Hmmm. Should I or shouldn't I?
Yeah, I guess I should. Listen pogey-bait, I'm speaking as one those that you owe nothing to: I didn't ask for anything from you, in the first place, you stinking REMF.
I served because I got paid reasonably well to do things that I enjoyed doing. Others may call it what they wish, I called it a job. I didn't fail at it, either. Your stinking ass is still around to spew this crap, ain't it?
Thanks for paying your taxes, so that I could be paid, but otherwise, I really don't give a damn if you live or die.
In fact, you mealy-mouthed wanna-be spook, your type is the same type that did nothing but piss me off day after day, anyway, since all you could do was postulate and present your silly-ass pipe dreams based upon your fabricated imaginings, with no other purpose than to make a pitiful attempt to justify your own job. Good and honorable men died for your Clancy imaginings.
Your type wasted my time and talents on many occasions, with your Cold War crap and the constant doom and gloom crap that never existed.
You would have been better off just keeping your idiotic mouth shut. Tis better to keep silent and be thought a fool, than to open ones mouth and verify the suspicion.
CIA, my ass. The good ones don't go around spouting this crap. If you knew half of what you think you know about why someone serves, you wouldn't be wasting your time writing your silliness for Lew Rockwell forums.
But, you, you ignorant James Bond wannabe, you don't know diddly about your subject, best you go back to writing assessments of non-existant planned invasions of Bora-Bora or whatever it is you ring-knocking, joe college CIA dipshits do.
Here! Here, Sergeant Major! You tell him.
I thought you would find this interesting. Here's part of another article Mr. Edmonds evidently thinks he's an expert on. It's titled Horsepower King and deals with cars. Evidently, Mr. Edmonds thinks damn highly of his own intelligence . . . or he just keeps throwing cacca at the wall, hoping to one day get a paying job writing -- there's a "beggar link" at the bottom of the article for donations.
I only cite the first paragraph . . .
The horsepower wars will continue – fortunately for us – but for the time being, there is a champion. Among all the Mustang Cobras, Corvettes, the new Nissan 350Z (an excellent value in a fast sports coupe, not far behind a Corvette at $20,000 less), and the turbocharged 500-hp Mercedes sedans and coupes, there is a single winner: Honda.
Horsepower wizard to political guru to military genius to master strategist to armchair philosopher . . . Edmonds' ego is writing checks his hummingbird accomplishments don't back up.
I don't know if you saw his photo at the bottom of the Horsepower article but he sure looks young to have "retired" from the CIA. And if he didn't retire . . . then what federal benefits could he have coming? Methinks the jackass was probably fired.
