Gawkin's idea of national service is to put on a uniform, burn villages,
and kill women and children. And then rape them.

Ah, been watching your old video tapes of Kerry's testimony again, huh?
(do you get hard when he talks like that?)

So, are you attempting to say that, if you were a civilian, that that
doesn't constitute serving your country?

No, bass -- if I were attempting to say that, that's what would be printed
on the page. It does get tiresome having to explain things to you.

The point regarding Harry is that he continually and deliberately obfuscates
the nature of his claimed national service. Many here have plainly said 'I
served in the Air Force', or '...in the Army'. Some have said they did not
serve. Some said they served in the Peace Corps. But Harry never has
clearly stated the type of service he performed, or for whom.

Is there a reason why you think that Harry should tell people like you
all about himself? I mean, after all, facts don't matter to you one
bit, and you've proven it. You continually make false claims,
assumptions, and allegations with total disregard to ANY facts.

Now, there is no hard requirement to serve, or to state the nature of one's
service, and that is OK if one prefers not to say. But Harry has repeatedly
strongly implied some level of official service in SEA during the time of
the Vietnam war, thereby trying to claim some level of associated status or
familiarity, while steadfastly refusing to specify the nature of the
service, or to whom provided. This tactic is typical of those lying about
their service for personal aggrandizement.

No, it's not. Some people are not proud of the harm they've caused
other people. My uncle served valiantly in WWII, and had medals and
commendations to prove just that, and NEVER talked about it.
Absolutely refused.

Read the entire message prior to responding. This point is addressed in my
next paragraph.

...You continually make false claims,

Ummm.... I believe that should be "wild allegations".

Two completely different circumstances. Surely even you can see that. Your
Uncle (many thanks) simply never talked about it. Period. Harry repeatedly
leads everyone to believe that he served, and then refuses any detail or
further information.

Ah, so, is it your contention that, if someone makes a claim, in order
for it to be valid, you must include proof?
(NOW we are getting somewhere, I can't WAIT for you to show proof for
all of the dumb assumptions YOU'VE made)

Gawkin's proof comes out of a bottle.

Excuse me, I'm trying to work through your sentence structure here. Does
the above mean that if someone makes a claim, I must include proof ? That
could prove difficult. Or, does it mean that if someone makes a claim, then
that person must include proof ?

John,

Yes, Basskisser did say ... when someone makes a claim you (John) must
include proof in order for it to be valid.

I hope you are not too busy to keep up with it all.

John,

I thought as much.

Well then, in answer to his posted query: No, that is not my contention.

I am very glad you are not going to assume responsibility for proving every
claim anyone makes. It is too much responsibility for any one person. Now
if you could find 2 or 3 friends to help, I am sure you would be able to
validate all legitimate claims made by everyone in the world. ; )

As usual, you don't understand, and it leads to stupid question after
stupid question. John, if you honestly don't understand the above,
then you are too dumb to be involved in the thread.

Now, I'll ask one more time. Do YOU find it intelligent to get some
idea in your head, then post that allegation, or assumption AS FACT,
without any proof of those? Let's take an example, shall we? Because I
stated that my mother was an alcoholic, you and others automatically
got it in your ignorant minds that I have FAS, and stated that AS
FACT, did you not? Now, do you think that it's prudent to
automatically ASSUME that? If so, you are dumber than I ever imagined.
If not, then why do you DO just that?
