No questions...just what I thought.

[Eagle Eye]

Simple question: Did AR 670-1 authorize the patches, adornments, and modifications to the Army uniform that New opposed?

Answer: no.

New wanted the Army to obey it's own rules or change the rules. That simple. It did neither.

New was technically correct no matter what the court martial may have ruled under political pressure. The Army was ordering him to violate a long standing Army Regulation. That is a fact. Was what he did the smartest thing in the world? Maybe not.

Got to play the idiot.

I don't have serious conversations with children or immature adults. Let me know when you are ready to sit with with the grownups.

[philman_36]

Unless you are still in grade school, I would seriously think about taking a logic course.
You're not too logical yourself. If I were still in grade school then it would be impossible for me to have served in '80.
Any questions?
A simple "Yes, I'm an American from ______." would've sufficed. Why so hostile?
I would've apologized for assuming something incorrectly and we could've both gone our way.
You want "the dozens", I'll play.

[philman_36]

Let me know when you are ready to sit with with the grownups.
I've been sitting with the adults while your were still playing in your sandbox.

Reading Comprehension 101: I started the sentence with "Unless"

A simple "Yes, I'm an American from ______." would've sufficed. Why so hostile?

You CONCLUDED that I was not an American based only on the fact that I did not have my state flag on my home page.

I would've apologized for assuming something incorrectly and we could've both gone our way.

Yeah, right...

[ProudAmerican2]

I've been sitting with the adults while your were still playing in your sandbox.

Nope, still not ready...

[philman_36]

Uh, yeah...I will do it right now to make you happy...not!
And since you refuse to put a flag up on your homepage I'm still justified in my thinking that you're not an American.
Put your flag up and it won't be a problem!
Any questions?

I served my country in the US Army for four years.
BTW...which country?

[philman_36]

I started the sentence with "Unless"
And?
Unless you are still in grade school, I would seriously think about taking a logic course.
Yes, you should take a logic course, and maybe an English class too.
"Unless you are still in grade school, you should seriously..."

Nope, not a 'deduction' at all.

[trevorjohnson]

[varina davis]

No fringe.

[ProudAmerican2]

Coward? WHo are you to talk scumbag? I know his father and the family are good people. I'd take you out to the back of the woodshed if I ever saw you.

A dishonorable discharge and two drug convictions...not exactly a role model.

It's just that the sociopathic suckup resemblence is so strong.

Sociopaths do not seek the approval (i.e., suck up) of others.
