As far as counting myself with a fraternity that you say I don't belong. I have taken a oath and I't is not frivilous and without meaning, in fact it is very important to me. The fact is that when you sign and take the oath you are in fact in the Army.
Gator, you are sorely remiss to be one to call someone out when in our private area you have yet to give details of your service you claim so as to be vetted by other members of this board as legitimate.
And if you took the ****ing time to read about people instead of just trolling you would know that Bjackson911 and I are brothers, real life in the flesh brothers.
Personally I do not believe you have served. I think you have spent a lot of time talking to former EOD techs but I do not believe your claim of service. And yes, its been forwarded to the admin and mods on the board and no I am not the only veteran or active duty member who shares this disbelief in your claims.
Do you have an ID Card?
All Members on Active Duty have an ID Card, I notice in your Profile it says you are on Active Duty.
Are you getting paid by the United States Military?
Active Duty Members are entitled to Pay.
Are you on Separate Rations or did you get a Meal Card to eat at the nearest Government Messing Facility?
Where would you report to sick call if you did not feel well?
Active Duty Members are covered by TriCare.
I see you like definitions...
How about this one:
"Insults, the sign of a weak mind" -unknown
I've given more then you will ever know, and, more than you would ever want to know.
I've also paid more Tax than you have in your 16 years on Earth.... the same goes for The Godfather.
Funny I thought you guys had PMs.Many more will die before we get a president with the guts and intelligence to bring all the boys home.
Well done Gator. The war will be waiting for these young men. Many more will die before we get a president with the guts and intelligence to bring all the boys home.
That's a quotation not a definition.
In itself it is an insult therefore its poster offers a "sign of a weak mind."
Don't ya just love LOGIC.
No, not an insult more of an observation...

Who says one cannot use a quote to describe an event (such as the unprovoked, nasty comments of another user here whom I wasn't even addressing. The observation I was making was that only fools use insults in order to communicate. I believe (though not sure) the quote comes from Socrates, who was using it to describe the debating tactics of some of his critics. Which was PRECISELY what I was doing. And believe me, if I wanted to insult him, I wouldn't have used a quote.
Here's another observation. You and I can calmly disagree without it getting nasty or personal. Which tells me you are MUCH smarter (and have better manners) than several other people here I could, (but won't) mention.
As for the Topic, I agree with you.
I think lowering troops numbers would only make US troops still stationed there more vulnerable. Thats why I think we need to withdraw completely.
