going to get your point across. All it does is make people want to ignore anything you have to say."

You're really reaching with the assumption that I come close to caring.

Read it, respond...dont read it, dont respond...eitherway...I promise you, my life will somehow still go on.

[Allegra]

{laughs derisively} What a tool.

[r9etb]

Well, ignorance is bliss, and there's no man so ignorant or childish as the one who will not admit and attempt to repair his failings. One of your failings is in full display on this thread.

Perhaps you need to grow up, sir.

[Allegra]

I work for DoD Intel and every day I am going over real, cogent situations and circumstances that require our attention.

Wow. You're so COOL! You're much more cool than anyone else here on FR. You might even be the coolest guy in the world.

We all feel so small in your presence.

[VaBthang4]

The return of Dr. Phil. Apparently he has multiple user ids.

[r9etb]

As I was just pointing out....

[VaBthang4]

Yeah, he does that.

[JEC]

I personally hope that one of these female vets comes along a beats the living crap out of you with an axe handle.

[AppyPappy]

I live for imformative threads like this

[r9etb]

You sure do respond a lot for someone who professes to "not care" about what we say.

Based on your behavior over the years, I've long pictured you as looking like this fellow:

One hopes you're not nearly so small and childish as you come across here.

[JEC]

I like your analogy, however, he reminds me of the LT.? in Band of Brothers that was dismissed just before the invasion of Normandy.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Axe handles hardly required to ‘encourage’ Captain Desk Jockey into human behavior...

[jmc813]

I work for DoD Intel

I'm still waiting for you to apologize to me for slamming my service in MI years ago.

[VaBthang4]

Let it go Bro. Life goes on.

[VaBthang4]

Huh?
