DC Tom Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Yeah, I just love how the vast majority of liberals use the freedoms paid for in blood by these brave boys to denigrate their actions and call for their heads. I HATE liberalism. 140739[/snapback] Of course, if those freedoms are unused, all the blood spilled in their defense is wasted. Personally...I think an honest (even if disagreeable) criticism of soldiers honors the fallen moreso than your blind criticism of such, simply because it exercise those freedoms rather than suppresses them.
Wacka Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I heard this morning that the soldier has been totally cleared. I have read that the soldier had gotten shrapnel in his face the day before in a similar situation. There was a terrorist bleeding, calling for a doctor and when the Marines went to him, he rolls over with a grenade and killed several GIs. This soldier was making sure a similar thing didn't happen to him.

Merely pointing out that the idiots in the media who wanted to crucify this poor kid for doing what had to be done and people like Petrino who don't have the nards to defend their own country yet are all to willing hide behind those who do. Maybe Heinlein did have it right after all.
Alaska Darin Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 BUMP. Since our favorite lemming decided to show up for his quarterly beating.
***PetrinoInAlbany*** Posted January 22, 2005 Author Posted January 22, 2005 BUMP. Since our favorite lemming decided to show up for his quarterly beating. 214655[/snapback] You & Tom should show up a one of the Lot 1 Pole 5 parties before a home game and talk to the TBD people ... While listening to the various reasons why many of them don't bother with PP&P any more, you might get a new perspective on "lemmings"... - - Nonetheless, I actually enjoy locking horns with the know-it-all, blowhard chat room commandos. So here I am ... - - So tell me ... Did the soldier who shot the unarmed injured prone guy get his medal yet?

Did the soldier who shot the unarmed injured prone guy get his medal yet? 214659[/snapback] He was cleared of all wrong doing and is back with his unit on the ground. Once again proving that people who are full of sound based on media sponsored fury signify nothing. Yeah, Tom and I are the problem. Keep telling yourself that.

Keep telling yourself that. 214663[/snapback] I didn't ask if he was back on the ground. They're desperately short on personnel and would take YOU in a minute. I asked if he got his medal yet. I refuse to watch FOX, so I may have merely missed it if he did ...

I'm sure they would take me back, since I've been there, am trained, would pass the physical, etc. Can you say the same thing? Yeah, I didn't think so. I don't watch Fox News either. Not sure what that has to do with anything - other than proving you don't actually have a point. No change there.

Alaska Darin Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Well, then, why aren't you at an enlistment center? 214669[/snapback] You driving at something? Be man enough to say what you have to say.
Alaska Darin Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 ??? I said it. It was in English, too. I looked in the online Alaska Yellow Pages but this was the closest I could find:- --United States Government - U S Coast Guard, Coast Guard Recruiting Office, Dimond Center - Anchorage, AK 99501 -Phone:(907)271-4545 -They can probably direct you to a Marine enlistment center. If they can't, don't worry ... You can join the Coast Guard in Alaska and probably still wind up in Iraq ... Let me get this straight: You, a 45 year old government office weenie questions the tactics of a US Marine in combat. Me, a 12 year decorated veteran defends the Marine and now I need to go down and (re)enlist? I did my time. BTW, I was against this war - but don't let that get in the way of making a fool of yourself yet again. -By the way, a common symptom of "blow-hard, know-it-all, chat room commando syndrome" often involves questiong another's manhood from five thousand miles away.- - Like Clint said in the movie, "You're starting to bore me." 214682[/snapback] You can use any label and lame argument you want to justify your lahjik. It simply shows you for what you are.
VABills Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 I didn't ask if he was back on the ground. They're desperately short on personnel and would take YOU in a minute. I asked if he got his medal yet. I refuse to watch FOX, so I may have merely missed it if he did ... 214666[/snapback] As a matter of fact you little sh-- he did get a medal. Along with his unit received only the second Presidential Unit Medal for a Marine uniit since Vietnam. So I guess not only was he cleared, but commended for it and his unit was given the highest award a unit can get. Now STFU, grow up and go the !@#$ away you little lawn gnome.
Alaska Darin Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Now STFU, grow up and go the !@#$ away you little lawn gnome. 214702[/snapback] Hey, you're not 5000 miles away!
KRC Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 You & Tom should show up a one of the Lot 1 Pole 5 parties before a home game and talk to the TBD people ... While listening to the various reasons why many of them don't bother with PP&P any more, you might get a new perspective on "lemmings"... 214659[/snapback] I was at the tailgate, and you refused to talk politics. I guess that kinda shoots a hole in your "5000 miles away" lahjik, when we were face to face and you didn't have the cajones to discuss anything with me.
***PetrinoInAlbany*** Posted April 22, 2005 Author Posted April 22, 2005 Wow. I didn't realize this was still up here. Apparently my opinion was SO weak that it prompted 2,436 views AND 137 responses. Must've struck quite a nerve with the "kill 'em all" crowd in here, huh? Oh, and the reason I declined to talk politics at the Lot 1 parties was ecaxtly that. Thank you anyway, though ... Oh, and to the name-calling idiots ... This strengthens your argument ... um ... HOW, again?
Alaska Darin Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Apparently alot of people enjoyed watching you make a fool of yourself (again). But I'm sure lauding yourself instead helps you sleep better. I especially liked KRC's final response to your regular hypocrisy. Care to respond to it or will this be another of your patented "hit and run" wankerness?

HOW, again? 313196[/snapback] So care to explain why this Marine was not only absolved of your crime but he and his unit was given one of the highest awards that can be bestowed upon them. Or are you going to go run away and hide again? Talk about a coward.
