Has it ever occurred to you that maybe your posts are rambling and incoherent? Perhaps they don't gush with the logic you think they do? Just something to noodle out when you have some time to kill.
Show me in a post where I denigrated that fine institution? I called a person who attended it dumb, not the institution that he came from.
You denigrated the fact that Wesley Clark holds a Master's Degree as if that is something bad. Then, in a veiled attempt to insult, you tried, in obvious desperation, to tie me and and Wesley Clark together simply by virtue of the fact that we both hold Master's Degrees, albeit in different subjects. This is despite the fact that Clark's degrees are from an entirely different institution from where I earned mine (with honors). Not only do you denigrate academic achievement as if it is somehow unworthy of your highly regarded consideration, but by doing do you denigrate the institutions themselves because this is one of the key products of those institution's labors. Therefore, not only did you denigrate West Point, but every institution on the planet that awards Master's Degrees. You simply cannot do one without doing the other. Just some of that "simple logic" you seem so fond of. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but again, you just might want to find out what the person you are insulting has done with their knowledge before you so quickly choose to insult.
Gee, now you're finally starting to get my point
Shazzam!
You listed all of your academic achievments as evidence of how smart you are.
No, I listed my academic achievements after being repeatedly called stupid and ignorant by you.
Yet as you have noted above, being smart or intelligent does not come from academic honors.
Words mean things. Stupid and ignorant do not have the same meaning, nor does smart and intelligent. Perhaps if you would use the correct words to explain exactly what you mean it would be a little easier to understand your "logic".
You see, I never mentioned it previously but I have a college degree also.
Good for you! It's quite an achievement!
It's not germaine to the subject at hand even though you have attempted to belittle my intelligence.
Sir, not once have I tried to belittle you in any way. It would not be germane to the topic of this thread. I have asked questions, quoted facts and stated personal opinions, some of which you disagree with and that is fine because you are entitled to your opinion just as I am entitled to mine.
Perhaps because I attained it later in life is the reason that it does not mean as much to me. I feel like I learned more pushing recruits through on Parris Island than in the classroom. I learned more from a CMH winner speaking on Leadership in Combat than any college professor could teach me. My degree merely afforded me the opportunity of good employment upon retirement from the Corps.
Again, I thank you for your service, but I fail to see what this has to do with Libya.
Your degrees, like Wesley Clarks do not impress me and says nothing about your intelligence. Your posts here on the other hand do. They show you to be of low intelligence.
I never once said my degrees equate to intelligence. I merely posted the fact that I hold an MSEE and BSAE from Georgia Tech (with honors) because you called me stupid and ignorant. They don't give Master's Degrees in Electrical Engineering (with honors) or Bachelor's Degrees in Aerospace Engineering (with honors) away because someone is stupid. It is possible to be ignorant and hold a higher degree though, and to that I plead guilty. I don't begin to claim that I know everything. Far from it. I learn something new every day. I wish I could say the same for others. Quite a bit of study and dedication is required to earn high levels of academic achievement, but you are certainly entitled to your opinion. However, before you insult me further perhaps you should know that it is barely possible that I helped design a system that keeps Marines, like those you guided at Paris Island, alive when they face the confusion of combat.
You better go back and re-read your posts there sea lawyer. You've insulted me many times on here. I'm just not whining about it. You better buck up and put your big boy pads on if you're going come on here on free republic and drip with sarcasm in your posts to me or others.
Considering that I've been around Free Republic about three times longer than you I'll certainly take that suggestion under close advisement and govern myself accordingly, sir! Thank you for the advice! I'll be 'a workin' on that "buckin' up"! Sir, yes Sir!
