You are one fucked up human being.d2d said:You you have no respect for the people that died and/or witnessed this, then go fuck yourself.

Well this was an interesting way to thank veteran's. But I did like the go fuck yourself part.
-
I hope @d2d has a very happy Memorial Day. Perhaps some time away from the keyboard would help him get some perspective.

Lieutenant Dan?!?! True?!

d2d looking to glorify himself on Memorial Day is just par for the course for him. He's not dead, so the only thing I remember is him being a fuckin' dipshit last week.
Quit being a dung beetle,c d2d. Nobody wants to hear your crap this weekend. -
Greag thread idea d2d. Too bad nobody understood what you meant. Obviously ex doesnt watch the news. Im a bit tired of that hypothetical too

I will be spending 8 hours on Monday giving poppies away in Seattle. Although the vast majority of people are nice and respectful, between 5-10% are not. I receive comments that I haven't heard since the 60's and early 70's.
Unfortunately, the VFW and American Legion both frown on me exercising my 1st Amendment rights when I encounter those comments.
I did 2 tours in Viet Nam. (As a 2Lt my boss was 1Lt Mike Dann. So, the movie was true.)
Some of my dear friends' names are among the 52,000+ on a certain wall in DC and I really don't appreciate those comments.
If you see Vets passing out poppies on Monday and do not respect Veterans, please be respectful enough to just keep your comments to yourself.
Thank you.

PS: If you can't be respectful, then try to remember that approximately 75% of Veterans registered with the VA, have concealed weapons permits. It's a good fact to know. -
No - thank you, d2d. Your service is truly appreciated. I'm glad your name isn't one of those on the wall so we can go rounds with each other here.
Seriously.

Why on earth would I leave a country that is geographically situated so as not to have any realistic threats?d2d said:

I'm sorry you sold your soul to be used as a pawn to blow fart bubbles in rice fields. -

See supra.
I didn't sell my soul. Unlike you, I have [had] a conscience. A lot of kids that didn't get a student deferment, or didn't go to Canada were dying in a war they didn't start. (The fucking French started it protecting their fucking colony that had mineral wealth.) I dropped out of college and enlisted because of guilt.
My boot camp bunkie was an illiterate black kid from Mississippi. I had to teach him to sign his name so he wouldn't have to sign the payroll roster with an X. He died there. I was the only white face at his funeral.
Six months later I was at the old UW HUB in uniform and the SDS tried to trap us in a room and started a fire. The fuckers didn't realize that we were all carrying loaded 1911's. It was pretty much bullshit, but I still remember it vividly. My second tour was actually better than being on active duty CONUS with cock suckers like you around.
A mother fucker like you wouldn't understand. Again, go fuck yourself.

I like to be a Veteran and tell others to thank me.
I like to do that. -
When did I ask you to fucking thank me? Go fuck yourself.

I did two tours in Iraq. Well, if you count flying CAP at 25K "Iraq." Nobody should thank me for shit. But, the Marines and Soldiers on the ground in that fucking shithole deserve a thanks, whether you agree with that war or not. Anyone who goes out every day knowing an IED could cut them down literally any second, in 120 degree heat, wearing 50 pounds of shit, and in most cases really trying to help locals have better medical care, schools, and the ability to control their own destiny deserves something better than scorn. That is honorable shit.
Everyone seems to think that Iraq was a 10 year war. It was more like a 2 year war spread out over 10 years. The other 8 was humanitarian relief efforts of different sorts. Marines were basically the peace corp, but with big ass guns. AZDuck could better elucidate this point. As I said, I was at 25K picking my nose waiting for radio calls to bomb the fuck out of IED laying assholes. Not heroic. I don't really agree with nation building, but that's what the mother fuckers in charge wanted, and the folks on the ground did their level best to provide it. In super challenging circumstances. As I said, honorable shit.
Anyway, enough blathering. Happy Memorial Day to those that deserve it. -

So since you somehow didn't DIAF, I take it the overuse of pictures on your posts is your own little Ted Striker-esque way of a dealing with your ptsd. Is Ethel Merman in the bed next to you?

Regarding my intent with this thread: "Mission Accomplished", George W. Bush.
Followed by: "I'm Walkin'", Barack OBubba & Fats Domino.
For those of you who read more than headlines, you might find this article interesting from your Gospel, The Washington Post. I've thought this for the past 5 years that I have done volunteer work for wounded and/or homeless vets. Giving applause for Vets at a stadium doesn't do a fucking thing to help the plight of Vets who need help.
