Sorry, but that's my opinion. My opinions don't always please the "conventional wisdom" on FR.

[CyberCowboy777]

In your opinion General Franks is a hindbrain dominate redneck?

Conventional wisdom? As much as you would like to see yourself above the huddled unwashed masses, we are talking about FACTS not opinion.

All in all you seem like a smart guy, but man you have got to get over yourself.

Nobody is claiming that Toby's "Courtesy" is on par with Mozart's "Requiem" or Beethoven's "Ode to Joy".

I can enjoy Bach's Fugue in G minor and Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red White and Blue", all while using portions of my brain whose functions are beyond mans current knowledge.

I'm not partial to any of them. I think Keith's song is just the flip side of "Allahu Akbar!" and treats with triviality the serious notions of self-defense and self-protection.

Moral equivilancy is not a pretty sight.

For the sake of our troops, I hope not.

My experience with military folks is they are dedicated professionals who learned through training (and perhaps sad experience) to isolate their emotions for the task that has to be done.

They don't look at things in terms of "kicking *ss," but "neutralizing the opposition", "taking the objective," and "enveloping the defense."

Most folks who think in terms of "kicking *ss" are those who haven't the slightest idea how to actually accomplish that unless the opponent is as drunk as he is.

[Illbay]

I thought "Appalachian-American" was the p.c. term for "hillbilly."

Oh, wait, I forgot the latest "reality series." Never mind.

funny

my buddy would disagree with you; he likes the idea of kicking bin laden's ass

he is a retired Navy SEAL with combat missions

your experience with military "folks" has left you with the wrong impression - the troops like the song

it is you, the non-combative that does not
