I have been reading some of your latest posts and some of the posts you
had written in the middle. When The ship Amagiri crushed through the
PT-109, it was traveling at top speed or close to it. During World War
II PT boats were only designed for hit and run attacks. The boats
would approach enimy ships, drop a torpedo into the water and run.
The date was August 2, 1943 near the Solomon Islands. Kennedy's ship
was ordered to patrol(PT Boat= Patrol Torpedo Boat) the area and call
in any sightings of enimy ships. At 2:00am while Kennedy's boat was
creaping along trying to make the least ammount of nois themselves, The
Amagiri traveling at about 40 knots cut clean through the 109. During
this collision Kennedy was thrown onto his already bad back. (He was
even denied entry into the navy due to his back problems, but his dad
pulled a few strings and got him in anyway. After this collision he
was even forced to leave the Navy.) Even with his hurting back though,
Kennedy dragged one of his fellow shipmates, that had a wounded leg,
three miles to the island called "Potato Pie Island" Using a rope that
he held in his teath. This does not sound like a man that would be
slacking off on his dueties to me. He was later awarded a purple heart
and the Navy and Marine Corps Medal. Now, I have notice that you have
be arguing for quite some time now. I do not expect my message to make
you finnaly believe your wrong, due to your stubborness, but I would
like to say one thing: You are sitting at home arguing about how
Kennedy was most likely the one who screwed up by not paying attention
and just day dreaming that night (along with the other 11 crew members)
when really you are worse than him because you, rather than helping
the world, would rather sit at home critisizing a war hero. As much as
I would love to stay here and argue pointlessly to a brick wall, I have
better, more constructive things to do with my life.

The loss of the PT-109 sits squarely on Kennedy's shoulders and he is
responsible for its sinking.

This from a buttwiper whose most dangerous military duty was swabbing
out the head.


At least I served my country unlike you who spits on it anytime you
can.





I served my country, in a time of war, and in a war zone. I had two jobs
in Vietnam, the first having to do with an agricultural "pacification"
program, and the second having to do with the location, initial
identification and recovery of soldiers who bought it. Both duties were
at least 1000 per cent more hazardous than your time swabbing out heads.
Well, maybe not...you obviously were negatively impacted by your mop
time.


You didn't serve you did a job.


Really? Which definition of "serve" do you not understand?

s3;v) [a. OF. (and F.) serv-ir:—L. servWre to be a servant or slave, to
serve, f. serv-us slave, servant. Cf. Pr. servir, sirvir, Sp., Pg. servir,
It. servire.

You still didn't serve, you did a job. But, that is a strech because you
will not state your job title and they agency that employed you.

Harry knows nothing of military duty, except how to avoid it.

Was Harry supposedly doing this while sucking up to the Dali Llama,
his good buddy? What crap. Some folks will actually believe this. I
wonder which mortuary unit he was working with?

Not too adept with words and their meanings, eh?

Sometime in the past I stated the name of the person for whom I worked
while I served my country. Any person of normal intelligence who was
interested would have been able to reach the correct answer in 10 seconds
or less.

I still make more money than you do!

State your job title, the agency (if you can figure out the meaning of
agency) you worked for and the dates you were in Vietnam.

And you base this posit on what? Your fervent wish?

I know how much money I make per year and you couldn't possibly make as much
money as me because you spend your days posting drivel on a Usenet newsgroup
in a vain attempt at influencing people to your old warped view of the
world.

State your job title, the agency (if you can figure out the meaning of
agency) you worked for and the dates you were in Vietnam.

Sure, Bert, I'll be sure to do that sometime after you post your SSN here,
along with your bank name, account number, and PIN number, and
verification of same.

I'm sure that you have already done the research and could post that
informaiton yourself.

Poor dumb Bertie...you really think that is how the world works, eh? You
put in lotsa time at your tech job and you assume you make more than I do,
because I'm not tied down by an 8 to 5?

You do know about stock options don't you? Oh, that's right you had to give
back your ill gotten gains from the Ullico/Global Crossing scam your buddy
was running on the backs of poor working stiffs.

I'm not that interested in you, Bertie.

Your identify is tied to this newsgroups as well as a few other you infect.
Your life is so devoid of interest that you spend your working time and time
off hours spewing hate and discontent to all of those people that have
attained more out of life than you have.

Sorry, BertPoop for brains, but I never owned any ULLICO stock. Ever. I've
posted this previously, and I know you are aware of it.

I've made some money from time to time (and lost some) on the market, but
I never ever have been a believer in it nor have I ever invested any
significant amounts of money in it. I view the stock market as a way to go
to Las Vegas without actually having to go there.

Without the stock market ULLICO would be out of business.
Without the stock market pension funds, regardless of whether they were for
a company's employees or a union's members, would be worthless.

I prefer investments over which I have some control.

You have no control over your investments. All you can do is watch them and
then react.

The stock market, over time, provides the greatest return on your initial
investment.

You don't consider that control?

Not always true.
