Unless unbeknownst to you a special ops training exercise was under way.

Your imagination is running away with you.

Look, believe what you want. Don't let the fact that there is zero evidence to support your wild-ass conspiracy theories get in your way. Go ahead and make up special ops training exercises or super secret weapons systems or rogue Navy ships that go off and shoot down airliners. Whatever makes you happy. But if you also insist that after all of that you still support and respect the U.S. Navy and the other armed forces, well then speaking as a Naval officer I don't want your respect because I doubt its sincerity and I can live without the support of people like you who think that the armed service that I spent almost my entire adult life in could engage in mass-murder and coverups.

Is it my imagination that the Navy lied about whether thay had assets in the water under TWA 800 that night?

Look, believe what you want.

I will. And right now I believe the true reason for the downing of TWA 800 hasn't been provided. That means that we don't know what took it down.

There is but one wild-ass conspiracy theory between you and I, and it is the conspiracy theory that I am here to take down the Navy. You have called me a conspiracy theorist a number of times on this thread, but I haven't proposed one single substantive act on behalf of the Navy as the cause of TWA 800 going down. Point to one place where I have.

Right now, link me to the place where I said, "The Navy...", and you fill in the blank with whatever action I specifically stated the Navy took. Link us to it. Now.

I have been quite clear that I do not know what took place that took down TWA 800. I have left all options open. You are the one who blew that out to mean that I was specifically stating the Navy took down TWA 800. Yet you call me the conspiratorialist.

Whatever makes you happy.

You think it makes me happy to wonder what took down TWA 800? You think it makes me happy to have all options on the table? Whew!

But if you also insist that after all of that you still support and respect the U.S. Navy and the other armed forces,...

There's no 'if' option here bud. I do. I will tell you that I am sorry to see your judgement on display like this though. I happen to appreciate your service and accept this is not an example of the judgement you used in service to our nation. I support just about everything the military asks for, and there are times when I want more for it than it does asks for.

well then speaking as a Naval officer I don't want your respect because

Thankfully my support isn't dependent on your desires...

I doubt its sincerity

It's a free country...

and I can live without the support of people like you

Perhaps you can and perhaps you can't. I suspect there are quite a few of us out here, who have open minds and a healthy skepticism when things are not on the up and up. And I would be quite surprised if there weren't many of them serving in the armed forces.

who think that the armed service that I spent almost my entire adult life in could engage in mass-murder and coverups.

This comment pretty much reveals the gap between what I have been saying and what you have been comprehending.

At no place in this thread or anywhere else have I stated that the Navy intentionally shot down TWA 800 or engaged in mass-murder. While I do keep an open mind to the ultimate fate of TWA 800, I have never considered this an option and I have never stated that I did.
