The real hero behind the 'bravery' of Private Jessica

Naw, I left the Army because I was sick and tired of seeing good men killed because of incompetent officers who were more interested in body counts then keeping their troops alive. You know the type...you are one.

Air Force? Oh Golly Gee Mr. Field Grade, the Air Force hasn't had warrant officers in many years. I see your knowledge of the other services is about as complete as your knowledge of the Boorda tragedy...pretty lacking.

And why would anyone who was overweight and with a dui leave the all volunteer Army of the 70's. Hell, that would have made me field grade material which I'm sure is why you and the Army had a long association in those days.

Hate to disappoint you but I joined a service where a DUI would have made me ineligible to enlist, same with being overweight. Your kind wasn't accepted.

There are many unsung heroes in every battle in every war.

What good are the medals, the publicity, the fanfare, if your beloved child does not come home to you?

Honor him in your home, your family, your heart. See that his memory lives on. Speak of him to future generations.

This is more important than press coverage.

"You know the type...you are one."

Yea assho>>, you judge me because I had the audacity to point out your ignorance. You call me incompetent, yet have never even met me, so how would you know?

I was kinda nice, kept to the issue, then you start getting stupid. Well, you started the flame war, so I'll finish it. You said i can't hold a cup of coffee steady? Why don't you meet me and find out.

Oh right, you're nothing but a two bit, loud mouthed coward, so I don't really expect any kind of acceptance. Go ahead and live in your little dream world. but you and I know you for the loud, obnoxious coward that you are.

[CWOJackson]

Sure thing, whatever General Patton.

[OldCorps]

right, got ya pegged.

[CWOJackson]

Yep, you pegged me and Private Lynch right off. It's hard to sneak something past you donut munching Army field officers.

[OldCorps]

yea, i pegged you for an ignorant, obnoxious coward. One who is too stupid to know when to shut his mouth. Must have gotten you in trouble a little bit when you were in the Army. Is that why you hate the Army so much? Because you couldn't take responsibility for your own failings?

[CWOJackson]

Naw, I just wasn't going to take responsibility for it's failings. That didn't seem to bother you...and they didn't even give you a lousy Bronze Star.

[CWOJackson]

I have asked the AdminMod to move this thread to the smokey backroom so all this testosterone doesn't offend none Bronze Star holders.

[OldCorps]

i've noticed you like to change the subject away from being an obnoxious coward, by bring up Lynch and whatever awards i might or might not have. But the issue on the table is i called you a loud, ignorant, and obnoxious coward. Funny how you don't want to dispute that.

You try to blame the Army for whatever misfortune came your way. don't know why the chip on your shoulder, but its pretty obvious. What happened? your squad leader didn't tuck you in one night. Get over your hatred buddy, it ain't doin you any good.

[OldCorps]

oh, i see, you want to go crying to mommy. can't handle your own mess which you created, gotta hide behind mommy's skirt.

Seems what began as a friendly disagreement regarding Lynch has evolved into a pissin contest between two vets.

Think about it.

[Admin Moderator]

You two cool it. NOW.

[CWOJackson]

Hi guy.

[takenoprisoner]

The only thing you will find in the SBR right now is Darwin in a box. I just wish someone would let the SOB out of the box. At this juncture I would take darwin in drag.

[CWOJackson]

I know what you mean.

[CWOJackson]

I'd suggest you and I go over to the smokey backroom and start something up but we weren't too successful at that last time.

Now I can't even get thrown into the smokey backroom.

[takenoprisoner]

hey

I was trying to intercept but I see I was too late. I spent too much time reviewing all your comments. The more I read the more it degenerated.

I think I have finally figured this out. We vets can disagree but we shouldn't be pissin on one another.

[takenoprisoner]

well if oldcorps came ove too you would have your hands full that is for sure. :)

Course you and I would have to get permission. :)

[CWOJackson]

For me that would include pissing on a young Private who is going to be in pain for years to come.
