He told them that bayonet was the stupidest thing he had ever seen

Although used mostly for tent stakes and candle holders, Civil War era bayonets are really scary looking.

Mormon Hating-We could ping a few people and fix that in short order.

Those aren't Mormon haters, we don't have any here, some of those people you are talking about are ex-Mormons, and even freeper Mormons who became Christians after arguing with Christians here at freerepublic, and re-examing their Mormonism.

Those people have Mormon family and Mormon friends, many people do, and even if they don't they don't have anything against mere Mormons, just Mormonism and the cult leaders and deceivers, not the victims.

Speaking out about the Mormon cult and Mormonism is not hatred of individual Mormons.

When Chesty Puller first saw the flame thrower, the first thing he said was, “where does the bayonet go on it”? I guess the Big O hasn't been told that, while we do have carriers and subs, we also need ships like LSTs and LPDs. Not to forget that Paratroopers use parachutes. So that the troops can land and hold the ground we are trying to take. But I forget, that the Hero of Vietnam, John “Rambo” Kerry is advising the Pres.

The Brits had a WW2-era bayonet that looked a lot like that, though a little shorter.

Did you notice that Zero called a submarine a ship? Aren’t they called boats by those in the Navy? How many submariners caught that slip up in terminology by THE 1?

It is impressive, and significant.

“”some of those people you are talking about are ex-Mormons, and even freeper Mormons who became Christians after arguing with Christians here at freerepublic, and re-examing their Mormonism.””

Also destroyers and frigates. Particularly frigates. The "Perry" class frigates have become a pathetic joke and desperately need to be replaced.

I did, but no matter. Speaking as a Roman Catholic, I have no problem with folks accusing me of worshipping Mary. But if someone tells me that Catholicism is a "cult," I am allowed to infer that there exists some personal animosity.

It's really not that big of a deal, either, except when someone who has seen that sort of personal animosity manifest itself tells me it doesn't exist.

Mr. Obama, this picture is of American servicemen mourning the loss of a fallen comrade, who was killed on the field of battle. They kneel in great respect at the foot of what is known as a Battlefield Cross--the weapon previously carried by the dead, adorned by his helmet, dog tags, and boots. You will note the bayonet affixed to the weapon, firmly planted in the soil, and keeping it standing. The bayonet is still standard issue to those who go off and fight in our defense. You would know that if you gave a damn.

“Mormon hating “ doesn’t exist on FR? (LOL)

Who knew?

Anyone that pays close attention go LDS threads in the Religion Forum.

Sometimes inunformed posters accuse others of hating Mormons when in reality it is not hate, but just exposing the LDS belief systems own writings.

It's kind of like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton etc playing the race card.

Empty accusations.

Oops, this sentence:

Was supposed to read:
