This isn’t the right time or place for such a protest and reflects poorly on him and his unit.

When is the right time?

About 10 minutes before we’re all marched into the detainment camps?

For all we know, this one man’s “impertinence” could be the straw that breaks our camel king’s back.

The truth MUST out, ASAP or there will be nothing left of this country to save.

"Salamander, I’m surprised you are here! I thought you had a NAMBLA charity ride today?"

Projecting your own deviations?

[Salamander]

Perhaps he saw someone there who resembled me.

Don't be an Obama....show us *your* discharge papers and prove *you* ever served.

Show my papers? Sounds like something a Nazi would ask but coming from you I expect nothing less.

I served as a 2E271A in a forward deployed Air Control Squadron (GTACS) maintaining AN/TYQ-23 V3. What's your excuse for service or do you think that riding around on an oversized tricycle is commensurate to wearing the uniform?

You and Sal could probably knock out that bucket list in one day!

[Salamander]

And I’m supposed to take ~your~ word for that?

FYI, at the age of 21, I became a military -wife- to a Navy man who programmed the computers of those planes you sat and watched. [E3s, actually]

The second marriage is to an AF vet who served during the early Viet Nam era.

[and go look up Godwin’s Law because you just broke it and lost the argument, invertebrate]

[Salamander]

I’ve already climbed mountains and had sex with men.

If he jumps out of a plane, your pathetic retort is wasted.

[masochistic invertebrate]

[TSgt]

And all this time I thought you were a guy!

So changing vacuum tubes makes you an expert on how an officer should defend the constitution.

First, Obama has ordered our troops in Afghanistan to follow a new sort of Rules of engagement that effectively ties both hands behind their backs and makes all of them sitting targets, I’m sure this had nothing to do with the Major’s decision to protest his orders.

And I’m sure that career move like this that could easily have him executed if a court martial decided to really stick it to him was done purely for his own vanity, or was it?

[Salamander]

“And all this time I thought you were a guy!”

*Intellect on display* ping.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

[but thank God Sherlock finally got a clue]

[shibumi]

Does this count?

[Salamander]

I could easily say the same of you.

[Salamander]

I salute your massive yarbles.

[she, who would never exit a perfectly good aircraft unless it’s already landed]

[shibumi]

Give the guy a break - those tubes can get hot!

You could burn your fingers!

[Salamander]

Big deal.

I can change vacuum bags *and* belts.....:)

[usmcobra]

I’ve always heard that to let’s say “encourage” young men with more brains than balls they purposely send them up in planes that are less than perfect so that they will want to jump out.

[Salamander]

Wouldn’t work on me....I’d just ball up in a fetal position and pray that I survive the crash....;]

KNOCK IT OFF! I’D BETTER NOT SEE THIS LITTLE FEUD CONTINUE, ESPECIALLY ON OTHER THREADS.
