By that way of thinking, every one in the military is a psychopath ...
but maybe that is what you are saying.


I believe you hit the nail on the head.

'Bodies stacked like cordwood' was a fairly common sight when an NVA battalion attacked a US
infantry held firebase. Whoever was manning the M-60 probably killed more in an hour than Kyle
killed in his entire career.

What is a submariner if not a sniper?

I appreciate the fact that many ex-soldiers feel the need to justify
their actions, especially in a war that shouldn't have happened.

Tell that to the WWII submariners.

Or, better yet, just shut up. Your comments betray your attitude towards *all* military (except,
superficially, Luddite), and they make you look quite stupid.

Of course, I can understand that your comments are simply an expression of your 'interest' in the
subject.

Yup. But the law required young men to go fight a war. A war escalated by
a Democrat.

Absolutely. It's not often that someone offers a full confession of
receiving stolen property and implicating the thief. An open and shut
case for Sgt. Preston of the RCMP

For bonus points, what was the name of Sgt Preston's dog?

King, according to Wiki

Points awarded although I remember him as just King. Always liked
that show as a kid.

Mind like a steel trap. Actually, that question was asked on some game
show I happened to see years ago and I remembered that the correct
answer was "Yukon King".
