wku man, you’ve got quite a nasty mouth, and the arrogance of a 13 year old boy. I’m not really impressed with what comes out of it, either - it’s at about the same level as your chin. Nor am I impressed with your insults or evasions. You’ve changed your approach to this subject every time you’ve posted, and now you’re down to rank insults. Wow, that’s freakin’ impressive. Learn that in the military too?
I know many military people who take the position that the military can teach a person how to fight, but they cannot make them a combat warrior - some sinply are not cut out for it. But they can also serve in other capacities in the military AS WARRIORS. Many people who you’d call REMFs and non-warriors, would shut your bragging mouth permanently if you denied them that to their face, wku boy.
And I know civilian medical personnel and family members with more warriorship than you’ve ever shown in your life - or ever could. You’re a fool, wku man - by definition. Because ONLY only a fool would crap on millions of his own countrymen and women, and the courage of their lives, just so he can run around with some limited definition of himself being the toughest. In fact, you sound exactly like someone who has never actually been in combat - you have the toughest-guy attitude of a virgin. You know the talk, but never had the walk to make you grow up, like it did for everyone else.
Ya’ll want SO MUCH to keep “warrior” for combat vets alone - and hell, not even for those REMFs you mock - then you’re just living in a tiny bubble. I didn’t diss combat - *I acknowledged it specifically.* But as far as I’m concerned, every one of you is directly harming what this country is about by sticking your chins out. You’re like Catholics and Protestants arguing about which is a true Christian - except for you it’s combat versus REMF. Not even military versus civilian (which is still foolish, but more common). What a joke.
Well hell, how about SF versus regular Army? How about actual combat experience versus being in a combat zone? How about only those who got purple hearts? How about only those who walked point? How about pilots but not flight engineers? How about flight crews but not air chiefs? This entire conversation is a joke. You can’t even say your “argument” to another person IN the military without getting your lights punched out, wku man. Which one are you going to call a REMF to his face, and deny him warriorship? LOL!
And I don’t even have to punish you - you’ll punish yourselves. As I said, you warriors will stand hands together, meekly, while your women get groped at an airport, and you will not say one damn word, nor look up what the limits of the law are so you’d actually have an intelligent and legal objection to something so horrendous, and why? One single reason - because you’re too damn scared to do it. That’s a fact.
Warrior is a state of mind, a dedication to duty, and willingness to fight for it. I’m glad you’re so proud of your military service. But in your own definitions, you’re now no longer warriors, because it was merely something that came with an MOS, and you don’t have one anymore. Yet by my way of figuring, you’re still warriors. Go figure.
So you’re great because you were warriors, but now you’re not warriors, but the country is in trouble and needs its People to be warriors in the ways the Founders set out for people to fight evil, through civic duty, which is set up and protected and defended from harm BY the military because it is so precious, but - oops - there’s no one to defend it in civilian life, because there are no warriors outside of the military. Right? What a screwup on the part of the Founders! To make a country based on warriorship, and then forget the warriors! Bummer.
Except then you’d still have to explain problems in your definition... people problems... like, how about JimRob? Is he a warrior? I mean, by your way of thinking, he was a warrior when he had his MOS in the service. Then he got out of the service, so he was no longer a warrior - according to you. But then, while crippled with virtually no money whatsoever, he creates Free Republic and in doing so stood up to the evil trying to destroy this country i a way that has literally made history and scared the living shit out of every communist bastard and bitch alive in America. And he continues to do it, month after month, year after year, literally refusing to die and refusing to stop. And you DON’T think he’s a warrior?
Screw you.
But hey - you do have fans. Look at Obama, look at Clinton, look at what is happening to our country - they agree with you! They say that People need to let the military be the warriors, and the police be the warriors (police are the same as military, right? Gonna get in their faces too, wku man?), and let these brave people protect them, so they can just go on getting benefits from the government, and buying computers, and living a happy, carefree life while they are taken care of through Obamacare and through the educational system and through total economic control and surveillance. Because who’s going to fight back?
No one, right? Because according to you, the Founders were wrong about “the People” - The People aren’t warriors. They have no fighting spirit, dedication to duty, willingness to go into harm’s way. No! The whole American experiment is WRONG, because the warriorship of the People DOESN’T EXIST - right? That’s what Hillary, and Obama, and YOU, know - and everyone else is learning. Sleep, sleep, people. Nice babies, nice metrosexual males, don’t dream of warriors, don’t dream of living a life of courage, it doesn’t exist...
Hoo ra.

You should calm your sh*t down. You are on a RAGE here, dude. Just because folks disagree with you and what YOU think the world should be.
It’s an OPINION forum. Everybody has their opinion. And everyone forms and bases their opinion on the experiences of THEIR lives, their observations, and their logic. Just because it doesn’t agree with yours, doesn’t make them your freaking enemy.
When you jump in peoples’ faces and piss them off, you should expect it right back at you.
Lighten the hell up. Or just leave it the hell alone and move on. You’re making enemies where none need be.
