Uh huh.
They're disfunctional.

It's mainly a method to refine an arguement through logic, and hopefully reach some fence sitting lurkers.
"We"?
He he he.
Trav, please don't include a keyboard warrior like yourself amongst the generation who actually fought fascism in the 40s. I've never met an ex-soldier who loves the thought of spilling blood the way you do.
But you don't know, do you?
Just like all the armchair phonies here who didn't know B-52s fly low, you're winging it to suit your prejudices.
That would certainly fit the profile. But the reason was that your post was such a cluttered and unintelligible mess I didn't consider it deserved a response. Want to try again?
I knew this guy was lying, here he admits it! Rumsfeld said all along there would be civilian casualties.
Uh huh.
So....do you think those ladies would be proud of your work on this thread?
....You may wish to be emotional about this matter and bring out the Judeo Christian weakness of compassion for an adversary,that is your privilidge and prerogative. I have no such scruples being an atheist....
Well, possibly.
On the other hand, I'm quite sure I've made no mistake in assuming anyone selecting the screen name 'Skull Stomper' would be a four star jerk, in real life.
B-52's can fly low, but I doubt they are doing that in Afghanistan. I am pretty sure they are doing what they did in Vietnam, dopping bombs in cells of 3, from about FL 300. They are much too big of a target to bomb from low level.
Yes.
You've simply confirmed you're an ignorant, no class moron. Your opinions and comments are obviously fouled by the fact you've got your head up your ass.
If you didn't understand my post, it should have given you a clue that perhaps you were in over your head.
It should have warned you that you're a lightweight in a heavyweight world.
No need to respond this time....you've convinced me there is no hope of getting intelligent or informed responses from you - just bull shit.. I've added you to my IGNORE list.
Semper Fi
BTW, my father and all 5 of his brothers served in WW2.
So yes, "we" saved Australia from Japanese slavery in WW2.
Dude -- you miss an important point. Aussie & Euro-trash anti-American types and leftist really do believe this crap. Their anti-American b.s. goes practically unopposed in their little cess-pits across the seas. These countries grab ahold of ridiculous ideas and run with them in the name of fashion and arrogance.
How do you think France became such a loser country. In the 1890's France was the world epicenter of art, literature and science. Now, they're disfunctional can't-do-anything twits who can only criticize those who can and will do from afar. This transformation occurred over many years where the French babbled about fashionable nonsense ideas (like their brand of Socialism) and passed laws to isolate/protect their "superior" French culture from any American influence.
Because I think the crux of your argument is that most soldiers who have seen real battle don't engage in the type of gleeful bloodletting rhetoric as is sometimes engaged in on these threads. And that true soldiers wage their war in the fear of the Lord.
BTW I also agree that it is quite facile, and not particularly well-advised to use the catch all pronoun "we" when describing action or activity that you have not personally taken part in, especially concerning something as large scale as war.
Exactly. And what does it profit a man, if in war he destroys the values he's fighting for? You might like to check this out :
...how the military increases the killing rate of soldiers in combat is instructive because our culture today is doing the same thing to our children. The training methods militaries use are brutalization, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and role modeling. I will explain each of these in the military context and show how these same factors are contributing to the phenomenal increase of violence in our culture....

Now please excuse me, while I poke a few keyboard Rambos through the bars. Regards, By.
Yes...
Beep! Nope, screwed up again.
What is it with you death lovers, that you can't focus on the topic at hand?
Better stick to posting 'git some, git some!' on a daisy-cutter thread, killer.
Uh huh.
They're disfunctional.
...and did they used to go 'whoohoo!' at civilian casualties like you do, Trav?
P.S. Piss on your website!
The journalist probably used the term "HELLFIRE" because it conjurs up an image.
The journalist has an axe to grind. Note his comment about him "not happening" at the end.
I'd imagine you have an axe to grind as well
I cannot imagine that you are a veteran of military service or combat
Things like this happen in war
And for all your incindiary comments, they happen least when Americans make war
You display the absolutest moral certainty of a person who really hasn't experienced much in life.
I'd reccommend a tour in the Australian Army. They're a good bunch.
You could even end up in Afghanistan or some similar place
Then you could show us how it's done
