What has happened to U.S.?

What has happened to our image as a beacon of freedom, opportunity and the right way to live?

Much of the world fears or hates us. We have a proclaimed policy of attacking any country whose policies or regimes don't follow our dictates.

Why have we become the biggest bully in the world?

I know damn well the job the REMFs do and have nothing against them doing their jobs, outside of the fact that there are to damn many of them 13:1 and I also damn well know the shenanigens that go on in such units. Don't forget one thing....you are there for only one purpose in life...support the front line troops and only for that one reason.

[Texasforever]

Good come back...your lack of self asteem at never having served your country is showing

What makes you think that I have never served my country? Hell I could be a MOH recipient for all you know. I could be a Green Beret with Seal and Force Recon clusters.

[Stavka2]

Your come backs are getting better and better....why you must have been the center of attention as a kid.... Now that you've ignored and avoided countering a single one of my points and done nothing but attempt, very poorly, to cut me down, we'll move on to something more intelligent. Guess your college education was lacking the critical thought portion.

Then I can take it that you are claiming to be US military? Is that right"

[Stavka2]

Well, lets see, beside your profile and your otherwise silence and your obvious lack of knowledge on specifics and the gut feeling that served me and my men all my life....oh, hell, a little birdi told me.

Ya know, Stavka, this isn't Russia - we don't believe in using people as Cannon Fodder, and we don't send line after line of men on foot up against tanks...

With today's technology, at least here in america, the 13:1 ratio is necessary - in order to put less people in harm's way, with more lethal tools and valuable intel, we NEED that 13:1 ratio...

Know what you are talking about before you spout off, will ya?

[Texasforever]

My College education included proper usage and spelling of the English Language. Yours sounds like you went to a back of the matchbook school of barber sciences with a minor in telemarketing.

[Stavka2]

I am what I am, and what exactly are you except for acting like a facist demanding that everyone tote your view or else? Hmmm? What is the true difference between you and the PC liberals...besides a few party platforms....you act just like them. Don't bother, I won't wait for an answer, I'm sure you'll never give one...only some other stupid insult or bad attempt at one. I've met your kind all to many times, usually screaming drunkadly over a light beer and their big guts at some bar to their friends.

[Texasforever]

Your "profile" shows nothing but a pissed off Russian Communist that thinks the Soviet Empire still exits.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Light Beer? I though you'd lean more towards Red Whine...

There ya go projecting again. In the United States we don't consider potatoes to be a side dish not a drink.

[Texasforever]

Strike we don't

That gut feeling you have...........is gas.

[Stavka2]

Oh please, porta potties are not a necessity for the average infantry man nor is half the other crap. Most of the guys on staff do nothing and staffs like all beaurocracies keep growing and growing. When there are soldiers whose only purpose in life is power point slides....that is rediculous. There is so much pork it is rediculous. And as far as cannon fodder...sorry but the Civil War, WW1 and WW2 proved that as BS, as did Korea. Remember Task Force Smith? What exactly were they but a speed bump? Guys with machine guns and grenades facing tanks. I, for one, DO KNOW what I'm talking about.

And don't even get me started on the Intel side. You get better info from CNN then from them and all their equipment.

[Stavka2]

Even during the height of the Cold War, it was only 11:1 not 13:1....and only getting worse.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Im talking modern times, Commie... get the net...

[Stavka2]

Like I said, you've run around any critical arguement. Until you disprove one thing I've said above, don't bother replying, you're a wind bag...or atleast that's what you've proven yourself as....and my college educations includes a degree in Computer Science and another in Business Admin in the field of International Trade with a minor in economics...and though I might misspell words, at least I do it in 3 different languages in stead of with a cow leg stuck in my craw.

[Stavka2]

By the way facist, show me ONE pro communist comment I've made...good luck, it ought to keep you hunting for a few years of your soft life. Tell me something, when you look down, can you still see your toes? Without sucking in the gut?

[Texasforever]

Oh please, porta potties are not a necessity for the average infantry man nor is half the other crap.

You sound like a guy that pulled a lot of latrine duty. Now is it true that the Soviet "superman" just crapped his pants when that mean old Mujahideen frowned at him?

[Stavka2]

Actually I do, semi Sweet and dark hard beer...and no, I didn't miss your stupid attempt at being funny...just ignored it. Try harder...most REMFs need to.
