John: Yeah, I meant you! You started this mess, and then you just bailed out! Dude. You need to get back in the fight and start putting some rounds downrange.

Been out of the Army since late ’88. A lot of my buddies are still in, though, and are in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is were I get most of my info.

I coach youth football (as a volunteer) and run a blast/seismic engineering firm as my “real” job. Gots to pay the bills somehow, right?

Casca: Enigmatic? Ha! That’s a hoot. No, you’re not enigmatic. You’re a discredited racist and fascist, who chooses to offer nothing about himself in order to support his positions. And, please note, you don’t support your positions, you simply naysay or gainsay other’s positions. Similar to that old Monty Python skit.

“It’s fairly well known”… Really? According to whom? You? I offered my experiences to support my assertions regarding torture and interrogation, and how those related to a counterinsurgency action, such as that faced in iraq, Afghanistan and the War on Terror. You come back with the “gold standard” of torture (the SD) during WWII. Not addressing the question in that it completely lacks any sort of context. You attempt, through high-handed, pseudo-intellectual responses to win arguments through bombast. When that fails, you resort to insults and ad hominem. Risibility, anyone?

And, as Dukehorn pointed out, why use a commonly understood word when a $6 word will make you sound, oh, so much more intelligent. And, my goodness, there’s a nice $6 word in your last posting!

This was quite an interesting dialogue/debate until you showed up. Civility, manners and courtesy count. However, amongst the snobbishly insecure, attempting to score points and prove one’s own worth counts for more than advancing the discourse and having a lively discussion. Hopefully, your comments above were indeed final. This tedious clique will certainly be thrilled to see your departure. We all feel a sense of tiredness, no, wait, enervation, or lassitude, or is ennui better?

So, hustle up, Buttercup: That book on Ernst Rohm and the SA is waiting.

Rus: Yup. You are correct. I do seek out crises and high risk situations.

I do limit it as best I can, but in some instances…

EDIT: I did sell my bike because of the kids. I had a nice BMW K100 and it broke my frickin’ heart. Looking back, it was the right thing to do. Too much risk. Man, I miss that bike, though.

Dan,

“Porn for a liberal”. Not in any way sure how to address that one, so I won’t.

Apparently, my not being down with the whole “agree with me totally or risk complete vilification” thingie didn’t sit well with Casca.

I’ll look up Hammes. I’ve got a buddy of mine who is an ex-SEAL and he probably knows dude.

That’ll teach you to go away for a few days, huh? And thanks ever so much for the comparison to Sean Hannity and Fox News. You’re a real gem, there, sport.

So? Jump on in. The water’s fine.
