What we can’t deal with is what looks like a politically correct promotion.

the military has become a ground zero petrie dish for such

I’d like to thank those of you who showed up here supporting our troops. I’ve seen most of you at the Canteen, supporting our troops on a daily basis.

Then there are those of you who should be ashamed of your behavior here. You used this thread as an opportunity to denigrate our troops. Zotting is too good for you. You should suffer the same fate as your comrades at Clown Posse. Death of a thousand knives. You should rot in hell.

Nice one. You debate like a liberal. My comment was not meant toward "our troops" and you damn well know it. I took this opportunity to make a taunt at the hyper-sensitive feminists of the world. That's all.

Lighten up Francis.

You are humor impaired. You'll die young from the stress of it.

My post was addressed to everyone who commented up to that point. If you believe you were one of the people who used this thread as an opportunity to denigrate the troops, I won’t argue with you.

Well, I made a couple of comments. One was a teasing Beavis and Butthead post. The other was a supportive post asserting that Generals Eisenhower and Marshall would agree that logistics is important to winning a war. Can I have your permission to only half rot in hell and death by only 500 knives?

You know the saying Amatures talk strategy...

I was a Marine the same dates as you Aug 81 to 85, but was a "Hollywood Marine". I asked to join you guys in Lebanon after the bombing, but was denied.

I asked to stay when we were rotated out, but no dice.

My little brother went to the War College. Logistics, logistics, logistics....

And just for the record, wasn’t Gettysburg supposed to be a place where they manufactured shoes? Wouldn’t hurt to put some shoes on the feet of the Confederate army. Sounds like a logistics issue to me.

thinking this woman’s appointment politically motivated by her gender is not denigrating the troops

not even close

it’s denigrating political correctness which permeates our military

if we are wrong and they are other 4 stars sho got their through a logistics career then I will gladly eat crow

none of this has anything to do with who supports the troops

i imagine all freepers support the troops, it goes with the territory

Logistics wins wars.

Some logistics quotes:

"Clearly, logistics is the hard part of fighting a war."
--Lt. Gen. E. T. Cook, USMC, November 1990

"Gentlemen, the officer who doesn't know his communications and supply as well as his tactics is totally useless."
--Gen. George S. Patton, USA

"Bitter experience in war has taught the maxim that the art of war is the art of the logistically feasible."
--ADM Hyman Rickover, USN

Okay, deal.

But seriously, take look at the posts here. There are some really offensive attitudes on display. I honestly didn’t expect that. I’ve seen it before, but never in such quantity, and not since the infamous bugzapper thread, which I thought got rid of most of those types.

Wow, just a slightly sexist thought, or simply an angry rant?

Insuating my post was in any way sexist, or in any way denigrating the troops is intellectually dishonest, and just plain damn sleazy.

I guarantee I know far more about this situation that you do, as well.

I expect an apology.

I addressed my post to everyone who had replied on this thread. That includes everyone who was supportive of the troops, and everyone who wasn’t. You’re free to decide for yourself which group you fit into.
