Is it just me ???

I couldn't come to any sort of a conclusion from reading your post, but have you served in the Military or worked in Law Enforcement?

Not sure if that was directed to the OP or me. In my case, yes. 32 years between the two.

OP, sorry for the confusion. I think unless you have served in either capacity, you shouldn't be questioning folks from either category. Just wondering if the OP has done either.

Excuse me but I can't leave this comment alone. Do you mean people who haven't served in the military or law enforcement shouldn't question the complaints of those do? That seems fair. Those who haven't walked in the shoes don't know what it is like.

Or, do you mean those that haven't served in the military or law enforcement have no right to criticize the actions of those doing such? If so, my comments would probably get me banned from here. Police state is not a highly regarded state for good reason. There are some heated threads about such right now.

Let it rip! Ban hammers around here are extremely few and far between except for spammers.

But hurley842002 answered my question and I respect his response and have no issues with it. In fact, I agree with it. I suppose we could fight about who is more polite but that just isn't exciting.

That is the problem with this board. There might be a few eccentric types, like me, but it is actually a civilized place.

Perhaps the owner could have a Troll of the Week program and allow some truly vile subhuman in so we could all flail him for a day or two.

collage - it's one of those neat posters your kid makes by cutting up a bunch of photos and pasting it all together.

college - an institution of learning for educations beyond a high school diploma.

Thank god my 9/11 GI bill covers the latter. Much more expensive and time consuming.

Just sayin...

first, i cant believe anyone would even talk about this when they have never served.

second. there are only 180,000 or so people deployed around the world right now. over 1,400,000 people are on active duty. and another 1,200,000 on reserve duty. so, i dont think most will ever "see combat". you are clueless.


and i hate to get into these conversations, but what the fuck?

obviously i dont care if people talk about whatever they want to talk about. but, why would any MAN not want to serve his country and pay for his freedom? and then sit around and talk about those who do.

I'm just not even sure how I would even go about that one.

Well...it does sorta sound like fun...and a challenge.
