Tux of Borg Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Which is something that a civilian would never understand. I'd like to see some of the linguini-types around here work on a gun battery for a day or two. MWAA! 343440[/snapback] Another thing they wouldn't understand is UCMJ. Being 5 minutes late for work could get you 14 days extra duty and a loss of 2 weeks pay.

Civilians have no clue. None. And yet they PRETEND to know enough to second-guess the military. Sickening.

A good percentage of them don't own a firearm and wouldn't be able to adequately protect themselves from a teenager. At the first sign of trouble, curl up into the fetal position with thumb firmly entrenched in gullet.

Alaska Darin Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Owning a firearm makes a civilian understand what it's like to serve in the military? 345109[/snapback] I guess that's the conclusion you can draw from it if you'd like. I'd expect you of all people to try a little harder.

A good percentage of them don't own a firearm and wouldn't be able to adequately protect themselves from a teenager. Not (currently) owning a firearm and never having enlisted in the military, I'm curious what the relationship between the two might be because I'm not seeing how the two could be related.
