Let go, don’t hold back. What do you really feel?

...all the interesting jobs in the military go to the enlisted men..

Right, 'cuz flying an A-10 at tree top level is boring as hell. Carrier landings? Yawn. Commanding a Battalion? Who needs it? /s

You demonstrate that ignorance is bliss. Keep smiling.

I don't smile...but unlike you, I don't whine (see tag line).

That was a quote.

Sober up and explain to folks who are reading this thread why what you are saying is important!

It ain't about me!

That was a quote.

A quote. A matter of opinion (misinformed as it may be). I offered mine.

It's not my opinion...but I thought the person who made it was sincerely interested in the person reading it.

If you differ with it...make your frikken point and quit whining.

You don't need to be confrontational with others who have a point of view different than yours...they are not a threat to you.

Just explain why you have an different perspective to offer.

It isn't about you or me...it is about the young men who are trying to make plans for the future...and who are considering the U.S. Military.

BTW, there are young men reading FR in an effort to decide what they should do for the future.

Are you speaking to them?

You deserve a refund from your last anger management class.

Well, yes, I was near the bottom of that class!:-)

Sorry if I offended you...I mean well but am somewhat feisty by nature.

That said...let's come together to encourage our young men and women to consider the military as a wonderful career option.

You are the one being confrontational. Shove off.

You remind me of Obama...it's always the other guy isn't it?

Note to the immature: grown-ups know how to stop the crap and hold their hand out to stop silly little disputes.

But all you have to say is..."you are the one being confrontational. Shove off."

Why don't you come back with a response that honors yourself and me?

If I have erred (and I know I have), I hope you will forgive me.

Don't answer just yet. Wait until tomorrow morning.

You’re pushing that troll boundary. You’re throwing out personal insults and being belligerent with anyone who disagrees with you.

No shame in running to Mommie, eh?

Reread the thread. I am simply defending myself.

If I am in the wrong, I apologize (and I am human...I make plenty of mistakes).

But it isn't about me...it is about you.

How big is your spirit?

You run behind the skirt. Troll, indeed!

You need to man up!

Hey sissy boy...how 'bout a response.

Or do you need to run to the Admim Mods to protect you?

The first and probably the only smart thing I learned in the Marine Corps was to eyeball an officer’s uniform to see if he had a fire watch ribbon.

BTW, manning up is what the White House can't seem to do.

Can you be honest...or will you only try to defend your weakness?

Or will you run to Mommy again?

BTW, to the Admin Mods...I love FR and have for years.

I love the honesty of FR...its grit, its strength and love of country...its history in the defense of freedom!

Posters reveal their vulnerabilities. They speak from the heart.

And, of course, as much as posters do their very best...they still fail from time to time...they stumble when they try to speak the truth.

Our posters are kind and magnanimous...they have big shoulders.

Now TankerKC...show us your big shoulders.

I guess there is a new standard for what the mods will allow here. So be it.

Your name calling and histrionics are a sign of weakness.

I learned a lot about discipline in my 28 years in the military. You have none. I do. So, I recognize that there is nothing that can really be done about an internet tough guy.

You’ve got a chip on your shoulder. I suspect it is because you never did any time in the service and feel guilty or envious.

Know this, though…you would NEVER dare to say any of this to my face.

Guaranteed.

And, now I shall shove off.

No guts.

This fine young man is the polar opposite of scum like Obama and Bill Clinton.
