I *used* to have a higher opinion of the military before I encountered..." Bert, Herring and flajim. No negative reference was made about the U.S. military in WW II, the last real war the U.S. won against evenly matched or even superior forces. As a point of fact, my mother's brother, the uncle I never met, was a casualty of WW II. When my first father-in-law died many years ago, his long-time lawyer handled many thorny, complex and financially related estate issues with unparalleled integrity. He was a retired Army general. I've known other honorable serving and retired military personnel. One of my neighbors in Florida was a retired master chief who ran a profitable home repair business based on the high quality of his work (and that of his crews) and his absolute honesty. Do I have to explain this further, W'hine, or do you now get it...at last? Oh...before I forget: Ich spreche Deutsches...vervollkommne! |

"Send me the graybeards," I recall him saying, "I want guys who know how to do it right the first time, without supervision." When it is critical, seniority counts. Seniority in a union just means you have managed to stick around for a long time. It says nothing about the quality of your work or your competency. Seniority in the marines just means you re-enlisted. Seniority in the military means you have been around and done quite a lot of things. For officers if you make O-6 before 18 years in you are on the fast track. If you haven't made it by 22 years you are just marking time before you retire. In the military seniority means you have been exposed to quite a bit of stuff. My cousin is finally getting a battalion. He has been at NATO for the last 18 months and he has been in Afghanistan for two tours and Iraq for two tours. He is well on his way to O-6 and beyond. Don't forget about enlisted time for us draftees!! One of my favorite Marine officers was an E-6 and was offered E-7 or OCS. He thought long and hard about it and finally went to OCS. He had already received his BSEE and was well on his way to his MSEE. I used to have a higher opinion of the military before I encountered you, Herring, and flajim here. How many times are you going to repeath that stupid response. Gosh, I'll bet krause even thinks we give a **** about his opinion. You'd lose. |

No negative reference was made about the U.S. military in WW II, the last real war the U.S. won against evenly matched or even superior forces. As a point of fact, my mother's brother, the uncle I never met, was a casualty of WW II. (Applying Nomdeplume logic) So then all the real men in your family came from your mothers side. |

Yes. 5 minutes of research proved it beyond a reasonable doubt. Don't ask for details. Go see for yourself. |

Must be something about you that really, really ticks him off. Or maybe it's Arianna Huffington cashing in big time on capitalism. Anything political in this group ticks me off, right wing, left wing, middle of the road. It doesn't belong here, only leads to food fights and more bad behavior. We've proved it time and again. People who have nothing to contribute about boats and boating don't belong here either. That seems to fit Ms. D'plume/Harry to a tee. I think you're either a liar or deluded. You rarely have anything to say about the plethora of racist/political posts floating around. Possibly because he'd rather talk about "boating?" It's amusing that a young girl who supposedly took her degree in political science doesn't realize that boaters have enough to bicker about without entertaining her with political discussion. She ought to be smart enough to find a discussion group that caters to her need to argue about politics. |

I think he's just got a lot of pent up anger. No, I just think you don't belong here, whoever you really are. I will remind you from time to time of that fact. Leave or learn to deal with it. Gee. What's next, are you going to smack the palms of her hands with a ruler? She really seems to get under your skin, *Sir* Wayne. What about all the obviously non-boating folks on your side of the political aisle? You don't seem willing to "remind" them of anything. Your hypocrisy is showing in neon colors. He's had plenty of opportunities to be even-handed about OT posts. I think he's incapable. That was the point of my OT topic, but he seems too dense to get it. |
