“Is that your philosophy too toadie? “

You’re an idiot for even suggesting such a question.

Let’s put it this way: Why do you have a single penny left in your pocket since every penny you have could go to the troops? Are you just being stingy and whishing harm on the troops by denying them your last cent to protect or arm them? Is that your greed denying the troops the best of the best at any cost?

I've been in those boots Toadie, and it is better to kill the enemy 7000 feet away rather than close quarters or bombing innocent civilians along with the enemy. but then you'd rather screw the troops.

Thinking of a fancy acronym gives the staff pogues, remfs and chairborne commandos an opportunity to feel important. If their acronym is widely accepted, they even get medals.

Now That's funny !

Unfortunately true also....;)

>> Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

Are you proposing a nickname for the rifle?
