I don't play the newbie game.
If posts are reasoned and clear, and not hypocritical or personal attacks and furthers the purpose of Free Republic it doesn't matter when you signed up.
Some people like to denigrate anyone that signed up after them, and it is usually because they don't have facts to back up there statements and they hope to intimidate more intelligent posters with the sign-on date dig.
I have no desire to look up all of dirtboys nasty putdowns and lies, I'm just glad he backed away and let the thread continue without his histrionics.
My best to you.
This from someone who attacked me up and down the thread and doesn't have enough class to ping me when he is mentinoning me. Typical of you. And from another post on this block, on a milblog it said the Seals did not arrive on the destroyer for three days. You get after me for not wording a speculative post properly (it was clearly meant as a 'what-if' scenario). And then you turn around and authoritatively claim the SEALs were held back from rescuing the captain after the first attack, when it now looks like they were not even there. So who is the one making up facts out of whole cloth now? YOU.
